    I hope Netflix releases this to my queue soon so I can talk about it intelligently.

    Meanwhile...
    Yeah hoping to be able to watch it soon. 

    And maybe this thread can go past the pointless posts above yours.

    I appreciate comedic takes no matter the party, but i didn't find that funny at all.

    Why wasn't this posted in the AOC thread?  She doesn't need another...

    This isn't only about AOC? 

    Did you watch the trailer?

    No I didn't.  I guess I should.

    What's funny is I saw AOC in the title and this very thing has been a topic of discussion with me.

    People, writers, conservatives, dems, etc. use her name to get noticed, clicks, reads, whatever.

    That girls name invokes a conversation whether it's positive or not, everyone has an opinion on her.

    You put AOC in the title because it gets your thread attention.  Take it out and i wouldn't have cared less.

    Crazy right?

    She is a polarizing figure. That’s for sure.

    Just watched this - it is excellent. And I think that everyone should give it a watch, even if they don't like AOC or any of these young progressives coming up. It is a very real view of grassroots politics at the micro and personal level (and it is indeed about several women who ran in 2018, not just AOC).

    The politicians on this doc actually do not suck. Give it a shot, maybe you'll feel inspired or something.

    Brian, it is a Netflix production I believe. It is on Netflix now. :)

    :lol: Sorry Brian, PJ was much less satirical than I might have been. Hope you watch it soon, on Netflix, which produced it. 

    And it follows 4 women who ran in 2018, not just AOC.

    I think you came to this conclusion before even watching the trailer.

    It's far from boring, but you do what you want.

    I've been watching like 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there. Hard to keep my attention when there's so much stuff on Netflix I'd rather watch, but I'll finish it eventually. AOC's rise to winning that primary is pretty interesting. The rest...not so much.

    Does it talk about the sperpac that actually backed her?  There is a lot of talk about her not being owned by anyone where in fact people did help fund her. New Consensus I believe?

    we have only had netflix and no cable for years. we don't watch a ton of tv, but netflix has more than enough good programming to justify getting rid of cable. only thing I miss is the sports. but not enough to throw away $80 a month.
