    Wtf is she talking about taking pictures of backsides and dark hates light? Because someone mentioned she has nice clothes? Thats misogyny now? 

    Is this what politics has become, fucking tweeter beefs and social media garbage? 

    I wish her luck and thick skin, pushing a Democratic Socialist agenda isn't gonna be easy 
    How many tweets have their been of a newly elected repub man and his wardrobe?
    Context. It has nothing to do with her being a woman, it's about her now public financial issue and the tweeter trying to infer she has money for nice clothes so why cant she afford an apartment, which obviously is silly. Not defending the tweeter at all, just think its ridiculous thst this is news, that we try to make every little thing into some scandal, or label it as quickly as we can as racism, or misogyny, or whatever. 

    Hope she picks her battles better than this moving forward 
    I hope she attacks everyone trying to mock or belittle her. 


    Am i allowed to say i think she is attractive?

    It’s funny,   A Democrat brings thousands of high paying jobs to a city area and people still complain.   Think of all the people who own properties in that area that just became millionaires!   Yes, some were already, but many were not,  why does everything have to be that if it helps 1 rich person it’s bad.  Does anyone realize anything that happens, the rich are going to get richer.  So, ignore the noise and ask yourself - will a lot of less rich be helped by this?   Governor Cuomo seems to think so.  Unless, that is, he’s in on it too!

    You get that people making $125k/yr pay a lot in taxes.  Right?  And what at least in theory can he done  with those tax dollars?     And what about the hardworking janitors and cleaning people and other service industry that will crop up around this new HQ?  Those jobs don’t count because there will be people making more?   (Not to mention all the construction jobs that just got created for the next 5-10 years).

    She’s in over her head.  If she wants to just pay for healthcare, this is how you do it.  Give people jobs with access to healthcare, and collect more taxes to pay for those that don’t.  She reminds me of my nephews and nieces BEFORE they went to college.  Interesting how their views changed once they started working and had real jobs. 

    And not to put words in his mouth, but this is what Jason P is referring to.  She should chase Amazon away so a nice midwestern town can reap the benefits.   

    So, to recount Queens’ newly minted Rep thinks - Jobs bad.  Paying for healthcare easy.  Yes, we get what we deserve indeed.
    Have to admit i pretty much agree with this
    Haha. One of the leftist posters here.
    Yeah, chasing away Amazon and jobs doesn't seem like a great idea to me, call me crazy
    Bending to the will of capitalism is why the US is a banana-republic compared to other countries when it comes to workers rights, minimum wage etc.

    So you are crazy. Or is having the inability to see the full and sane picture of things.
    The US is not even close to a banana republic???
    Ummm, the US HAS ALWAYS worked towards corporate interests. Bullshit wars have been contrived on behalf of corporate America. The term banana republic was coined after such intervention.

    I'm not quite sure if she is or not. I think the media keeps very purposefully only using photos that make her look manic (really she's just an enthusiastic happy person, and they pick the worst possible photos, and it's pissing me off). I'd love to see a photo where she just looks normal, like I'm sure she usually looks, as opposed to where she's in mid-word, mouth gaping, with her eyes popping out of her head. And yes, I do think this is a form of editorial sexism.

    Agreed. There's too much of this:


    And not enough of this:



    She's a young, smart, motivated person with passion for her beliefs. I'm sure I disagree with her on some things, but I do like seeing people engaged, and am impressed that someone under 30, regardless of background, gender, party, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation is stepping up to make a difference.

    If this woman worked in your workplace she'd easily be one of the most beautiful women around and you'd be every bit as aware of it as anyone else.

    This reminds me of The Office, when the whole office debates whether Hilary Swank is "hot or not".  Bunch of Kevin's, Stanleys, and Merediths arguing "hot or not" about someone who is so far out of their league lol

    and once you’ve seen the crazy eyes you know she isn’t worth the trouble :)

    SHE'S GORGEOUS. which, fortunately or unfortunately, goes a long way in politics.
