Her fame now is a direct result of how much space she's taking in your head and dumb threads like this being your outlet.

You need to get over it. She’s a public figure now, and will be judged by her words and actions just like *any* other public figure is.

How many threads have you CD Conservatives started about every other Freshman Rep vs AOC? I'd easily bet it's 20:1.

It's not the liberals starting these threads or covering her every move. There are a dozen other newcomers to Congress. Do they not have any opinions our thoughts on policies in America? You don't know bc there's no room in your head to think about it bc AOC has set up permanent camp there.

You certainly seem greatly affected by this. Maybe so affected that you don’t realize how juvenile and petulant you sound. Grow up, Eddie. Either learn some coping skills and accept that people have widely varying opinions, or stop reading this forum.

Like that somehow makes his post untrue? You're are still hyper focused on a freshman rep, even co-signing a nonsense thread about her not getting a post that freshmen don't normally get.

I don't remember posting a thread about the snowflake that has the lefts panties in a twist and not even this one is about her specifically being singled out. If the facts hurt, do like Nancy, and don't listen to them.

Id rather not have any temporary power junkie making decisions for me and they are all temporary. How many congress persons have any skin in your game or are held accountable for the negative outcomes of their bills, schemes, laws, etc. while in or out of office?
The biggest setback any of them suffer is a loss of power if not re-elected, but shed no tears they can always turn lobbyist, consultant, media pundit.
OC isnt any more or less qualified than the next, unless you believe DC is populated with experts or altruists. (and there is plenty of evidence showing that is simply not the case). Besides large scale grifting, what skill set does a Pelosi or McConnell have?

Lol... now the backtracking begins. This thread isn't specifically about AOC despite your thread title specifically saying that she was slapped down? Including Tlaib doesn't change the fact that you've narrowed your focus down to very specific people vs covering the whole progressive movement, freshmen reps in general, or any other broader scope that you could plausibly use for cover.
