CNN’s Fareed Zakaria sounded off the viability of Democratic ideas in the opening monologue of his show “Fareed Zakaria GPS” on Sunday.
The liberal host prefaced his monologue by saying how it was “refreshing” to see so many new ideas from the Democratic Party but said some of the bigger ideas could be a problem.
“It’s refreshing to see the Democratic party bubbling with now ideas. But its new thinking seems starkly different from the party’s reform effort of the past three decades. The wonky proposals of the Clinton-Obama era were pragmatic and today we have big dramatic stirring ideas, and that could be the problem,” Zakaria said. “Democrats are spinning out dramatic proposals indeed but in which facts are sometimes misrepresented, the numbers sometimes don’t add up and emotional appeal seems to trump actual analysis.”
Zakaria cited freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D., N.Y.) interview with Anderson Cooper as an example of the Democrats having a “casual attitude” toward facts.
In the interview, the self-described democratic socialist said the focus on her factual errors s was “missing the forest for the trees” and having her facts right wasn’t as important as being “morally right.” Zakaria also chided Ocasio-Cortez celebrating Amazon’s announcement that it will no longer build a second headquarters in New York City and her believing the state government was going to give the company $3 billion in cash.
It wasn’t just Ocasio-Cortez that he targeted. He called out Democrats for embracing Medicare for all without a way to pay for it. more here
Gee, ya think?
I figured AOC was the Left’s useful idiot and Millennial magnet for 2020 election votes.
If she doesn’t STFU, she may not keep her seat until then.
That’s just plain surreal. Reading those words, I had to keep checking to see WHO, said them.
Watching the Democrats reminds me of The Poseidon Adventure. The commies have upturned the ship, and some of the passengers are starting to wake up. Weird.
Zakaria is only upset that complete boneheads are presenting these ideas. He totally is onboard with all of them, but like others of his ilk, he cringes because the message is being presented in such a way it discredits the cause. He longs for a Hillary who is a master of the old phrase “If you can’t convince them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit”.
Zakaria’s giveaway is when he says these are refreshing “new” ideas. They are not new. They are tired failures that just get repackaged with a new set of distorted lies.
On second thought, the demoncrats who are sounding the alarm are only upset because the ‘upstarts’ are sounding the alarms way too loudly and prematurely. They are ‘awakening the sleeping giant’ of freedom too soon.
Oh shut up Freak Zakaria. YOU and your network are responsible for these monsters.
“sometimes”?

Welcome to “Talk like a Liberal Monday”…
Zakaria probably plaigarized the idea. Again.
It isn’t necessary to be factually, semantically correct – if you’re morally right.

izlamo delenda est …
Their base thinks we can literally just pull money from everywhere for anything because “we’re such a rich country.” They are as economically illiterate as your average three-year-old, and not much better at reasoning and delaying gratification.
