They should just leave her alone, let her sink or swim based on her own political skill (or lack of skill) but they won't. They fear her and what she represents far too much. She has proven to be highly electable and very popular, but yeah, she hasn't actually DONE any meaningful legislative work yet. Give her time. She's a newbie.

+DieChecker Posted January 18, 2019 #252 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I saw that AOC got a committee assignment. I thought I read that Pelosi wasn't going to give her Anything? AOC is the Media's new darling though, and her power is still waxing. While Pelosi seems to be waning. I read several articles where Pelosi is being directly compared to Trump by several left leaning outlets. That comparison can't be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pure BS. I've heard no such thing. The main thing I've read is that she is just ignorant, and economically a dreamer. Young... Female... Hispanic... I've read nothing. Not even from "racist" Trump on twitter. Quote They should just leave her alone, let her sink or swim based on her own political skill (or lack of skill) but they won't. This I agree. Let her sink or swim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is that the left idolizes her not because of her character or merit, but because she fills demographic boxes, because she is a young female Hispanic women. She has little actual qualifications for the position. If she was a middle age white women do you think the media would be in love with her every move? It is just identity politics.

As for aoc, (im lazy) what's wrong with using Bernie's connections to advance her career, or Soros for that matter? Isnt that standard practice in politics? Im sure her taxes are online if you have problems with her funding. As for the messenger, I only shoot to end the suffering.

There's only one actual scandal surrounding Trump. It's the scandal perpetrated by certain people in the DOJ and the FBI of trying to cover-up their crimes (with the help of their cohorts in the media) of obstructing justice. They're trying, but it isn't working. And just like with Nixon and his colluders, they'll pay for it eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
