Right now, I'm seeing a lot more people speaking truth to power, but none like AOC. She's leaving no elephant in the room unacknowledged.

For those who think this was an insignificant stunt, remember that no one else has been really speaking this clearly and pointedly about the President's ability to abuse power as he pleases and making that a topic in itself, and that her "stunt" is a matter of congressional record.

Pointing out real problems doesn't mean she has real solutions.

Yeah, she should just shut up then. Brilliant, Loren.

Doesn't mean she doesn't have real solutions either.

Uh oh. Looks like some interns are going to be without a job soon.

Dude, its called stare rape. Get with the program.

Yeah! As soon as we get rid of airplanes and farting cows, and ensure economic security for those unwilling to work, everything will be great.

So...

there was a doctored video in which her Firing Line interview was quote mined and butchered to make her sound incoherent and stupid, but the specific part of the interview where she talked about the Occupation of Palestine wasn't included, so that means she lied about the video being doctored? And that means she's anti-Semitic?

She doesn't need a ' doctored video" to make her sound stupid and incoherent. She's quite capable of doing that all by herself!

I heard her in an interview on NPR and was quite impressed. She needs to earn some House cred and get a fuller understanding of the job, but for someone just starting out... and out of the blue, she sounded extremely intelligent. At least as far as describing a good picture. Now she needs to learn how to get the picture painted. If she does, this person is going to be a force. She already understands the diplomatic game, siding with Pelosi.

Something that would truly expose her for the nicanpoop she is would be some hard questions from the mainstream media, not their swooning over her stupidity!

Man, you’ve seriously bought the right wing media farm.

You pointing out that she may not have solutions also doesn't provide any solutions. So...bye?

I don't know whether she has "real solutions" (whatever that means) or not and apparently neither do you nor LP because there is no evidence for your posts that either of you have a realistic understanding of her position,

 

[RavenSky]

Alexandria is a genuine actual salt of the earth regular person who found her way into this position. She is going to not know some stuff, and she is bringing a fresh perspective and is going to think outside the box. She is a likely source of new ideas and solutions, that can then be examined and vetted by others. They won't all be sensible or good ideas, and they shouldn't all be implemented.

I am glad she isn't president with unilateral or huge influence to make anything law, but as one and many of her peers, she is in an ideal position. We need more like her; Congress people or senators not fabricated by the system.

For a change, I agree with you

There is not much to understand. Things like "economic security for those unwilling to work" etc. are there in black and white.

 

[RavenSky]

I find it utterly amazing the level of attention and vitriol a neophyte member of the House of Representatives is receiving. AOC has virtually no power to cause any change at this time. What are all of these people afraid of?

She's nutty enough she provides a convenient target for the right to attack. Hence lots of news coverage.

There is nothing "nutty" about her

Apparently way too many conservative snowflakes are wildly triggered by an attractive articulate young woman. They are the ones that are 'nutty"

Everyone here should watch this 5 minute clip where she easily points out, without even having to use analogies, just a simple hypothetical, just how broken our system is.

This is so awesome! (And I adore Walter Shaub, too!)

Articulate, naive, very stupid and lives in la la land along with Bernie [print more money] Sanders!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "It’s pretty wild that the GOP can’t decide whether they’re going to run with the conspiracy theory that I’m secretly rich, or the exaggeration & mockery of my family’s struggle after my dad died during the financial crisis. Instead, they decide to defy logic and run with both."

They want to win at whatever the cost, even if the cost is contradicting themselves.
