A tweet from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently gave me both pause and resolve. The Radical, Extreme-Left agenda isn’t that at all. It’s America’s agenda.

Radical Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sarcastic tweet hits the nail on the head.
I ran across an AOC tweet about the Radical Extreme Left that really gave me pause.
Reminder of what people are calling the โradical, extreme-left agendaโ:
- Medicare for All
- A Living Wage & Labor Rights
- K-16 schooling, aka Public Colleges
- 100% Renewable Energy
- Fixing the pipes in Flint
- Not Hurting Immigrants
- Holding Wall Street Accountable
This reality requires a lot of discussions. We must frame the argument in the right context to ensure Americans are not duped by the Plutocracy. For too long we have been voting against our interest.

DailyKos: Trump’s G-7 achievements: No trade deal, no military deal, no climate deal, yes on helping himself
Almost from the moment he stepped into the White House, Donald Trump has been conducting trade negotiations with China. Unsuccessful trade negotiations with China. Trade negotiations with China that have gone so badly that theyโve disintegrated into a trade war in which Trump has slapped on an increasing series of tariffs in order to prove his personal theoryโa theory held by no one else anywhereโthat tariffs are a good thing and trade wars are beneficial. However, the Trump-shy stock market and recession-worried nation can just relax, because none of that was serious. Now, says Trump, now โserious negotiations can begin.โ Well, not actually now. But โsoon.โ
As the AP reports, Trump claimed during a Monday interview at the G-7 that his team of trade negotiators had received a pair of โvery good callsโ from their Chinese counterparts over the weekend. Those calls, said Trump, indicated that the two sides finally understood each other and are โdealing on proper terms.โ All this means that โweโre finally going to have a deal.โ
Which is nice. Except โฆ China says itโs BS. Minutes after Trump spoke, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman joined other officials in saying that there were no calls, that they didnโt know what Trump was talking about, and that China was ready to โprotect itselfโ and continue this trade war to itโs bitter, recessionary end.
Meanwhile, itโs not just economic deals that are baffling the great deal-maker. At the G-7 meeting, Trump also admitted that there was โno timelineโ for reaching an agreement with the Taliban that would finally allow the U.S. to withdraw troops from Afghanistan after 18 years of war. This is in spite of several proposed solutions that were agreed to by the Taliban and despite the fact that Trump ran for president on claims that he would bring the troops home immediately in 2016; then in 2017 said he would bring all troops home by 2018; and earlier this month said he would have all troops home by 2020. But at the G-7, Trump said there was โno rush.โ Which may be the one thing heโs said thatโs true. Because heโs not rushing.
Still, if Trump is struggling to deliver a โwinโ on either trade or military, at least heโs trying. When it comes to the climate crisis, Trump was literally a no-show. Trump was scheduled to attend a discussion on dealing with the crisis along with other G-7 leaders, but when the time for the meeting came, Trumpโs chair was empty. And it stayed that way.
