She doesn’t need to shut it. She is just one person. It’s not her fault her voice carries more weight due to the media and GOPers who want to paint her as the leader of the Dems.

LOL, you only say that tripe because you like her politics.

Don't be a part of the problem.

She BSes and talks out of her butt at the same rate as Trump or Schiff.

Too many Trump supporters that make excuses for Trump's BS are now upset by AOC's continuous stream of BS. Fact is, they don't care about truth and accuracy so long as it doesn't get in the way of their party.

You compare her to Trump, which is reasonable - in some ways Trump and AOC are opposite sides of the same coin. However, Trump's media coverage is 90% negative based on studies...hers seems to be mostly positive. Hence she is benefiting from being a liberal female minority...if she didn't check the "right identity boxes" for the media or if she was a Trump supporter - she would be called out continuously for the fool she is by the MSM and she is a fool.
I can’t remember but I thought I read she was whining about being fact checked probably roughly a month ago. Her identity boxes give her a pass... for now... eventually people will tire of her.

Yes, but not like that. Trump and Adam Schiff are the two bad sides of the coin.

AOC is one of the few good people.
Only because she spouts out completely foolish ideas like you do. Doesn’t make her a good one.

According to what the DNC Chair said a few months ago.

She is the future of the Democratic Party.

She's young, she's attractive, the mausoleum that consists of GOP leadership who are still clueless about computers in the 21st century are puzzled what to do about her... she's too fast & heedless & all over Twitter & Instagram & doesn't give a $#@! about Mitch lumbering out of steak lunches with Gucci lobbyists. She's adopted Trumps playbook but adapted it for those not near the median age of death, ie., Republicans.

And Fox News is playing her up the way CNN boosted Trump in his ascendency, not realizing they are added to the allure.

She's a waitress. She's learned her customer service smile very well. Brave New Congress decided washed out Bernie Sanders wasn't going to do. They're working on getting fixes ready. They called her to run. She didn't even decide to run and then seek campaign money...they called her.

I was just going to say the bold. Once Congress gets down to work (does that ever happen?) she'll probably fade a bit.
