You mean "have to love terrified white men who support dozens of old white men who know enough about the three branches of government to systematically fuck the country while selling it out to our worst enemies".

Don't be fatuous, Kyle.

By who exactly?  She is certainly a magnet for attack. But thats because the GOP just can't help but be racist and sexist. 

She will learn the ropes and do fine. She hasn't even started yet.

Aside from a 2nd Trump term, the last thing we need now is a leader who's too careless or disinterested in the facts to let them get in the way of their rhetoric.  We need blocking and tackling: truth, justice, and the American way.  Get back to basics (not to be confused with MAGA).  I do not trust that AOC is that person, at least not at this point in her career.

The idea that the GOP has a long game is amusing.  

True.  

How about:  The GOP just needs a focus for their ire.  In this case, it happens to be the most threatening thing they can think of:  a young woman of color with ideas and twitter game.

She's not a "leader".  She's a junior rep, one of 435.  She has plenty of time to learn the ropes. 

Let's be really honest here:  the right wing is terrified that young brown liberal women are getting elected.  That's it.  It's the height of hypocrisy to parse her simple gaffe (see "57") while letting Trump and his merry band of traitors trample all over everything that once made this country great.

I can only hope we elect hundreds more of her.  Fuck the right.

Nope, she's THE leader of the Democratic Party in the minds of every single Republican and Fox News tard.

She might not even be the most progressive freshman Democrat, just one of a handful (Taalib, Pressley, Omar, Haaland)

She is perfect to play to the Fox News crowd, because, putting aside that she’s young, brown, and has ovaries, when she plays to her base, she generates the kinds of sound bites that FNC can endlessly run on their tickers and in their interviews.  

It’s going to be fun seeing her trigger the FNC crowd once January kicks in.  We just think they are triggered now.  

They might as well give Tucker and Sean contract extensions.

100% of FOXNews Viewers: "Alexandria Occasio-Cortez is the leader of the Democratic Party!"

75% of Democrats in America: "Who?"

Yeah....pretty much this.  She's a generic freshman rep -- largely inconsequential.  I'm genuinely kinda flummoxed by why she's been annointed the standard-bearer of all things Democrat by the GOP.

I mean, if that's the way this goes -- the opposition can annoint a specific rep, regardless of power or seniority, as THE face of the party...then rep. Steve King of Iowa is THE face of the GOP.  Right?  I mean, there's a LOT more justification to annoint a 3rd term rep as the face of his party than a freshman, right?

But keep on keepin' on.  I'll continue to see her as a mildly interesting and amusing figure, and that's about it.  We'll find out how much of a congresswoman she actually is after a few years.

Freshman rep.

Who upset an incumbent Democrat

In a left-leaning NYC district

 

That's boring.  She's a voice but she shouldn't be any more important than any number of left-leaning Democrats who upset Republican incumbents in suburban districts. I mean, Katie Porter is an Elizabeth Warren protégé, took out a Republican stalwart in Orange County and gets no hate?  Weaksauce.

Negged for pushing a distortion. She mispoke by using the word branches, but she was talking about what could be taken over through elections. It's obvious. She wasn't asked to name the three branches of government nor was she trying to. 

Work on intellectual honesty. Stop being a lying/obfuscating amateur political operatives. The professionals at least get paid to destroy their integrity.

I really haven't followed her at all, but the attention from the GOPs has me curious about her. If she looks like the person she actually is, she seems like a good one. Her heart is in the right place, but I don't know enough about the substance to have much of an opinion about her politics.

I'm amused that this is the person the right has chosen tear apart. Ebil socialist. Toopid woman. Hates America. It's seems to be a political error to have her face hanging next to Hannity's as he rattles the cages of the aging demographic they attract.

The most perplexing thing about this lady is that I still don't understand why I need to give two shits and piss spasm spritz about the 14th Congressional District in New York.  Sorry, I don't don't give a fuck about The Bronx.  Fuck you, The Bronx.  Gettin' real tired of your shit, The Bronx.  Who am I to say that?  Someone who doesn't live in the fucking Bronx.

Deserved. I noticed it after the edit window closed. The grammar SWAT team is busting through the door. I hope they don't hurts me to much.

If they yell "stop resisting" before they even get the door frame busted apart then you know that ... well, ouch.  You're fucked.

Flummoxed?

Well, she was anointed—maybe not of all things Democrat—but nevertheless anointed, but it wasn’t by the GOP. Who then, exactly? It was none other than DNC chair, Tom Perez, who called her “the future of our party.” He singled her out as the ‘future’, thereby putting a face to a not insignificant movement within their party. And his statement gave her immediate national recognition, so much so that other far-left winners were barely noticed.

So in this case the GOP didn’t have to manufacture a bogeyman…Perez gave them one on a silver platter.

If you google "tom perez alexandria ocasio cortez," the entire front page of results are conservative websites.  Saying that a 28 year-old "represents the future" (and that first word is conveniently left out of your quote) of anything is not a controversial statement unless you're really trying to manufacture a controversy or don't understand how time works.

I love his "have to love affirmative action" line. As if she was just handed the job because of being a woman or a latina. She primaried a long tenured incumbent and then won the general election. She earned her spot.

But by all means continue pushing a false (not to mention stupid) narrative.

lol a 28 year old is the future?

Oh my god, no way.  I believe there was even a song about such a thing.  "I believe the children are our future."   God, what retard anointed them the future.

I wasn’t questioning the accuracy or motives of Perez’s statement when he said “she represents the future of our party.” Whether he was referring to her age, her ideals, her ethnicity—or all of those—is not the point. The point is that she has far-left views and out of all the left, far-left politicians that won, he singled her out. She was specifically named as a representative of the party’s future and, as such, is going to be a focal point both for praise (see Surly) and criticism (somewhere not Surly).

By calling national attention to Cortez, Perez gave the GOP the ideal political focal point.  `

Thanks for the clarification. Now, was this clarification is response to something I said? If so, a quote would be helpful.

He was asked about her. He didn't bring her up spontaneously.

You guys are obsessed and it's sad.

This is bullshit, as has been pointed out. She is a random local politician who won a longshot primary against a member of the leadership and represents a new generation. AOC got national attention for being a 20-something bartender who beat Joe Crowley, not because of anything a party functionary says.

National party chairs don't annoint shit. If they did, Jeb Bush would have been the GOP nominee in 2016.

I get it. Young women terrify you. But I will let you in on a little secret. You may want to sit down first. Women have been roughly 50% of this country since its founding.  And luckily for you, they are nicer than men. Wars are all started by and fought by men.  They are gonna save us from shitbags like you just like they rebuilt Europe after men decided to kill themselves off by the 10s of millions. Maybe this time you should let them do it before going on the 10s of millions dieing spree. 

It is no coincidence that the biggest period of economic growth in world history occurred with a massive gender gap in favor of women.

JFC.  Love the people who support the self-proclaimed Tariff Man who has no fucking clue how tariffs work but yet is imposing them on all of us, criticizing the knowledge of a 28-year-old first  year representative.


What about those of us who think they are both loons? Can we stay?
