    I don’t know why people love her so much, all she does is perpetuate this shitty style of politics. Why can’t they talk like grown-ups?

        You say that like this doesn’t. She’s not teaching them a lesson or anything, she’s just engaging them on their level.

        What it does do that’s good is get people who are sick of the crazies engaged in the situation instead of just ignoring it.

            I absolutely fucking hate it that it has to be like this, but there it is. Imagine being a lightning rod for all that weaponized ignorance and mental illness. It’s an unpleasant, stinky task, but if somebody’s gotta do it, I’m glad people of character and caliber like AOC are out there doing it.

          Yea that’s what we need. We’ve been getting cucked hard because we play by the rules and refuse to stoop to their level. Meanwhile they just do and say whatever the fuck they want and get away with it. Fuck em, we didn’t beat the nazis by playing nice. Get in there and call them out and use their tricks.

      I wouldn’t consider myself a progressive but AOC is the best among her peers when it comes to messaging with younger Americans. Perhaps this is the future of politics. Maybe it’s just a phase. Regardless, she’s good at it

      For what it’s worth, she’s pretty good at cutting through the noise and explaining issues in an accessible way. There ARE moments like this but she seems to do good for her constituents. I don’t live in the area and I don’t know that much about her, but that’s the feeling I got

      Ummm… Have you looked at the right? This is tryouts for a minor league team in comparison.
