What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

To sigh about legislators and presidents failing to live up to the expectations of their voters is a worn, often effective GOP tactic because "Morning" Joe types repeat it.

yeah, like DH said it's the Post. but she shd be locally attentive if there's room to improve.

there is always room to improve in the first three months of doing any job. people love to attack this woman :(

i would view with skepticism any article in the NYC tabloids that finds a handful of locals dissatisfied with any person, policy or program - - - - i mean it is really not hard to find someone dissatisfied with something, it's inherently anecdotal and better for building hit pieces and retweetable "gotcha" memes than for understanding the politics of a district.

This story feels like cranky bullshit because a) it's the New York Post, and b) there was a story recently that because Ocasio-Cortez doesn't have to spend time calling rich assholes for cash, she's able to spend that much more time responding to her constituents.

literally no need to post this story

gotta hear both sides i guess

the veracity of this story is at the very least in question so i daily to see the utility in debating AOC's merits on this point based on this

fail not daily god damn it

xxpost Yes, important to hear both the words from the mouth and the farts from the butt. Fair and balanced.

no, with the POst the farts and words come from the same place

you got it, Brad (Superman III was a shameful waste of R Pryor's talents)

eh?

both sides now

Blue Collar is the only movie Pryor is in that isnt bad

you heard him, AOC is entirely to blame for SIII

Oh yeah also the Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings is good too.

AOC sabotaged Pryor's movie career imo

you heard him, AOC is entirely to blame for SIII

This is meant to be a thread about her flaws.

it takes a gaggle of shitposters to derail, sweetz

anyway there seem to be a core of fusty Dems who will try to unseat AOC, so she should give em not the flimsiest pretext

Blue Collar is the only movie Pryor is in that isnt bad

Hilary's cowardice was never to have used this title for a campaign memoir

Grace!
How low can you go?

nice to see

Related: Chelsea Manning has been trapped in solitary confinement for refusing to answer questions before a Grand Jury.

Solitary confinement is torture.

Chelsea is being tortured for whistleblowing, she should be released on bail, and we should ban extended solitary in the US. https://t.co/95ef4xYt3k

counterpoint: Martin Shkreli is also in there

So abolish solitary confinement and let those two share a cell.

what the fuck

we can throw unperson into a Midnight Express roleplay

So abolish solitary confinement and let those two share a cell.

haven't fp'd in a while. good to be back in the saddle

a few days ago I listened to that town hall AOC did with Chris Hayes and when she said the Republicans passed a constitutional amendment to stop FDR from being reelected I was like, "I hope nobody heard that."

Conservatives did.

xp she was right.

the amendment that capped presidents at two terms was proposed while FDR was in his second term but not passed until after he died. so it didn't stop him. but that was the intention.

i thought you guys were supposed to be smart.

dude the Republicans were in the minority in 1944. They passed the amendment in 1947 after winning majorities in house and senate.

yes, GOP regained Congress for the first time since the Hoover years. Truman was exempt from the amendment.

She misspoke. I have no doubt that she knows when FDR died and when the amendment was passed, just like I know 100% that Barack Obama doesn't think there really is 54 states.

But like Neil Armstrong forgetting the difference between "man" and "mankind," she misspoke. It's dumb of the right-wingers to run off with it, but let's not pretend that what she literally said was fact.

xxp it also specifically exempted the sitting president at the time of proposal or passage and applied only to future presidents. So she was right for the wrong reasons -- it was definitely a reaction to Roosevelt's third and fourth terms, but would not have stopped him from having them because he would have been grandfathered in.

xp. barack obama knew there were 54 muslim majority states Al-ḥamdu lil-lāh

I once ordered the fisherman's special at Hardees and was shocked that I did not get a chicken sandwich. I have no clue what I was thinking.
