Lpetrich, did you hear that? Now's your chance!

AOC is not his dream girl anymore, apparently. I think he's still pining for that Kat <some gibberishy last name> chick who was defeated.

What is it with you guys and caring about whether or not someone has a "gibberish last name"? It's pretty weird.

This is who I was talking about. Would you remember it off the top of your head yourself?

Who cares if I would or wouldn't? Why are you acting like it's some character flaw to have an unfamiliar last name?

You are the one who suggested that it a character flaw to admit not remembering the complicated name of an unimportant person from the news.

No, I think it's a character flaw to care about what someone's last name is.

No, I think it's a character flaw to care about what someone's last name is.

Which is not what he said. He just didn't remember it and didn't care enough to do the research.

Overall, it sounds like the Dems are coming around to a more moderate position on the stupid things they've said and done, most of which has come from young idealists who had no clue as to how the political game is played both in the U.S. and overseas.

The question is if it's too late. I hope not.

Off topic: Hey AOC, if you're looking for an older guy with a sweet dad-bod, I'm always here if you need me.

Well I think you all are vastly overestimating the amount of brain power it would take to remember the name.

You forgot the most important AOC news. She broke up with her long term boyfriend and has freezed her eggs. Now comes the onslaught of Republican men who desparately want to date her!

I checked that, and that is indeed correct.

AOC and College Sweetheart Riley Roberts ‘Quietly Ended’ Engagement: Report
and
AOC Shares Why She Decided to Freeze Her Eggs Despite Political ‘Risk’ - she's been Instagramming about that for the last few days. She's now at the part where her ovaries are being treated to release lots of eggs.

That's so she can have children later in life when her ovaries become less reliable in releasing eggs and eventually stop.

How Many Eggs Do You Have? At Birth, Age 30, 40, More and How Many Eggs Does a Woman Have? | IVF Fertility Clinic | The Evewell

• Initial supply: 6 million
• At birth: 1 to 2 million
• At puberty: 300 to 400 thousand
• At 30: ~75 thousand
• At 37: ~25 thousand
• At 40: ~18 thousand
• At menopause (~ 51): 100

From these numbers, AOC made a good decision to freeze her eggs. Better late than never.

AOC Says Trump’s Communism Warnings Are ‘Very Silly’: ‘We Can’t Even Raise the Minimum Wage’ - “Communism is the single greatest threat to our country in its history, including even World War I and World War II, Pearl Harbor, 9/11,” Trump claimed on Wednesday, July 22

Totally absurd. The biggest threat to the US was the split over slavery, which led to the Civil War, and the next biggest the War of 1812.

Acyn on X: a reporter asking AOC about Communism / X

Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism?

AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care.

So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.

AOC: “They want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, then they’re going to realize they deserve better.”

AOC Shuts Down Fox Producer Who Confronts Her About Refusing to Go on Jesse Watters' Show

(Fox producer) "Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show."

AOC replies, "He has sexualized and harassed me on his show."

The producer then contests her claim, saying, "That's not true," but AOC fires back.

"He accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller," she says. "So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman?"

While resharing the clip, AOC wrote on X, "You can either be a pervert or ask me to be on your little show. Not both. Good luck!"

AOC: “They want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, then they’re going to realize they deserve better.”

She is again ignoring the fact that DSA has explicitly Marxist positions in their Constitution, and that politicians like Mamdani have expressed Marxist ideas like his end goal being to "win socialism" by "seizing the means of production".

 

[Derec]

I checked that, and that is indeed correct.

As I said before, now's your chance. Unless you have moved your affections to Katmander by now.

From these numbers, AOC made a good decision to freeze her eggs. Better late than never.

Depends on her time horizon. I guess if she had married Riley (I wonder why they why they broke up?) she might have tried to get pregnant naturally by now. But if she wants to do her political career before she gets pregnant, that could take a while.
People are talking about her for presidency, but congressman --> president is too high a quantum leap in the modern era. So if she primaries Schumer in 2028 and runs for president in 2032, she is looking at having kids in her 50s. And who wants to change diapers at that age, or deal with teenagers in their 60s?

 

[Derec]

Well I think you all are vastly overestimating the amount of brain power it would take to remember the name.

Unless you are already familiar with that name structure, it definitely takes much more brain power because the syllables and their arrangement is unusual.

Since she referred to herself as a Pokemon, maybe Katmander (Katizard if she had been elected) would be fitting ...

Poor Derec has taken himself out of the running.

I know my limits. Dating Latinas is expert level.
