What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

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

i think most bartenders are superhuman too

She's scarily good at this and the haters are all dinosaurs and fossils.

God I love @AOC so much. She’s my age and she’s already such an inspiration! We can learn much from her ❤️ #Bossbitch pic.twitter.com/JL66iAM3R1

Yoho (ARRRR-FL)

would obviously have to be representing dania, fl

You Only Hrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh Once

was gonna go for You Only Hate Once, but I think Pres Keyes covered all bases already.

Same here, but then I remembered, oh yeah, these people always hate more than once.

incredible

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez: "Mr. Yoho mentioned that he has a wife and two daughters. I am two years younger than Mr. Yoho's youngest daughter. I am someone's daughter, too. My father, thankfully, is not alive to see how Mr. Yoho treated his daughter." https://t.co/U2UIEaCljG pic.twitter.com/kk701q80zW

FUCK YEAH

was yoho in the room?

AOC: "I am here because I have to show my parents that I am their daughter, and that they did not raise me to accept abuse from men.. What Mr Yoho did was give permission to other men, to do that, to his daughters."

I can't imagine him being there

doubt it. most congressional sessions take place in empty rooms

Fitting for a bunch of empty suits.

flawless

One of AOC's flaws is that she flat-out vaporizes fools when she should slit their throats and leave their gagging bodies behind as a warning to others who might be feeling themselves

They have been pretty empty for a while, but extra empty nowadays because of COVID stuff.

Video/audio is pumped into congressmembers' offices and they each have a light in their office that alerts them when they need to get to the chamber for something.

Bravo, AOC.

the bravery and poise in that speech is truly breathtaking. I don’t understand how she even does that. I cried about 5 times watching that

It was pretty incredible. Did I detect her voice quivering a little?

saw more of the speech tonight, parts that I didn't see this afternoon, the whole thing was amazing

maybe being too obvi here since this thread title comes from the obama thread of the same structure, but her command of The Stage is p obamaish only she's, you know, better

The whole thing is worth the watch

mostly impressed that she didn't call him out in the congressional record as a bitch-ass motherfucker too pussy to say shit to her face

probably just as well i'm not in politics

"let the minutes acknowledge the lady has referred to the gentleman as 'bitch ass motherfucker'"

let the minutes acknowledge the hyphen as well

maybe being too obvi here since this thread title comes from the obama thread of the same structure, but her command of The Stage is p obamaish only she's, you know, better

this is so heartening about her, yeah - Obama was a very good public speaker and marketing guy, she is a very good public speaker and extemporiser AND a very good digital communicator AND her politics are admirable as well

i think she makes republicans mad bc (1) they convinced themselves for decades that someone with her politics would never go anywhere and she's probably the best known member of congress outside pelosi, schumer, and mcconnell right? and (2) she's young and latina and theyre used to condescending to women like her but...she's smarter and savvier than they are, so when they trip over their dicks in their frustration, she can make a 1-minute internet video-ready speech like "look at how these guys keep tripping on their dicks" and the ownage just piles on.

she's never gonna make the red states blue state 04 speech, but for this political moment she really gets where politics is going (esp for the under 40 set) and is able to bridge the gap between sanders youths and neoliberal "lets have a woman commander in chief to show that we can do it (it=commit war crimes!!)" dems who see her as a boon to meritocrat underdogs. she should absolutely primary schumer in a few years (or threaten it and see if he retires on his own).

more 2 than 1 i would say

oh definitely

One of AOC's flaws is that she flat-out vaporizes fools when she should slit their throats and leave their gagging bodies behind as a warning to others who might be feeling themselves

Every word of this is true, including "of" and "the" and "and."

AOC 2020: Fuck Around and Find Out

I think some of it is jealousy as well - she's young, good looking, smart, and likeable, everything the Republican party ain't

never forget

a very serious and principled deficit hawk breathing new life into the Grand Ol Party I tell you what
