JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: THE ENCOURAGING AMERICAN POLITICAL PHENOMENON OF “THE SQUAD,” FOUR REMARKABLY BRAVE AND OUTSPOKEN WOMEN NEW TO POLITICS – THEY PROVIDE SMALL RAYS OF HOPE IN AMERICA’S TRULY BLEAK POLITICAL LANDSCAPE – SURE, THEY MAKE MISTAKES, BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE ANY GREATER BLUNDERS THAN WHAT WE JUST WITNESSED IN A PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE? ONE CAN ONLY HOPE A BIT FOR THE FUTURE HERE, REMEMBERING THEY ARE NEW AND FEW AND THEY WILL EXPERIENCE THE FULL FORCE OF MONEY-DRIVEN POLITICS UNLEASHED AGAINST THEM

COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN MONDOWEISS

 

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley – just extraordinary women in American politics taking Washington by storm.

I am immensely impressed by their courage in speaking truth to the establishment.

They make mistakes, so what? Just look at that fiasco of the first Presidential debate.

Any of these women is head-and-shoulders above the two election debaters, a President and a former vice-President, in terms of honesty, openness, and fresh ideas.

It’s an amazing phenomenon.

So, we are seeing some small rays of hope in America’s otherwise bleak political landscape.

One can only hope.
