Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

According to your original claim, members are bribed by campaign contributions. How can AOC be spending her time on her constituents if she spent 90% of her time raising $12,483,912?
Was she bribed by the $23,982 PAC contributions from from unions (78%) and ideological groups? According to you those unions determined how she voted because of their contributions.
Which they were too, which was evidenced when Boehner handed out tobacco checks on the floor of the House to Republicans.
It's possible both things can happen, Flash.
Because she doesn't do "call time", she doesn't attend fundraisers, and -as I fucking quoted earlier on this thread- chose to appeal to her small donors via e-mails and social media.How can AOC be spending her time on her constituents if she spent 90% of her time raising $12,483,912?
I literally posted and highlighted that for you right here, and you ignored it because all you do is act in bad faith simply because this is personal for you.
It's impossible to have a reasonable debate with you because the only tactics you use are sophistry and bad faith. Exclusively. You never act in good faith because you simply don't know how.
Where are you getting that number? Are you misreading that? Why do you never show your work?Was she bribed by the $23,982 PAC contributions from from unions (78%) and ideological groups?
