Ms. Spam Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 People are freaking out about her as a democratic socialist in Bernie's mold. We will see what happens when she gets to actual Congress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Yeah, she's a peach. $15 minimum wage, free college tutition, free healthcare, but no idea how to pay for it. And every interview I've seen with her is pure gold. I hope she sticks around a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 A politician who makes promises that they have no clue how to keep, or who want to spend money without a clue how to pay for it. Seems pretty standard for Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc DuQuesne Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 She reminds me of a less intelligent, less experienced, and less attractive version of Paulette Jordan, Idaho's Democrat candidate for Governor with 0% of winning. But hey, NY be dumb and stuff. We should trade, Paulette should be in a race she has a chance to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 They're stuck with her for a bit. Especially if she wins her election. The media jumped on her because of her upset primary win. They annointed her the new face of the party even though she wasn't ready for the spotlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. Spam Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Wasn't she some waitress? I mean we are fickle creatures. I get where she's coming from and she's young. I was young once and full of zest and zeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 I think she was a bartender. She’s got a good heart, and a lot of charisma, but she’s just too young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justus Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 All I know is that I don't want this gal to go away. Every word out of her mouth is comedy gold.It may be comedy gold to you, but too many Democrats support her go-nowhere socialist ideas, including many in the media...nevermind how their lifestyles are only possible from the "evil capitalism" they shake their collective pom-poms at everytime Cortez gives one of her elementary school debate class-level speeches.

Tex Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Yeah but not enough do. If a novice like her becomes the face of democratic socialism that's a good thing, because she'll just get laughed out of the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 What hurts her the most is right now she is just a candidate. She doesn't really have "people" yet. She's left to her item devices and speaks "her truth". Which for the past few weeks have been some truth sprinkled with a lot of things that she's thinks are true, but aren't.

Poe Dameron Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Eh, she'll be one of 435 members. She doesn't need to learn anything. Most of them don't do anything but sneak pork into some spending bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metropolis Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 https://www.mediaite.com/politics/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-says-shes-going-to-run-train-on-the-progressive-agenda/ OMG this girl doesn't get it. People pay attention to you because you say things that are out there. The irony is she talked about running a train on progressivism after talking about a fake nude of her. Consider yourself a star. What female celeb doesn't have a fake nude on the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 You don't think the conservative apoplexy and fits over her are disproportionate over what she actually does? A smear campaign based on the fact she danced in college? Come on. I'm not saying she's anything close to a brilliant politician, or even qualified-- but what she is, legitimately, is representative of people who have no voice in our government.

Poe Dameron Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 You don't think the conservative apoplexy and fits over her are disproportionate over what she actually does? I think people like hitting an easy target. Problem is, these days all it does is raise one's profile and make them stronger. A smear campaign based on the fact she danced in college? Come on. That actually seems to be instant political mythology. The "smear campaign" appears to basically be one guy on Twitter posting it and calling her a nit-wit. It hadn't gone viral or anything. No one of any name had picked it up and re-tweeted. Pretty much everyone first heard about it in the context of "conservatives use dance to attack Alexandria Ocasio-Cortz" and suddenly it was national news. Us on the right were like "What did we do?" Basically, we're going back to what I said a week ago. Twitter isn't news. but what she is, legitimately, is representative of people who have no voice in our government. I always kinda scratch my head at the notion that the Democrat party isn't far enough to the left to give a voice to their people. Either way, sheesh, has it ever ended well when someone stormed into power representing "people who have no voice in government"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I meant specifically, young and brown, which is one of the largest cross sections of our population. As for Dance-gate, Fox News was just as busy as twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
