Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Some of the comments are amusing. Someone in the second link interpreted "AOC" as "Always Obtuse Commie", and someone else there showed the face of a horse along her face. In the first link, some of the commenters called her "OCrazio Cortezuela", "Occasional Cortex", "Airhead Occupies Congress", "A O Kotex", and the Dancing Barmaid, and made jokes about how dumb she supposedly is, like

Why did AOC stare at the orange juice can for hours?
It said “concentrate”.

Is this the same AOC who waited over two hours in a Subway Restaurant for a train that never came?

"Bread goes in. Toast comes out. But where does the bread go?"

Although it certainly is a poison. As always, the dose is critical.

A CO₂ level above 10% in air is deadly.

Currently the atmosphere contains about 0.041%, up from 0.028% two hundred years ago.

The idea that a substance can be bad for the climate at the same time that it is good for plants and non-toxic to humans is not a particularly difficult one to grasp.

Quite an effective method for detecting a moron is to see whether they think the non-sequitur: "Carbon dioxide is good for plants, therefore it cannot be bad for the environment" is in any way convincing.

Anyone who is so bad at thinking as to consider this argument worthy, is too dumb to be taken seriously on any issue.

Could you please Professor bilby please point to any of my posts where I said that? I may have pointed out that CO2 is essential as food for plants, or that in the past CO2 was perhaps 1200PPM, many times more than your 10%, as compared to the minute trace gas in the atmosphere that it is today.

You are actually complaining about being taken out of context... after you took Ocasio Cortez well out of context?

What's so "loony tunes" about it? That it does not involve huge subsidies to fossil-fuel companies? Oops, tax breaks. It's tax breaks when it's for fossil fuels and subsidies when it's for renewable energy, right?

Fossil fuels are hardly ever subsided. It's renewables that require subsidies for the foreseeable future.

Knock Down the House Follows Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Unlikely Victory | Vanity Fair

In one of the film’s most galvanizing moments, Ocasio-Cortez shows up to a debate in Parkchester, but Crowley sends a pinch hitter—former councilwoman Annabel Palma, who is supposed to argue on his behalf. Ocasio-Cortez—a petite, loud woman—wipes the floor with her opponent, turning Crowley’s absence into the only talking point of the debate. In a later scene, Ocasio-Cortez takes on Crowley himself in a televised debate on local news. She’s surrounded by reams of paper and wielding a highlighter, studying talking points like she’s cramming for a test. She pauses to reel off affirmations: “I can do this. I am experienced enough to do this. I am knowledgeable enough to do this. I am prepared enough to do this. I am mature enough to do this. I am brave enough to do this. And this whole thing, this whole time, he’s going to tell me I can’t do this. He’s going to tell me that I’m small, that I’m little, that I’m young, that I’m inexperienced.”

Shows the flip side of the Dunning-Kruger effect -- very competent people tend to underestimate their competence.

As to what Joe Crowley thought, we may never know. He may not have thought that AOC was not much of a threat to him and his apparatchik career.

Knock Down the House Review: A Reminder That AOC’s Triumph Almost Wasn’t - Vogue

A few scenes from Knock Down the House present Ocasio-Cortez’s victory as fated, and that makes sense, given that the film was edited with the knowledge of AOC’s singular result. In one, she describes visiting the United States Capitol with her late father, who told her that, as an American citizen, everything she saw was “hers.” Other glimpses of her childhood in archival footage show her as a precocious adolescent, nerdy and curious.

... AOC herself doesn’t think she’ll win—she and partner Riley Roberts walk together in the Bronx, as he tells her, “We did the best we could do,” before, having received word, the two literally sprint to the bar. “That’s me on the poster!” she exclaims to a bouncer who stops her before she can enter, to find out that she all but certainly will become the youngest woman ever to serve in Congress. It was hilarious and emotional to discover that she, too, was running to her party, as what had seemed like a pipe dream became reality, just like that.

... “The fundamental question, in the beginning, is, ‘Why you?” Ocasio-Cortez says in front of the camera, long before she even gets on the ballot in April 2018. “The reason ‘why’ was cause, nobody else would. So literally anybody could, right? Because the alternative is no one.”

Even so, she won by only 15%, and the other candidates documented in KDtH all lost. She was the only winner of the candidates selected by the Justice Democrats, though some of the candidates supported by the JD's did win.

Behind the scenes with Ocasio-Cortez in new Netflix documentary 'Knock Down the House'

A new documentary shows how she'd go downstairs to the restaurant's basement and lean into a giant ice machine to scoop cubes into a bucket before hauling them back upstairs — and the then-27-year-old was well aware of how ridiculous it all looked.

"If I were, like, a normal, rational person, I would have dropped out this race a long time ago," Ocasio-Cortez says in the feature-length documentary, "Knock Down the House," set to premiere on Netflix and in select theaters on Wednesday.

"People don't see waitresses as having a quote-un-quote real job, but my experience in hospitality has prepared me so well for this race: I'm used to being on my feet 18 hours a day. I'm used to receiving a lot of heat. I'm used to people trying to make me feel bad," she added.

Her opponent Joe Crowley? He was "campaigning from inside his kingdom," as AOC put it.

Days later, sitting outside the Capitol with tears streaming down her face, she recalls how her father once took her to Washington and said, "This all belongs to us. It's our government...All of this stuff is yours."

Then she hopped on an electric scooter with her boyfriend and tooled around the plaza behind the Capitol, a giant smile plastered to her face

Joe Crowley had dirt on Ocasio-Cortez – but was too confident to use it

An overconfident Joe Crowley opted against using negative ammunition against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez because he believed that he had the Democratic primary locked up and didn’t want to look weak in a race he was expected to walk away with.

...
One piece of dirt Crowley decided against using was questionable financing practices of Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign — which a source said Crowley aides knew about before they became public this year .

He cooked his goose with his debate no-show.

As he thinks that 1,200ppm is more than 10%, I remain glad that I have him on ignore. (For the record, 10% is 100,000ppm).

The math and science portions of my brain just turn off when reading angelo's posts to protect from virus corruption. Yeah... 1200 ppm... 10%...1200 parts per million. That'd be 1,200 / 1,000,000. We can simplify that... 1.2 / 1,000. And if we use an angelo approved calculator we get 1.2 / 1,000 > 10%.

Though, just for the record, my brain says 1.2 / 1,000 = .0012... which would be 0.12%. And if my liberal indoctrinated elementary arithmetic is accurate, 0.12% << 10%.

I'm not certain how many times angelo has to be wrong, before he steps back and thinks... umm... maybe I need to read a book or something.

What anti-business victimhood. Just like how the right wing reacted to Google management firing employee James Damore. Also how they reacted to Alex Jones getting banned from a lot of social-media sites last year.

Tlaib and Omar are very strongly anti-Israel. And I suspect strongly that both would be very supportive of KSA (just like they are of Iran) if current Saudi policy toward Israel was more like that of King Faisal.
