That went over my head...is she a hypocrite, yes or no?
She blamed Uber for cabbie suicides. But she uses it?

she didn't blame them she complained about there business model
financial ruin due to the unregulated expansion of Uber..
her campaign spent around $4,000 on 160 Uber rides in California
conservatives used to call that supporting local small business or freedom of choice
But they spend more time calling her out while the POTUS lie lie lie and more lies and they remain silent

"she didn't blame them "
From the below link...
"NYC’s fourth driver suicide. Yellow cab drivers are in financial ruin due to the unregulated expansion of Uber"
http://americanlookout.com/ocasio-co...sands-on-uber/
"her campaign spent around $4,000 on 160 Uber rides in California

They are only calling her out, because she is going out of her way to say how bad Uber is. If it's so unethical, why does she give them so much money? You missed the entire point. Nothing wrong with riding uber, but if she's such a regular customer, why attack them publicly?
It's a lot like Al Gore lecturing us t reduce our environmental footprint, while he has mansions and private jets. That's liberalism, it's never about what they should do, always about what we should do.
If uber came out with a better way of doing business than cab companies, are they supposed to sit on their idea? Progress is supposed to stop, unless it does no harm to people who vote for democrats?
"But they spend more time calling her out while the POTUS lie lie lie and more lies and they remain silent"
Who is the "they" that is silent? I can make a long list of very influential conservatives who despise Trump's style. You keep claiming that Trump gets a pass, the facts don't seem to support that.

She’s a politician
Do they have medallion cabs on the west coast where this occurred, I assume none of the cab drivers out there were her constituents
Maybe she’ll tweet something and distract the dialogue

Ah, I see. So when Republicans behave like reptiles, you call them out on it. When democrats do it, you dismiss it as politicians just being politicians. Do i have that about right?
Do most politicians believe unemployment only gets low because we all work multiple jobs?

Want to pick stupid statements politicians make
“Now, the audience was the biggest ever. But this crowd was massive. Look how far back it goes. This crowd was massive.”
“We got 306 because people came out and voted like they've never seen before so that's the way it goes. I guess it was the biggest Electoral College win since Ronald Reagan.”
“No, I don't benefit. I don't benefit. In fact, very very strongly, as you see, I think there's very little benefit for people of wealth.”

I agree. Clinton was too reptilian to be a model to emulate. The Butabi brothers were sort of likeable amateur pick up bumblers who learned that success and wealth, rather than brutal political power, were the nicer more mutually agreeable ticket to getting chicks.
