What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

AOC for president in 2028 imo

disappointed, I assumed she would be streaming rimworld

she is chilling on her twitch stream, with 240K viewers (and rising), getting ready to play some game, and also talking about voting on the WFP line for people in NY, and distributing resources for how to vote for people in other areas (most of which are probably younger(?)), all the while in a very natural way, without reading a script, not in a rehearsed way, in a honest, vulnerable way. very few people in congress can pull all of that off right now.

#AOC2028

i just watched aoc successfully navigate a last-minute change of plans to launch the game through steam.

she was fine. it is hard to explain this feeling

Did she unplug and replug her modem

oh god, the audio is feeding back

oh god

i am honestly glad that this reflects a real twitch stream, where nothing is working and you don't know why

i wish all politicians were subjected to this

she's handling it better than i would

she's playing a collaborative 8-player game in beta mode, on twitch, while using twitch for the first time

this is the day she became president

Surprised there is so much interest in this

It’s 90% me treesh

haha, I turned on Pokimane's stream without knowing this was happening and was briefly very confused.

it's at least 50% jmm as well

flaw: just turned on the stream and the first thing i hear her do is metagame

what game did she play?

Among Us

Thanks sic

There may have been another earlier - I dipped in late and just kept half an earphone on to pay better attention when she was chatting about policy or asking a UK player how the NHS works at point of service. Most of the time she was just talking through her exploring the game - "if I open this, will it kill me?" - when the other players weren't in the same room / screen.

now I will never vote for her

very sus

That was fun. Kind of a hardcore group to go up against for the first time.

ok so there was a lot of interest, it's true. many people are saying that AOC’s record-breaking Twitch stream is the future of politics

I wish that article were better.

so do i

hopefully someone else will do it

trump just called her AOC, tonight, during a debate with biden

calling it now, 2028 or 2032, AOC

How many viewers know who he's talking about?

and i am so fucking excited for it. she gets it. she isn't perfect, but she gets it, and already has a huge following. also, preview of 2028 or 2032, but if you don't vote foe her for president you are wrong

xpost lots

AOC+3

went down for a snack and caught that bit. AOC+3 wtf is that

also agreed that this is actually laying the groundwork for her to be more popular than ever

that's what he wants, tbf, the republican strategy is not to reduce the popularity of AOC, it's to make her seem to be the face of the democrats. Of course democrats tried exactly that strategy with trump and we all know how that went

has she ever really done anything that's genuinely offensive (to these supposed Americans)? i don't get it. all i see are snippets on Fox News calling her the devil over and over again, Socialist hell, etc.

she's a woman and she knows things, ergo a witch

she wants to raise your taxes and take away your coal-rolling mega truck

young educated intelligent woman of color from a major urban center, knows her history and motivates a younger electorate, tends to speak up instead of stepping away, all the things they know are coming and fear

Perhaps a lot of them are secretly attracted to her as well and they know she wouldn’t give them the time of day.

I mean I think there are two overlapping questions here: why do they hate the left and why are they making her the hated face of the hated left, and the answer to the former is about taxes and guns and racism and fear of socialism and the latter is the other stuff you guys just said. And the undertone is "she's hot and that makes me mad" is pretty strong.

like I think they'd hate the green new deal whoever presented it but they also really enjoy getting worked up about her being the poster person for the green new deal

Perhaps a lot of them are secretly attracted to her as well and they know she wouldn’t give them the time of day.

no male politician has to deal with that

so in other words, stop doing that

I get that and she shouldn’t just some of the shit you see posted about her comes from fucked up places.

Barack Obama had to deal with that from a lot of older white women who reallllllly fancied Johnny Mathis in their 20s.

This is some cold truth from @AOC. If NYC were in a swing state, its election administration would be a national outrage. pic.twitter.com/Hu7nNIR4G4

Here is a flaw: tweeting about packing the court now instead of waiting until after the election.
