I am a conservative and I don't hate her. I see her as idealistic, naive, ambitious, attention seeking but well intentioned. I see someone like Adam Schiff as the Democrat who works for forces of evil.

I don't really care about her, tbh. I notice the media shoves her down our throats, but besides that, meh, she just...says things without thinking first. It's her biggest issue she should work on.

But she's spunky and cute, and Dems need that kinda energy. But her views are quite TOO far left for me. (heard she mentioned something about billionaires should be banned or some ish.)

Oh please OP are you really not a Trump supporter? Difficult to believe. Okay spotlight back on the useless lying butt-wipe who is squatting in The Oval Office...Happy now OP?
It is possible to be against Trump and against socialism...believe it or not there's a very large middle ground there.

She is brand new but is acting like she has been a DC staple for decades. Shut up, get in there, do your job, get some experience and then we can talk. The media really needs to back off too.
No... She, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, & Chuckie Schumer, are the voice of the Democrats today, leading to 2020.

Yeah, I know, same with trump, I'm just saying.
Interesting. What do you mean by"way out there in her understanding things." Which statements make you think she's a "dumb****" as you say?

As long as she keeps opening her mouth I doubt that will happen.

The problem with Democrats who don´t like her.. is I dont think you understand how far right the Democratic Party has been pulled. The Democratic Party now is what Republicans in 70-80s are.

She is trying to push the narrative more towards the left again...

You have no idea how your living standards have been reduced compared to other 1st world nations. Workers rights, government working for your, helping you, everything has been compromised by massive funding from ultra right wing donors. So the Republicans have been dragging the narrative towards the right with massive deregulations, less worker rights, and free access to politicians who have to beg for money 3-4 hours each day!!


Trying to listen to Main Street Democrats today is painful.. its like, don´t you understand how regular folks live?
Republicans are even worse.. they think people want even more laissez faire with no help from government.

No, people need help!



You are voting in people, to make life better for you! Not harder.

AOC, is trying together with Bernie Sanders and his grassroots campaign to change the Democratic Party more towards helping the regular Americans.

AOC is the best thing that has happened to the Republican party since, well, Donald Trump. Please keep her front and center!

So logically you conclude AOC should shut up and become like everyone else. Raise money, work to secure corporate investments, and help protect foriegn policy interests abroad.

Sadly none of these things are meant to benefit you.
You are aware 99.9% of what she proposes will not even get out of committee.
