Excellent program.

My thoughts, 

I am skeptical of these women in Congress, whether AOC, Tulsi, or anyone else because they offer “hope” just as Bernie did, hope that the Democrats will save us.  Having Tulsi and Bernie run in 2020, even if elected will be mere puppets as all other Presidents before them, and they know it. In the meantime DNC strategy, now I speculate, is to suck off the young Bernie folks, pseudo socialists, and those who are afraid to support a third Party because you know the usual, “Trump is so awful,” and he is, but this is why we are just running in circles, with inequality growing, and more nations in our crosshairs for destruction. 

AOC may say some of the right things, but even if she is genuine, I see someone either being prepared for the future, a woman of color, or shut down when she takes up FP. In the meantime she is a diversion from FP, focusing on domestic issues as if one person is going to change anything. 

I’m inundated with postings of both AOC and Tulsi, they get a lot of coverage from mainstream media, unlike Jill Stein, Ajamu Baraka, and anyone else who speaks out against USFP. In fact, most of the websites providing information related to foreign policy are being censored or closed down, so one must question Tulsi, and I have yet to hear her go into any indepth analysis related to our wars, she supposedly opposes. AOC to my knowledge has yet to comment on FP.

We have a “for profit system” of capitalism which isn’t going to get better, it will likely get worse.
People need to remember, anyone can say anything, until they’re elected, and even then they can say anything and they do, as they have, it means little.
