I always remember the code as (bracket)video=youtube(end bracket)insert youtube link here(bracket)/video(endbracket)

Not gonna' lie, it's a little embarrassing watching her talk about "Christ" while lazily quoting scripture. While I love a lot of what AOC stands for, it seems to be that the whole stand your ground and draw a line in the sand tactic isn't working for us on the left. Conservatives will double down and tell us to go fuck ourselves until the end of time. They'll do it until the world burns down, and remain self-righteous all the way. So as smart as AOC is, she's completely misguided.

Pick your battles. If I had my way, religion wouldn't exist. I love liberals because they represent the inclusive pluralistic nature in our species, but even with my fellow liberals, even with the likes of AOC or Martin Luther King Jr or Anne Frank, as much as I love them, I would still argue that our morality isn't coming from old mythology, but is in our evolution as individuals. 

AOC isn't misguided, wrong about the existence of a God sure. But between how she views economics and society and inclusion and pluralism, who do you want in office? Her or the orange fucktard?

I still say she's misguided. I mean, if you're giving me the very limited scope of AOC or Trump... Yeah, I pick AOC any day of the week. Hell, I'd pick damn near anyone over Trump... I'd probably pick an actual orangutan over Trump. Okay... maybe not that far. But you get the point.

I just think AOC tries very hard to be this like hard-hitting, stand your ground type of Liberal, and it just isn't working. Like I said, Republicans will double down, draw a line in the sand and tell liberals to go fuck themselves until the end of time - and they'll do so with smug fucking smirks on their faces, actually believing that they're doing the right thing, because they think they're opposing the Satanic, evil Libtards! YEEHAW! It's not gonna' work. We need to find a more sly way to defeat the Repubs, imho.

And yes, I think AOC is obviously misguided when it comes to religion, and watching her lazily quote scripture is a bit cringe-worthy. Of course, morality does not come from any sort of divine source, as much as we try to tell ourselves it does as a human race.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
