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.
