AOC's self-defeating side

    I do not think it is a good or helpful thing when AOC gloats sassy like this, it is the Bernie bro side of her, a major flaw. Cramer is someone who has always been into helping amateurs of modest means play the market and she comes across as a extreme left socialist harpie, which the GOP operatives greedily lap up:

    It's rather immature and high-schoolish to boot. Certainly this message is not going to be appealing to a surburban female professional swing voter whose IRA just got decimated. I suspect some of the constituents that voted for her wouldn't like it either, such as the prosperity gospel fans of Caribbean heritage or Afro-American urban professional women, etc.

    Yeah, thought she'd gotten smarter on this kind of thing.

    If she'd stick to retweeting this stuff...


    Con respetto, perhaps the irony eluded you...

     

    viz,the juxtaposition of "best week since 1938" in the background and the unemployment numbers in the foreground.

     

    Mi Reina does not play.,

     

    She cannot be defeated.

     


    Oh. Now I get it.
    I was faster in my youth.
    And prettier, too.


    Claro, so say we all...

    ('Cept DoubleA, she's still hella pretty..).

     


    Aw, sweet thank you.

    Ok now done with that I would like to swing into my angry first-wave feminist mode. It does very much stick in my craw, raise the blood pressure quite a bit, that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez definitely gets a lot of her attention both pro and con because she is so pretty. It's the we'll listen to Gloria Steinem but not to that ugly bitch Bella Abzug problem writ large, unsolved, still there, decades later.

    Compare Rep. Katie Porter who should be getting all the top celebrity rating and legions of fans for and enemies against. But no, it's the pretty little Latina with the social media branding savvy that excites you.

    What do you want in a politician, a brand label that knows how to sell visions in contemporary version of Madison Avenue, i..e. "sexy", OR an actual product that works,does stuff and produces results? Katie Porter can clearly eat AOC's lunch but no, she's not charming.

    I will add that it goes both ways. The JFK syndrome, oh how my mother could wax poetic about how it was so exciting to have a handsome virile young man with a full head of hair as president. Yeech. That's precisely what is wrong with this country. And I think many of those "in love" with AOC and hating AOC are doing exactly the same thing. Personality and looks politicians, why do we care so much, why can't we desire actual workers, not celebs?

    I'm all down with AOC having her own pundit show, would have nothing against it, she's made for it. Congressperson?Remains to be seen.


    Aside: speaking of wimmin given to selling a "look", I thought this was somewhat intriguing, did ya all see it?

     


    I think we can all agree that she is way too good for that fat fuck...


    There was some unfounded talk that Melania was "good" and didn't support or think like her husband. I've seen absolutely no evidence that she's good by any standard I use. That she's good looking I'll agree but women mostly don't prioritize looks in a life partner or even a short term sexual relationship. If they did I'd never have gotten laid.


    How are you in an N95?

    "A hit, a very palpable hit..."

     

    I plead guilty as charged, and I break my own heart to look back on my careless neglect of the many plain women in my life to whose real inner worth I was foolishly blind.

     

    Alas it is a big mistake to let the little head think instead of the big one.

     

    That said, AOC has done some committee questioning that stands up to Katie Porter's skewering of Jamie Dimon, (and give Mi Reina time).

     

    Don't hate her because she's beautiful...


    Agree with the AOC cute-buys-fans, but I truly appreciate her in Congressional hearings where I'm used to seeing boring, unprepared reps or self-absorbed blowhards on a quest:

    5 minutes to tear into Zuckerberg, not unfairly, methodically, is golden. At a minimum he comes across out of touch and unconcerned while rubbing elbows with unsavory partisans. [I remember Kamala Harris, a prosecutor, neglecting to put the knifeblade in to Brett Kavanaugh, wondering why she got up to but held off on the coup de grace]

    Elsewise, I see AOC growing into the job. That I didn't know Katie Porter until recently is likely a result of the media's focus on photogenic to give any woman airtime. Of course that's intrinsic within party organizing too.


    Site unresponsive, and, evidently, stuttering...sorry.


    It's *your* job to arouse it - otherwise it just lays there. (I'll have to check on this stuttering thing - that sounds worrisome)


    disclaimer:  I was tring to embed this tweet, and kept kettng "site problem" message, which  evidently replicated in blank posts...: https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1249021851919159297


    When u embed, remove any little icons - they mess it up.


    Thanks.

     

    My ongoing campaign to get DoubleA signed up for Alexandria's Army....


    Think you've confused her role - she's an evaluator, not a recruit. In any case, will take more than a Breakfast Club skit to win her over.


    Tell me that chick can't dance...!


    AA ain't Emma Goldman.


    I have admired her as a cool and interesting historical figure, though.wink

    but yeah last time I had EmmaGoldman-ish affectations I was like, 17 maybe.Grew up quickly after being introduced to "the streets" by waiting on tables at a Sicilian joint known to be the place to go after-hours. There I learned about the errors of falling for: pie in the sky.


    Ah, photobombed, bigly.


    Also , 10 style points for Cramer in the frame...(BUYBUYBUYBOOYAH!)


    Bear in mind, she breathed life back into the dead corpse of Bernie's campaign after the infarction...

     

     

    AOC IS JOAN OF FUCKING ARC!

    I was hoping for a more rationalist explanation for what went down but will go with yours for the time being.


    I am waiting....

     


    Here's what'll' take a fuckin' miracle...

     



    Oh come on - Congressional Black Caucus? AIPAC? Hispanic groups? Blue Dogs? How did Ted Kennedy behave towards Jimmy Carter? How did Carter & Humphrey & John Connoly behave towards McGovern? I think Jerry Brown wanted some skin to come on over. ..


    Progressive darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she was “absolutely” supporting presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, arguing that “the stakes are too high when it comes to another four years of Trump.”

    One good side of her, she knows how to tattle on the cliques for the benefit of the clueless kids:
