i mean how did people view Chris Christie etc on the opposite side of the political system?
But I also think it’s weak sauce to claim that anyone that disagrees with a female politician is just doing so cause it’s a she. I find Bernie more annoying that AOC, But I still find her annoying too! Lots of annoying politicians though.
Shes 1 of 435 and most likely doesn’t represent any of us posting. Why the kerfluffle, then?
what other politicians do you find annoying? Of the lots?
or, it could be that she is a polarizing figure, got a ton of media attention because of who she beat, and how, and her background. waitress to congress.
no, it can't be any of that.
this thread is about AOC, not anyone else, so your deflection has zero to do with the topic.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

she is gorgeous. but that has nothing to do with my opinion of her.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

I really don't see how it can be read any way other than what was described by that Fox article.
"Alabama lawmakers are making all abortions a felony punishable w jailtime, incl women victimized by rape+incest."
She is clearly saying women who are rape victims will be punished, she mentions women and not "cases of rape" as she later claimed. And instead of admitting she was wrong, she's blaming the character limits on twitter. At the very least it was extremely poorly worded, take the blame for that at least.Post edited by mace1229 on0 -

now, i should quantify, i haven't watched many videos of her until today. i found her brash and annoying on social media (which i did mention in my original assessment), but watching her on the floor, i do admire her tenacity and how well she knows the issues. and the videos i have watched (only a couple) she has been level headed but challenging.

Here's the thing I've decided about her. While she may have the direction right, she is terrible at details, either intentionally or intentionally.
1. When Amazon pulled back from NYC, she declared that the taxpayers were saved 3 billion. This was false. Amazon was to receive a subsidy.
2. Yesterday, she rightly called out Merck on truvada prices, but declared they had 2 billion in profits. No, they had 2 billion in revenue. Big difference.
3. Now this
I don't know if she and her staff don't monitor details or choose to embellish. Either way, it hurts her credibility.0 -

She never mentions the doctors. That's an important detail.0

of course being a woman is part of the package, just Obama being black was part of the package as well, but it seems as though some suggest, actually I think have actually stated, that her gender is the ENTIRE reason, which I think is false.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -
