I absolutely adore this woman. She is perfect as the thought leader of the Democrat Party.

No. She's not any kind of 'thought leader'. AOC is nothing but just another junior Representative who sought attention and got some.

She's just on the other side of the aisle from Michelle Bachmann, who was just like her.

I heard that after hearing that the Lebanese were attacked, AOC tweeted her support for the Lebanese and the entire LGBTQ+ community.

Hezbollah and Israel exchange fire on Lebanese border after days of tension

Lightbulb Shallow Thoughts with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Any y'all ever notice?

Pubs' big strategy for the past quarter century or so:

Pick out a Dem woman to hate on and pound that message of hatred via Fox News and hate radio.

Hillary
Pelosi
Michelle Obama
AOC

Nowadays, they can add Omar, Tlaib, and Pressley to make thier squad of hate objects.

Hating Dem women is the GOP's go-to move.

It ain't called hate radio for nothin'.

I’ll guarantee that most climate deniers on here have not even read a book or article from a reputable source on the severity of man-made global warming. They probably hear small bits of information from the media but have not looked more into it and let it sink in on how much trouble we’re in. I remember I used to be like that too generally ignoring the topic. I didn’t outright deny it because I followed current events but I didn’t look deeper into the problem. Once you do that, then it becomes an eye opener.

Hey OP, I notice you like Youtube. Check out Potholer54.

As loathsome as the Republicans are, and as obvious as their strategy is for their functionally illiterate voting base, it works, and it works because of their even larger strategy of the Dumbing Down of America.

Republicans: Making America Dumb Again.

Not only that, but the disinformation surrounding the science of climate change is fierce. How many times do the scientifically illiterate start bleating about raising your taxes? They feel comfortable with an economic conspiracy argument, because they know absolutely nothing about science.

My bet is that this "ascendancy of the dotards" is past its peak.

A mere speed bump in the history of America.

I, for one, really appreciate AOC. She doesn't represent me, our democrats out here are much more centrist. But boy, for a freshmen rep with very little power, she occupies the mind and attack efforts of the far right jerks of the world in a way few others could. Confident, assertive young women of color are clearly their achilles heel. They fall apart into a blathering puddle of bile in the presence of such women. Let's the rest of us behave like normal dems without much focus on spinning our reasonable policies as pinko commie fodder.

They are too stupid to believe the scientists when Alex jones can give them all the science they need.
