What does 'AOC' stand for?

Btw, where was she when this was happening?

Ah, didn't even occur to me 'AOC' is her initials.

Now what about this: 5 Things Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t want you to know about the Green New Deal

Isn't AOC herself a perfect hipster, swaggering with cool-sounding edgy retro concepts ("socialism"!) without any obvious clue regarding how exactly these concepts could work in actual reality?


Global warming is real and far scarier than most people think (I have seen with my eyes melted glaciers and formerly inhabited Pacific atolls now covered by the ocean), but all these measures are very literally spitting in the ocean. The only way to stop the ecological catastrophe is to drastically decrease the global human population.

It worked for Trump. Never double back and explain ideas, just keep spouting nonsense that gets opponents all riled up and energizes the base. I suspect this is why r/conservative and r/Donald fears her so much. She uses many of the same playbook moves that Trump used and it's working to keep her in the spot light. She is what 27(?) so that means election 2028 watch out LOL.

The current behavior of media is to feed off click-bait to get ratings. Eyeballs are advertising funds. Anything that is middle ground or reasonable loses to coverage of things that generate emotion whether good or bad. It doesn't matter if the media is praising or condemning. They are thrusting someone into the spot light, and extending more power to a Freshman Congress member than they should normally have.

That first part, may or may not be true but it’s pretty difficult to judge.

That last sentence is patently false. There are many things that can and perhaps need to be done aside from simply eliminating people.

She will be with us until 2060s. She is a Democrat from NY, she would never lose. I don't think the Ds would primary her out.

Outrage! Outrage! Outrage!
Which literally didn't happen. Some guy on Twitter with 3 followers posted that AOC dancing video, and the mainstream media ran with the headline that Republicans are outraged.... except the fact that literally no republicans were outraged.
