The only valid point that AOC made, which she obviously just doesnt totally understand, is that crop rotation is beneficial to the land. Unsurprisingly, farmers have known this for years and thats why they put soybeans and corn on rotation for plots of land. Not only is it better for the soil, it helps to save on fertilizer expense.
Its going to be really interesting to see how farming in nebraska evolves over the next few years. I expect to see a lot of acres be used for hemp now that it's legal. Also, and something most people dont realized, is that Nebraska has the perfect soil and climate for growing grapes. I think we are going to see a huge transition away from grains, especially for what smaller farms remain. Niche markets are growing and I could see a lot of people take advantage of that.Gotta say, I'm glad we have a resident 'Braskan to explain farm stuff to us.
This is what I think she was trying to explain, she sounded incredibly idiotic in that clip. I don't know if she expounded on it, but yes, crop rotation is important to reduce the depletion of specific nutrients.

Now as far as small community gardens growing vegetables, give me a break. Nothing that these people are doing is on a large enough scale to make one iota of difference for the environment.
Just as a stupid factoid to add: cauliflower and broccoli are not naturally occuring plants. Man cross-bred cabbage with other plants to create them.
I'm curious of the thought process someone has to have to even think this stuff up. Is she just trying to think outside the box, or is she really this focused on her cause that everything she sees has to be good or bad?She doesn't understand any of this. She rambled this insane nonsense because she really thinks that cauliflower is a white racist veggie of choice and everything in this world must be viewed through the prism of racism and oppression.
This is the same woman (errrr elected congresswoman) who rambled incoherently in a video about how a garbage disposal scares her and how she didn't know what it was.
Or here's a thought: Maybe she was talking about crop rotation in urban community gardens, something farmers have known for centuries.She doesn't understand any of this.

This same woman (errrr elected congresswoman) beat a 14-year, high-ranking Congressman who outspend her campaign by over 10 to 1 for crying out loud. How does that happen with such a ditzy airhead?This is the same woman (errrr elected congresswoman) who rambled incoherently in a video about how a garbage disposal scares her and how she didn't know what it was.

According to Tucker Carlson, she's "racist" because she thinks that this rotation can include more diverse veggies than just the traditional European crops that we typically see planted over and over and over again.

If you are curious enough to want to know that answer (which, no doubt, most of you won't), you might want to watch the documentary 'Knock Down the House' on Netflix. Some lib documentary film makers decided to follow four nontraditional candidates in their primary races. The four were picked because they represented 'the new-style' Democrats who were going up against the DNC establishment. They knew the four didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning but thought their primary campaigns would be compelling to watch.
But they caught lighting-in-a-bottle when one of the four, Cortez, shockingly gave them a female "Rocky" story they could sell to Netflix versus showing it to their friends in the backroom of some beer hall. Having said that, the film is worth a watch if you like politics. Even Republicans can enjoy it because it shows a smug Democrat incumbent (Crowley) getting his ass kicked on election night.
This is PRICELESS coming from the WC's biggest defender of Donald Trump.Look at the effort this guy put in to defend this total dipshit!
She's a rookie politician who is recorded by people who ask her about all kinds of stuff every single day.If she's such a goddamn gardening expert and botanist, why didn't she just say "hey, it's best to rotate your crops"? Your insistence that THIS is what she meant is hilarious.

She says something about community gardening to somebody who's recording it on a cellphone and Tucker Carlson decides it use it to ridicule her on national TV.
This from the same joker who whined all over the place about the 'liberal mainstream media' attacking him by taking past comments he'd made out-of-context. What a weasel!!!

If she's walking, talking AND recording herself with a selfie stick, that's why I call FOLKING IMPRESSIVE SH*T!She's walking around with a folkin' selfie stick self-recording herself. SHE'S VOLUNTEERING THIS SHIT ON HER OWN.

Keep in mind this is coming from a dude who's lucky to walk and talk on his phone.LMAO at "if."
When you've been conditioned for eight years to bash the President and his Secretary of State and then suddenly find yourself in the awkward position of having to defend Trump's daily shenanigans, you've just got to find someone out there to bash and let off a little steam.I still don't understand the obsession with her.

AOC could have worded it better but a comment about trying a few non-European veggie choices in your community garden rotation wasn't that bad.Derp, derpy, derp. Weak. It's funny how your dumb ass digs in.

It was only asinine because most people first saw it being ridiculed by Tucker Carlson on TV.She says dumb shit. Trump says dumb shit. I call both out. Do I hold one to a higher standard? Absolutely. It was just an asinine video that I felt compelled to share.

I would have described it differently but her point - don't keep planting the same, mostly European, crops over and over again in your urban community gardens - was a good one.
Her trouble is when she flippantly throws out examples like cauliflower or cows that she makes herself a target for ridicule by the Right.
And for the record, you say dumb sh*t. 85 says dumb sh*t and Crazyhole says really dumb sh*t. But being regulars here at the WC, I hold you all to a higher standard.

It was a cell phone clip on COMMUNITY GARDENING for crying out loud!!!

I'm not the one parroting his dumb buddy, Tucker Carlson, by taking a nothing and imagining it into a something.
OOOOOH, you called out Tucker "numerous times" for his crap BUT THIS TIME you bought Tucker's trollish crap hook, line, and sinker and shoveled it in here with it's own thread.Jesus Christ, can you read? I already stated my stance on this and Tucker. You really are stupid.

Like it or not, she is the face of the democrat party. She is celebrated for being a visionary but any normal thinking person can see that she really just isnt very intelligent. This video is just another in a long line of videos where people see them and wonder how in the heck she is a congresswoman.Recent Red Hat reactions here in the ol' WC:
North Korean arms testing? Yawn.
Growing tensions with Iran? Yawn.
AOC on...Community Gardening? OMIGAWD!!!!
