The poor little socialist idiot has to take time off for self help before she’s even been sworn in to Congress.
The irony of this complaint is mind-boggling. Trump, golf?

So I’ll ask once again: why would response to her social media posts be any different to the response that Trump receives?
Because they defend Trump for all that ridiculous tweeting and his position in DC is far higher than hers on the food chain at the moment.

So, Fox News and their followers think Trump tweeting bomb threats to foreign countries and attacking Saturday Night Live for being "mean" to him is "winning" but a young woman about to enter Congress lamenting the struggles of people who are less fortunate to be able to take time off and take care of themselves is her being a whiny, socialist, liberal, commie, triggered, crybaby, snowflake.

Or something like that.

And progressives defend AOC with the same vehement loyalty now. We are literally arguing two sides of the same coin, which is my entire point: Trump AND AOC are both extremely vocal on social media, and it really fires up their detractors. One is not at all any different than the other, therefore everyone really ought to just shut over the topic of who is picking on who.

She hasn't been sworn in yet. So she's not on the payroll. Who cares...well, except you and the Ocasio-Cortez bashers.

You folks need a new hobby.

Why do you even care? Do you realize how stupid this sounds? So many people following this woman's every waking moment, they all need to have their heads examined.

Right ... except AOC is the one making a public proclamation of how exhausted and poorly-fed she is and how she needs a break. Those are words from her own mouth. She made them in a public forum, and the public shall reply as is the norm. She began this, not Fox, or Republicans.

I'm looking forward to this.
It is a fascinating dynamic.

I know right? She is one of 435 and not even on the job yet. I personally think Devin Nunez is a rat turd but I don't spend my day obsessing over him.

If Trump was tweeting about how himself and other members of his socioeconomic group struggle to find time to take off because they are workaholics (assuming he actually, you know, was one) I would find that an interesting conversation starter because a good many people in the circles Trump would like to travel and and sometimes is allowed to DO work too much and could use some time unplugged from the corporate world.

So, while I may not want AOC to whine on social media, I do not think the core issue she was discussing lacks merit.

Hell, sometimes, the core issues Trump is trying (poorly, most of the time) to discuss also do not lack merit.
