She looks like a cute little thing, but she's a couple years away from going in dry on them, methinks.
Kind of not in love with calling an intelligent adult woman a "cute little thing" in response to her nuanced argument against political corruption.

what is a moderate democrat exactly? left wing is hardly what they are since they keep admitting that they need to move further right in order to win elections
how is she differentiating from "moderate democrats" aka republican lite?
by wanting a green new deal implemented?
by wanting to regulate Wall St and break up these too big to fail businesses?
by wanting to tax income over $10 million at 70%?
by wanting to get rid of citizens united and allowing for only public financing of campaigns?
by wanting universal healthcare?
by wanting tuition free college and improved higher education?
by wanting to end the illegal wars you got going overseas?
by wanting to raise the minimum wage to a living wage?
by abolishing ICE?
If I have to explain what a moderate Democrat is to you, I'm not sure this is a conversation worth having.

Ooooh. . . text not showing tone strikes again. I was speaking from their perspective-- if they don't take her seriously, it's going to go badly for them, methinks. And don't think she's not doing it on purpose:
They're so outraged that she'd dare dance and be seen doing it, that they are going to miss the fact that they're about to wake up wondering what Roman Legion ran over their politics.

She's obviously highly intelligent, but she's hot as fuck. It's just a fact lol

Well, given that I'm the OP and that I've now made two threads about my probably inappropriate crush on her, I don't think your idea was unreasonable.
The truth is, if I saw a girl who looked like her but lacked the same sharp wit, I'd still be attracted to her for monkey-brain reasons. But I think that adds more to the real OAC rather than taking away-- nobody mocks male politicians who use primal charm to attract voters. I didn't hear too much outrage at this:
If a woman knows she comes across as cute and adorable, and wants to use that to flip the bird to the GOP, then I say more power to her, so long as she also has the brains and values to back up a serious political position!

There is no question that she's a good-looking woman. I'd call her cute any time, just never as a response to her actions on the job. Like, "Oh, isn't it cute that she thinks? Just precious."

If any Republicans (or old-party Democrats) think that, then they are likely in for a rude awakening. After Trump himself, I'd reckon she's the second-most talked-about person in American politics right now, and it's not just because her two dance videos were trending.
Show me one male politician who can post a picture like this:
![[Image: nFZn21RLlI2ytdbgRfJ2RB_gkUzZDkkPttofxi_E...036b53fe36]](https://external-preview.redd.it/nFZn21RLlI2ytdbgRfJ2RB_gkUzZDkkPttofxi_Em7I.png?auto=webp&s=c5e7e1ea5d62f6d2c228fb6e22cf56036b53fe36)
If she ends up going places, those shoes are going to be in the Smithsonian. This is one of the most powerful political images I've ever seen-- I guarantee there are plenty of hard-working people in the US with shoes like that, and that Trump isn't one of them.

Check this shit out. Trump's in trouble. She's paving groundwork to supboena Trump's tax records methinks.
