I have a genuine question for AOC fans

[Pressure]

Link?

To what, that she's having to spend more money on her reelection than she would if she didn't have a high dollar primary challenger?

 

[Warren Moon]

She needs to align with like-minded people in Congress and it is her right to try and remove members she thinks aren't up to their constituents' standards regardless of ethnic background. Just cause your Black doesn't mean you shouldn't be targeted.

the likelihood of them being removed is extremely low. Most districts like their elected officials, especially predominantly black ones.

it’s dumb, she’s making enemies just to make enemies.

my bad, i realized what you meant.

plenty. The CBC doesn’t just sit on their ass. I hate when supposed black voters say this. It just shows they follow headline politics.

I wasn't talking about the CBC as a whole but the individual members that are being targeted. Give some examples of what they have done. Just saying "plenty" isn't an answer.

What was the likelihood she beat Crowley? You have to try and make change and it is usually against the odds. And if she wants them removed they were never going to be allies anyway so . . . .

From the Vox article above

The Washington Post’s Phillip Bump analyzed Fox News segments between January 1 and February 15 of this year, comparing the number of segments mentioning AOC to those focusing on at least one of the Democratic 2020 presidential candidates. It turns out she got more coverage on Fox than any candidate save one, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who is also a right-wing boogeyman. Ocasio-Cortez got significantly more Fox News coverage than fellow democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders.

It’s astonishing that a Democratic backbencher could get this much attention and get so famous at the beginning of her first term. It’s a testament to how much of a phenomenon she is on the Democratic left — and how much the right seems to both hate and fear her.

In an interview with the New Yorker’s David Remnick, AOC characterized all the media attention as exhausting and borderline dangerous.

“I’ve got a full-time job in Congress and then I moonlight as America’s greatest villain, or as the new hope. And it’s pretty tiring,” she said. “This ravenous hysteria — it’s really getting to a level that is kind of out of control.”

R's are really scared of her but is she built to last...

AOC derangement syndrome

 

[Homer Simpson]

She's a fraud. Crying about the stimulus online while voting for it in congress. She also made up some BS reason for why she didn't call to have the votes recorded.

 

[El Bombi]

Sure you are. lol
What did she say about Biden that you interpret as an attack? All Democrats are good Democrats? What did she do action wise toward that effort?
And afterward they made up and she is calling Pelosi Momma bear now.
I'm sure she hase more tweets attacking Republicans.
She's not African American why do you think she should have some allegiance there?

This is all that I needed to read.

 

[Warren Moon]

This is all that I needed to read.

they can’t help themselves

 

[AnonymityX1000]

This is all that I needed to read.

Do you have any allegiance to Latinos, Asians, Arabs/Persians or white people? I'm assuming you both are Black. lol

 

[wire28]

she's been shifting away from being adversarial with other democrats lately

Yeah thread is a few months too late. But what she was doing could be extrapolated out to the rest of the new wave of progressives who keep losing races. Belittling the intelligence and attacking the people you need to vote for you (either directly or indirectly by attacking the people they voted for) is going to fail 9.5 times out of 10.

 

[wire28]

Her national approval rating isn't that high and the right wing news outlets are fixated on her so I assume she'll be their new Hillary/Pelosi.

An anonymous Democratic group leaked a poll that shows swing voters deeply dislike Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the left wing, widening the party's rift

Conservative media’s war on AOC is hammering her poll numbers

Yep, I’ve mentioned that before. From a strategic standpoint it was idiotic to come out like she did. Now she has a built in base that will hate her no matter what for the rest of her career and she is barely starting.
