"SNIP......

The View” co-host Meghan McCain exploded in fury as the studio audience cheered a list of Democratic-Socialist campaign promises, and vowed to keep those political ideas from becoming “normalized.”

The show’s panelists discussed sexist attacks against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the conversation continued past a commercial break into a debate over her differences with the Democratic Party and the policies she had proposed.

“We had her on this show, and I asked her this question, what do you mean by Democratic-Socialist?” said co-host Sunny Hostin. “She went over her platform: Medicare for all, fully funded public schools and universities, paid family and sick leave, justice reform, immigration justice, infrastructure overhaul, clean campaign finance, economy of peace, housing as a human right.”

Co-host Joy Behar greeted each proposal with words of encouragement, and the audience cheered when Hostin finished listing the policies.

“That sounds like a successful country,” Behar said.

1. I watched a clip.

Her head did not explode.

I was disappointed that it did not.

It would have brought a smile to my face.

[RandomAccess]

16. I watched the whole thing --- she went farkin' berserk

wouldn't let anyone else speak, kept interrupting, and was nearly hysterical. Absolutely PANICKY about the thought of "socialism," which she really doesn't appear to understand to start with, esp. since no one here is suggesting pure socialism. We want democratic socialism:

2. Her Message Is Resonating With The Voting Public That Is Fed Up....

with Trump and the Repugs. They've had two years to realize that the promises that were made by Trump and the Repugs aren't and will not be realized. Many, many have voters remorse.

So her platform is resonating.

3. Meghan McCain trust fund baby says what?

[madaboutharry]

6. Cindy McCain inherited $100,000,000.

Cindy McCain, an only child, was the sole heiress of her father’s $100,000,000 estate.

Meghan McCain is a terrible person if only for failing to understand her privilege.

11. Got that right!

[AtomicKitten]

4. Oh dear. She quoted Margaret Thatcher and went off the rails

She quoted Margaret Thatcher, who said socialism depends too much on “other people’s money."

[greymattermom]

5. Like all the trust fund babies do?

What exactly is other people's money?

[AtomicKitten]

14. I imagine it piled up with moths flying around in an otherwise empty room.

[gratuitous]

7. Government working for non-trust fund babies?! That's crazy talk!

Can you imagine people getting paid a living wage, not having to sweat losing their health insurance when they lose their jobs, living in a neighborhood that isn't a toxic industrial waste cesspool, having state of the art schools with well-paid teachers working small classes, roads and bridges in good repair, and reliable delivery of reasonably-priced utility services like electricity, clean water, and high speed internet? What kind of shithole country are you talking about???

[bdtrppr6]

9. you're unhinged

[gratuitous]

13. Shrill, even

And a dirty fucking hippie.

[vi5]

8. That sounds familiar....

...where else have I read people's heads exploding and needing fainting couches at the idea of such policies?

Someone help me.

[Autumn]

10. Extremely familiar.

[DBoon]

12. she "vowed to keep those political ideas from becoming "normalized.""

Instead she would like to see keeping children in cages "normalized"

[Crunchy Frog]

15. Basically what most other developed countries take for granted.

[Guilded Lilly]

17. Meghan, quit your damned normal voice SHOUTING. Just knock it off.
