Why DO you or why DONT you bash AOC?

Why DO you or why DONT you bash AOC?

She is young and dumb and I feel sorry for her. I remember being young and dumb.

But I hate what she is helping to do to America.

I hate that she is so alarmingly attractive to so many people.

And I believe Rush is right when he says Pelosi will some day knock her off her pedestal.

I am sad for this dumb young Woman, but I'd be glad to have her discredited in the eyes of her supporters.

You?

She was elected by the people and represents her constituency. She is young, but don't pretend she is dumb. She is well spoken and her words carry weight with those she represents, and those who understand that the wealth inequity in the United States is unhealthy (for people and the economy)

When last the wealth inequality was this wide, the Roaring 20's became the precursor of the Great Depression.

AOC

The only member of Congress know by just her initials

Just like FDR, JFK, LBJ, MLK......

 

[Rustic]

AOC is young. She is intelligent...she is enthusiastic.

That said...she's a first term Congressperson. Breathe people

She has some interesting ideas which should start some interesting conversations.

Conversations that are long over due

 

[Rustic]

Imagine supporting universal healthcare, a clean environment, low cost education

AOC must be crazy

Lol
Who pays for it? You do realize there’s not enough money in the world for that?

Of course there is

Most industrialized nations provide it
But they don’t slash taxes on billionaires

Lol
Your ideas are pie in the sky

AOC is intelligent and sexy as all hell

Why would anyone oppose her?

This from the left's brain trust.

AOC is smart, real smart, Yuge Brain
Went to Boston College, graduated at the top of her class, only smart people go toBiston College
She got a Bachelors in Economics ....just like our beloved President

If only conservatives knew the definition of “socialism “.

Rustic's effort to bury my comment with foolish posts require I repeat a prior post:

The "J" Curve* was in evidence last November, the GOP needs to think about this.

* "J curve" theory of political revolutions, seeks to explain the rise ofrevolutionary movements in terms of rising individual expectations and falling levels of perceived well-being.

Dumb ? Dumb like a fox. Cons just make up lies about her . That’s there MO.

I love how she freaks out Conservatives and she brings a fresh young energy to the Dems . Which freaks out the old guard .

AOC, "People are working 100 hours a week and still can't feed their kids"

The fillings in my teeth are smarter enough to know that's not true

I just think she is young and naive and has no real idea how life in the real world really works.

The tribes bash each other out of pure reflexive impulse now. It appears to be the first behavior that pops to mind.

That doesn't make any of it true, of course, but I don't think honesty or accuracy are particular priorities at this point.

I would agree with you, except for AOC.
She is the progressive/radical American left poster child.
She does not share the same goals as you and I.
Liberal or Conservative, the vast middle ground of America shares the same fundamental goals. Something those of us who are mostly straight shooters wish we would talk more about.
The progressive left does not share our goals. They do not want America to succeed. They want to instead transform America into something very, very different than the majority of the rest of us want.
So, on this, I disagree with you.

The progressive left wants medicare for all -- and apparently, not only a majority of Americans, but even a majority of republicans want it too...

So speak for yourself when you claim progressives don't want what "WE" want.....another thing "WE" don't want is a system that results in the top 1% of people owning more wealth than the bottom 90% of Americans and CEO's making over 300 times more than their average employer despite worker productivity being at historic highs

Pick cherries often?

My only suggestion (not that you asked for it!) would be to look at her as a symptom rather than a target. Mocking her and making fun of her is fine, that's what we do nowadays. But it appears she does represent a growing part of our society, and her opponents will need to come up with something more than just mockery.

Unless you think she is NOT a symptom and just a one-off, an aberration. But that seems risky to me.
.

Oh I definitely do not believe she is a one off, rather a dangerous path forger to those like her, and worse.
And I agree simple mockery and mud slinging will do nothing to convince her followers to abandon her ideology. (who actually know very little on what she stands for)
Her path is to fundamentally transform America into a nation of dependents.
Look, my generation produced millennials. We babied them, overly protected them and gave them pretty much whatever they wanted regardless of behavior. They are entering into the world and are VERY much seeking a new parent. Someone to continue to keep protect them from anything that might upset them, provide for them regardless of behavior or value added to the society they want to leech off of.
And to them - AOC looks wonderful.

AOC is an expert at economics, environmental science, and constitutional law. and she's only 30. thats why every single person on the right is scared shitless of her!

Vice President Pence got no reaction from U.S. allies when he mentioned President Trump to U.S. allies at a security conference in Munich.

Said Pence: “I bring greetings from the 45th president of the United States of America, Donald Trump.”

He was met with a lengthy silence.

Pence Met with Silence When He Mentioned Trump

lolol

I just think she is young and naive and has no real idea how life in the real world really works.

She understands her constituency and their struggles

More than most Congressmen

READ: She understands her constituency and know hows to exploit that to gain power. PERIOD.
She is a user. She wants power. It is easy to see. And if you can't - you are blind by your partisanship.

I find it funny as hell that this little woman scares the hell out of the GOP.

If that was the case she wouldn't be purposing alll the crazy unrealistic things she does this stuff she puts out there like the new green deal sounds great on paper and in theroy but the reality is very different.

Again...................you guys don't appear to understand the difference between a NON BINDING RESOLUTION and a bill that is signed into law.

If its a bill that is signed into law, it is something that everyone must follow and adhere to.

If it is a NON BINDING RESOLUTION, then it is a frame work of ideas that they hope are workable, but it is non binding and doesn't have to be followed. This non binding resolution is simply a hope of what they want to accomplish, and a framework to follow, but it is not binding in any way. And, fwiw, Congress has passed quite a few of them.

That is the purpose of elected officials

To advocate for the needs of their constituents
