What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

one option is greatly limiting that obligatory coverage rather than, idk, milking the sensationalist high for clicks

I want AOC to remain in Congress and continue serving her district for as many terms as she and her constituents agree to but I'd also be perfectly happy if she just beat the everloving shit out of Greene and then resigned for conduct unbecoming

I don't think that's what she's doing though, nobody needs the clicks less than she does

I'd also be perfectly happy if she just beat the everloving shit out of Greene and then resigned for conduct unbecoming

i believe this is also known as "resignation via TKO"

personally, i pray to my very powerful god for an old fashioned KO

I feel like AOC has a powerful roundhouse in her arsenal

rumor has it she’s a knockout game champion

i can't read MTG without seeing magic the gathering every time; it's very disorienting

Same. It's the new Isis.

Yeah, that fundamentalist militant group nearly ruined the Is Is ep by Yeah Yeah Yeahs for me.

aoc owns a tesla

:(

i mean, i bet it's electric, so :-|

her team is texting people in her district to see if they need any help with the flooding, why is it so wild to see someone in Congress actually trying to help people

Sarah Palin - still alive, and just as relevant as she's been since the morning of November 5, 2008:

I’m so sorry Sarah Palin is mad at me! In fact, to address this I set up a special hotline just for her https://t.co/FGUWvdqt4T pic.twitter.com/Fcr8cYvEYT

ugh, i don't know why i'm always astonished at the face of the fox news journalist. it always seems to be someone new, too! who are these people? sarah palin, i know what she is, i know what she thinks of AOC. but it's the fucking "journalist" who just smiles and _laughs_ back at this shit that drives me nuts. didn't people used to say that fox news had a line between their "news" and "evening op-ed fascism shows" and that the news part was actually decent? but...the screenshot above says "primetime", so maybe it's in the evening fascism time? but if that's true, who is this rando smiling/laughing fascist? how do they have so many?

is that Duff?

oh sorry, I meant the Duffy who dated Puck on the Real World

"She's milkin' the whole female thing"

... phrasing

i imagine that every few evenings there's just a totally new person there in the anchor chair, reading the PR. "hello, viewers, it's me, number 34. trust me: you can trust me. on fox news, america's most trusted source. now we'll pass it to don blankenship to talk for 8-12 minutes with minimal interruptions"

That aw-shucks phrasing is the only talent Palin has - other than lip gloss. It connects to her audience.

AOC flaw: doesn't put enough letters in her fake phone numbers

evening fascism time

lol

Met Gala

I fail to see the flaw there

I mean, I know this is effectively a general AOC thread, just clarifying that taxing the rich is a good thing

Master’s house with master’s tools, etc

great photo

👑

The Met Gala really makes me want to blow up the entire planet

Yeah this is grim tbh

kinda with matt

I think AOC would be doing a better job for socialism if she wasn’t at the MET gala or basics a likable quasi celebrity. She should be an ugly crank like Dennis Kucinich, who has objectively done a great deal more for the US left and is now the President

— Dennis Hogan (@dennismhogan) September 14, 2021

who is the woman with her?

there are only two options: being at the MET gala or being dennis kucinich

you could go to the MET Gala dressed as Dennis Kucinich

exactly

*reads harbl's post, sadly deletes hastily-assembled 2 genders joke*

lol

(xps) That is Dennis Kucinich.

Dennis is running for mayor of Cleveland, again. The primary is today!

but did they pay full price to get into Seaworld, or did they sneak in? It sounded like AOC got in for free ... so ... I don't see the problem.

AOC worked with James on the design, and she spoke to Ilana Glazer on the Vogue livestream about the experience: "We really started having a conversation about what it means to be working class women of color at the Met. We said we can't just play along, we need to break the fourth wall and challenge some of the institutions. While the Met is known for its spectacle, we should have a conversation about it."

xp thanks visiting

The idea that the dress "challenge[d] some of the institutions" is what most people seem to be taking issue with, not attending the MET.

Maybe she crashed it

lol oh no I've seen plenty of hot twitter takes already about her going to the event at all.
