What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

i'm not sure which is worse, this or the IQ speculation

definitely the IQ speculation

I will posit that he has no girth.

definitely the IQ speculation

Happy to withdraw it.

My main point was that AOC's words and actions demonstrate a more useful and pointed intelligence than Zuckerberg's words and actions. Which sort of observation is usually coupled with remarks about how misleading IQ scores are as a predictor of large swaths of useful behavior that are more valuable than the outcomes IQ scores are able to predict. Which is also a position I endorse.

Based on their words and actions, I would bet a sold chunk of cash that AOC wipes the floor with Zuckerberg on both real world intelligence and socially constructed pseudo-quantitative estimates of same

*solid chunk, gah

Zuck's haircut in that hearing is very distracting.

you guys are getting weird in here.

It really is. He should have an army of people prepping him for these hearings and helping him look good on camera, but instead he gets himself into situations where he’s relentlessly clowned over his booster seat, his haircut, and his actual answers.

xp

zuck's do was barely a step up from mark davis

i want to see see trey gowdy question zuckerberg, one on one

naw, they'd just trade compliments until Gowdy's time elapsed

I believe this is called "docking"

Trey calls Zuck something else when the crowds are gone

You have to remember Zuckerberg stepped directly from his clueless adolescence into an impenetrable life-bubble.

He wanted some penetration

Speakin of the ole Zuck, I had a public post pulled down for hate speech today. The post was:

"Yes, many Americans are dumber than Europeans. Look who we elected President.

But I think you'd lose a debate with a pencil sharpener."

So good to know the transphobia, racism, misogyny, threats of violence I report are never taken down, but Trump insults are out of bounds.

^this stuff is ultra-predictable and rarely anything but stupid, no matter who is the target. it takes all the brains of a snail to be that creative about your costume.

she looks more like Kennedy. The glasses are all wrong.

since when did AOC make Zoolander faces

Conservatives in shit cosplay shockah

lol @ her being "scary"

whats funny is that AOC actually does have a signature look which she just misses completely

Yeah, she wears Harry Potter glasses, how hard can it be to find a pair?

OTOH, at least she didn't use brownface.

feel like that was a gametime decision

lol @ her being "scary"

she is to FOX News conservatives

they're scared of everything

Which explains a lot.

jeez people, you’ll be dead soon. be afraid of juul pods killing your grandkids or your upcoming nursing home staff not disinfecting your catheter and not the young politician

I give quite a bit to fellow Dems - we’ve fundraised over $300,000 for others (more than my “dues”), w/ over 50% going to swing seats.

DCCC made clear that they will blacklist any org that helps progressive candidates like me. I can choose not to fund that kind of exclusion. https://t.co/qqwdwPAqek

I’m also not the only one.

Expanding a House majority is critical, which is why I regularly (and happily) fundraise sizeable amounts for fellow members.

I also believe that a Dem majority should be transformative, which is why I give strategically. Seems fair, no?

AOC takes Iowa

lol

Unlike other campaign surrogates (Amy Klobuchar touted the gold medal-winning coach of the 2018 U.S. men’s curling team) AOC is a big deal, drawing both voters who are on the fence and staunch supporters of other candidates.

the writing here is... something

I considered hitting up the Ames appearance but college campus appearances are... a lot

the article neglects to mention the featured musical guest
(I think it was Portugal. The Man)

loeooool

hey man, played a bigger venue on that campus than you ever did iirc? :P

250 yards and 4 TDs in a single day at Jack Trice my man. unbeaten

tbf I’m not really a golfer

4 TDs? AL BUNDY, IS IT YOU???!!!

She went on that show with Whoopi Goldberg and Megan McCain - The View?

Anyone see it, how did she do? I'm not sure I can stomach it. She should have gone on Rogan instead

didn't see it, but McCain apparently tried to "gotcha" her by pointing out many BernieBros are toxic on twitter and hoping to bait her into either denying BernieBro toxicity existed (which she sidestepped), or suggest that perhaps Bernie was ok with this kind of supporter, making AOC complicit being that she supports Bernie.

from what I read, she did a nice job of basically saying "it's very difficult to control what's on Twitter" but stating we should never condone toxic, abusive behavior, wherever we see it.

i don't know if she actually drew attention to the fact that Bernie himself decries this behavior, but from the quotes I read it seemed like she gave the best possible responses to disingenuous, bullshit lines of inquiry from McCain.

I mean if we're gonna guilt by association, your father pointed to a Black presidential candidate and called him "That one"

Isn't McCain only there to make the audience feel good about themselves? Its the others that are more of a threat than McCain, though I presume/hope she swatted them away easily enough?

I would expect Joy Behar and Whoopi to be AOC fans really
