What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

our mega dawn is supposed to be read as armageddon

every good thread title has an asterisk and an pronunciation/interpretation guide

sic gone sic

I think if AOC really wants to prove her scientific acumen to the American people, she will tell us precisely how much square footage the tissue of a thoroughly-unknitted Ted Cruz would cover. And I expect her to show her work!

sic we gotta get you a hobby or a pet or something

i never understood what was so bad about the title considering it was obviously a callback to the Obama title. also it's a decent framing to examine those candidates who have a progressive following and determine if they measure up to their reputation. I never read it as the "put a female politician under a ridiculously large microscope that a male politician will never be subject to" framing that some seemed to.

also in the last 5 minutes Biden has asked for $5 again

fwiw when i suggested "replacement" i meant starting a new thread. but renaming this one seems fine, even if some jokes are now confusing. maybe just edit the first post to clarify, or not, idk.

bookmark is still gonna show the old one anyway

don't given biden $5, he'll just blow it on ice cream

xp

oh well good of you to tell me that now when my checking has been emptied

xposts ehhh it's a little like how the Elton poll results title was kind of an Elton diss --- just throws off the mood when you see the bookmark pop up, you expect to see right-wing anti-AOC memes, or sneering conservatives racking up zings and high-fiving each other, or just bad news about her committing some faux-pas or something.

lol I never meant to get it changed, its just weird to have an actually good Congressperson out there

just throws off the mood when you see the bookmark pop up

unfortunately i think even with a title change the bookmark title will remain the same (even if you un-bookmark and re-bookmark)

xp on one hand i gave it the obama-referencing title because i liked/like obama and her ascent was reminding me of the early obama days when it seemed he could do no wrong. and also because, inevitably, like obama, she will screw up. to me, "what are ____'s flaws" is a genre of thread title (a genre of 2) that refers to people you genuinely like a lot and want to succeed, but i understand how that doesn't come through to people who aren't glued to the political threads

I genuinely love how unflappable she is. And I love imagining how flapped her would-be antagonists are by her unflappability.

(sorry to evoke AOC in AOC thread, please continue discussion of thraed-naming conventions)

AOC what you did there

sorry. god, i just want this week to be over

yeah it never read as negative to me, especially considering it was a callback thread title. but whatever, what's done is done.

also Biden sent an email this morning that said:

Team -- over the past 48 hours, literally EVERYONE has emailed you!

Finance Director Katie Petrelius emailed you.
Campaign Manager Greg Schultz emailed you.
Joe Biden emailed you.
Congressman Cedric Richmond emailed you.
AND Congressman Jim Clyburn emailed you.

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment, and we need your support.

just realised the thread title changed (hence sic's post). dumb change imo but w/e

request a mod change this title every week, first to "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Where Are Her Flaws?", then "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: How Are Her Flaws?", then "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Who Are Her Flaws?", etc

sic vmic

how does she floss?

one leg at a time, just like everyone else

I don't have a problem with the title of this thread any more than I did with the Obama one. I don't open this thread intending or expecting to see people talking shit about her, but I don't expect a cheerleading section either. the mildly cautious eye-on-u approach seems ok.

i believe there are actually lots of good congresspeople, they just don't make news.

i am very sorry to nitpick, and i'm actually ok with changing the title to whatever, but why keep the "flawed" part in it, even in parentheses, if that's the part that prompts negative feelings when it's seen? just ditch it entirely imo, it's not a big deal

She doesn’t put ketchup on her bacon, egg, and cheese. I think that is a flaw!

AOC ain't nuttin to fuck with

I have the best congressperson, Pramila Jayapal, who's gonna be speaker

but silby, Jayapal voted to reauthorize the patriot act! that means she's canceled forever and she is a total tool now, no matter what

Responding to Cruz with a resume including science fair awards was understandable but also way more than necessary. “Eat a bag of dicks, blobfish” would suffice.

I have no grasp of the logic that went into changing this thread’s title

She is flawless, the question is totes redunds

You are welcome for that horrendous neologism, btw.

You’re a bad person for that

That and many other things, yes.

give us back original thread title please

yeah as the one who prompted this I agree, either change it back or listen to my input on every other thread title that should change

guys he has us hostage

the original bookmark showed up for me even after the change idk

this isn't the original title!

remember when Whiney reamed forks over changing the title of the people that yelp thread

good times y'all

good times, good times

Now delete all posts about thread name change so sic's post will look very Oliver Stone

The 'flaws' have changed

fuck what did she do now

she didn't know a science

Now delete all posts about thread name change so sic's post will look very Oliver Stone

otm

lol this is now the best thread on the board
