What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

i think older folks underestimate the degree to which she is relatable to young people, compared to like, chuck Grassley

"assume deer dead">>>>"New party, who dis?"

I wasn't sure where to drop this interview b/w Michael Grunewald and Sean McElwee..

One radical thought dropped in that interview:

Look, the Democratic Party is a coalition party with five partners: African American groups, Latino groups, women’s groups, unions and progressive groups. If you’re only one of five factions, maybe one-fourth of the party, you should only expect to win about one-fourth or one-fifth of the victories. You need to work with other groups in the coalition to achieve political success. Sometimes you’ll win, sometimes you’ll lose, that’s how life works. Ocasio-Cortez has figured that out, but not all progressives have.

McElwee was torn apart in the last 48 hours on Red Rose Twitter for this interview.

the laughter does stick in your throat

Thoughts from a Warrenlad about what Sanders should have done, particularly in terms of black voters, should carry as much weight as Tiger Woods's advice on marital fidelity.

Well, it's true that few Sanders followers still have no perspective on why they lost.

Ah, rich white suburbanites. God knows history hasn't shown us that class interests can warp allegedly progressive views among the young and upwardly mobile.

it is pretty funny that his new org is called SEAN.

weird little man.

I'm not at all understanding your interpretation of that passage and the passage itself.

Well, it's true that few Sanders followers still have no perspective on why they lost.

This is true, as mistyped!

They were sabotaged by the evil, all-powerful DNC, and by the worthless, stupid American voters who didn't know what was good for them.

now now you’ve got to give some credit to the media, too.

Donald Trump's addressing that point as we type.

I’ll never say his lizard brain can’t latch on to something that Feels True for most Americans, even if it’s a narrative that’s a funhouse mirror reflection for well-off suburban and rural white boomer, courtesy of Fox & Talk

Hi there! Very new to this.

I would like to visit random people’s islands and leave a doodle or note on their bulletin board.

Can I do that? If so, how?

Should I open my DMs for the first time since the Zuckerberg hearing for the Dodo codes?? https://t.co/pQlm0ES1cM

god i can’t wait

Why are we sharing Moonie Times links?

yeah right?

I would guess that Trump thinks a Senator AOC (D - NY) would make a fabulous fundraising tool for focusing right wing fear and loathing. He badly misses Hillary "Lock Her Up" Clinton, because Pelosi just doesn't generate the same passionate hatred that he can use to juice up his base. He understands his base very well, but he underestimates AOC.

yeah the tweet was what I was sharing, not the underlying article. i didn't think that was all that complicated.

I never spoke to Rep. Yoho before he decided to accost me on the steps of the nation’s Capitol yesterday.

Believe it or not, I usually get along fine w/ my GOP colleagues. We know how to check our legislative sparring at the committee door.

But hey, “b*tches” get stuff done. 🤷🏽‍♀️ https://t.co/WlG3xccwR7

Yoho’s derogatory comments, overheard by a reporter for The Hill, followed an altercation on the Capitol steps Monday in which the GOP congressman reportedly said that Ocasio-Cortez was “disgusting” for her stance on issues of crime and policing.

“You are out of your freaking mind,” Yoho told the Democratic lawmaker for recently suggesting that poverty and unemployment are driving a spike in crime in New York City during the coronavirus pandemic.

Ocasio-Cortez responded by saying that Yoho was being “rude.”

After parting ways, Ocasio-Cortez headed into the building, while Yoho, joined by Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX), descended toward the House office buildings.

A few steps down, Yoho was heard by the reporter uttering the words, “Fucking bitch.”

love to hear that our elected officials are acting like high school sophomores

i admire her ability to turn around and just call it "rude", in the moment. i could never be a politician because if someone called me a fucking bitch i'd be tempted to call them a two-timin yoho who is about to fall down a set of stairs

On February 26, 2020, Ted Yoho voted against making lynching a federal hate crime. He stated that he believed it was an “overreach of the federal government and tramples on states' rights to make their own legislation on the subject.”

disgusting

grace under pressure is an asset when you have scum for colleagues

You should try it on here sometime.

That makes us the scum, though ("though").

what?

just imagining the uproar if the roles reversed and AOC had used similar language toward Yoho. there would be immediate demands for her to publicly apologize and then they'd talk about it for the next month, with trump calling her filthy mouth "AOC" or whatever

anyway, it's really cool that she can keep calm in that kind of situation. guess she recognizes a self-own when she sees one

If there’s one thing you learn from being extremely online it’s how to give other people enough rope

i think she's actually superhuman tho

i didnt realize we got paid to be on here, pplains

pish, I've been waiting for 8 months of back-payments due to the corruption of our treasurer *glares at poster who is the treasurer*

the uproar if the roles reversed and AOC had used similar language toward Yoho.

You are forgetting that AOC is a woman of color and Yoho is a white man, so both of them were just playing by the long-established rules.

I'll talk to Soros about that, sorry Morbz.

Must add Ted Yoho to the "Pynchon names in Politics" list.

is "fucking bitch" going to be the new "nevertheless she persisted"? like, inscribed on t-shirts and stuff?

anyway, this just makes yoho look bad. but what do you expect from republicans.

halitosis and hate

she's tended bar; however unexpected, she can handle a yoho

Yoho probably already sending out fundraising emails off this
