What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

I just made the mistake of looking at my dad's fb to see if he has anything new public (because I haven't spoken to him in over 2 years and am not fb friends). Holy crap are there a lot of messy memes about AOC being stupid. Obsessed. (this fascination with Maxine Waters and Pelosi too).

I have to admit that I was taught that the Presidency is term-limited because it killed FDR and Congress didn’t want that to happen again.

if FDR had run for a fifth term, it might've cured his polio.

Winning a fifth term unlocks a new level in Democracy

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quits Facebook, calls social media a ‘public health risk’

The New York Democrat said she stopped using her account personally, but her campaign still sponsors several active ads on Facebook.

i have not really been paying much attention to AOC but she's got that right

yeah A+ and a good reminder for me to erase my account

deactivated a couple weeks ago and it's been v good

likely AOC couldn't understand Ryan because he makes that face while talking and no sound can escape his pursed lips

AOC on Biden: "Does not particularly animate me...I don’t want to go back. I want to go forward.’"

“I haven't endorsed anybody but I'm very supportive of Bernie."

“What Warren ‘is bringing to the table’ is ‘truly remarkable and transformational.’”https://t.co/Ps0pMMMMeJ

This is a story from the future. It's the story of the world we won by fighting for a #GreenNewDeal. Written and narrated by Representative @AOC.

This is only going to drive that incel Tucker Carlson even further up the wall.

Has a boyfriend

plz don't. this is a bad direction for this thread.

Yes please let’s keep this to her flaws

Thought this was good: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/lamvo/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-aoc-conservatives-liberals-meme

AOC is the brightest political star born fully of the social media age, and how her political image has functioned online is emblematic of how society now experiences politics. A detailed examination of her digital persona offers a glimpse into the new digital partisanship — how Americans cleave to their ideological matches. Her rise and portrayal offer insight into the central qualities of contemporary politics: relatability, authenticity, and communities built around their identity. And the intense enmity toward her shows how those very same qualities can repel people.

1) The team behind the Green New Deal is alarmingly under-informed about the subject matter
2) The Green New Deal doesn't address the role of housing, urban design, or zoning in carbon emissions

Sorry, I mean the role those things play in increasing carbon emissions.

The Green New Deal, however it shakes out, is bound to be a flawed vehicle for addressing human-caused climate change. That's because it is a hybrid, attempting to build a coalition, where some reps who would not vote for a "climate change" bill will vote for it as a jobs bill and sell it to their constituents that way. That's how politics work. The decades-long billion dollar campaign of climate denial has a long tail and we'll be lucky to get anything moving before 2021.

there are a lot of important things that aren't addressed in the Green New Deal. for example, it doesn't include anything about the mechanisms by which a price will be placed at carbon, which is probably the single most important step to reducing carbon emissions.

that's because at the moment, the green new deal is a resolution, not a bill. it's 14 pages, mostly a list of goals. i don't know what will be in the actual proposed legislation, but it will be many times longer than that.

Anyone planning to watch the AOC doc on Netflix?

well, I am now

The trailer looked great!

It's good. Ocasio Cortez comes off very well, magnificent.

Man, and all the Crowley supporters in Jackson Heights made me laugh.

I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it, I know I’d be questioning the objectivity of the filmmakers the whole time

I’m sure it’s an effective piece of propaganda

you missed your calling as a film reviewer.

I kind of felt for the other candidates that lost and were so overshadowed by Ocasio Cortez but it's just not the way the story turned out.

fun fact: filmmakers aren’t objective, nor should they try to be

Did the filmmakers just document those four candidates or did they follow a larger number and then trim in post? I love all four of them, and I'm psyched all four are running again.

Wait, Amy Vilela hasn't announced her plans yet, but the other three appear to be running again in 2020.

can we not

I think that documentary opens here in a couple of weeks.

Saw the trailer yesterday. Her boyf seems nice.

We chose to go on the climate offense with the #GreenNewDeal.

As a result, climate denial is now a losing position + we got GOP (incl #WheresMitch!) to finally admit that climate change is real + man-made.

Now it’s time to go after predatory lending.

Whose side is the GOP on? https://t.co/1nI4UQnEVB

a little early to declare victory on "+ we got GOP (incl #WheresMitch!) to finally admit that climate change is real + man-made."
