I don't like AOC and her fake new fans part 1

[GrandizerII]

That's ok. The more Fox News (and other conservative media) talk about her obsessively nitpicking everything she says, does, and wears, the more and more famous she becomes. I mean, far more people know about her than they do some of the candidates running for presidency, lol.

Yes, she fucks up with her words here and there. So does every congressman ... and the president himself.

That said, just watched the video (and remembered seeing it before). I don't think she said anything substantially wrong there. This is what's happening anyway. We all know that.

And the guy didn't own her with his bullshit. Just because he had the last word doesn't mean he stumped her.

The thing I like about AOC is she shakes things up.  The fact that a lot of young women in color are moving in on the good ole boys club is a good thing.  Do I agree with everything she says...no.  But I like that some real diversity is showing up in Congress.  That's what it takes to make sure that all sorts of different people are represented and not the token few.

Can't change things with clones that have ruled for years and years...time to add some new blood.

As a guy who's often accused of being racist, sexist, and so on, I completely agree with you.  It seems to me that a big part of the reason some groups are as I say "screechy" is that they feel they aren't represented in the power infrastructure.  If there is more diversity in the government, then maybe some of that background noise will dissipate, and we can have sane discussions about other issues, like the shit state of the American school system, the best ways to provide jobs, and how to prevent our grandchildren from being slaves to China.

recently 'one of us' posted the following video, but it was cut short the scene in question has a member of the commity handing her her ass making her whole line of questioning look trivial and stupid.





starts at 5:00 right when the other craps out

I like what she said more, but I have to agree that without this comment, some of what she said is definitely out of context.  Because she was definitely using that man's article in support of her narrative.  That being said, I wouldn't say it's accurate that she was "owned."  In general, I think candidates' ability to generate income from special interest groups is quite a serious problem-- and I'd think that most Republicans would agree that inviting monetary corruption into the white house is not a good thing.

As for OAC, mainly I like the idea of people who grew up in the computer age running the country.  I mean. . . if you're a politician and you use a flip phone, you're doing it wrong!  The world is changing very quickly now, and I don't think that most older politicians have any idea what the heck is going on, to be honest.

Stand her up next to Trump or Hillary, and for me it's no-contest.

My sense isn't that he was in opposition to her, exactly, but rather that since he wrote the article she cited, he wanted to make sure that his own ideas weren't misrepresented.  Certainly, the media did some injustice in letting her quote his work, and then not including his response with it-- I'd say that context was important.

That's the problem with white people-- they all look the same!
