Mostly liking the new, young congresswoman “AOC”

[icehorse]

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is, IMO, making some nice waves in DC. In a short time, she’s proven she can shift the Overton window in ways that I think are really healthy. I don’t think her proposals are perfect, but I don’t think they need to be. I think she’s energizing a lot of young people, and I think she’s doing a good job of some stealth education. For example, I’ve read a few times that people are learning what “marginal taxes” really means, for the first time.

I've been trying to get the concept across for years.
Btw, I was unaware that the world was going to end
in 2031 until she informed me.

I don't know much about her, but her opponents have been loud and been making the name famous. That usually ends up just the opposite of what people think, just like happened with Trump.

 

[icehorse]

Really...

The first video you offered was a collection of strawman arguments. These were not arguments in good faith.

Is the second video any better?

Loudness responding to loudness.
She's the left's new great white hope.

It's loud enough to hear in my corner of Europe, a very rare thing for a congressman or woman. Though of course our news has some funny interpretations. Not many of them really understand the US much better than the US news or political commentators understand us here...

I don't think our news even knows that Finland exists.

Well some right wing folks in the US seem to know us because of the winter war with Soviet Union and some left wing folks know that we have free education and healthcare. That's about it.

Tis for the best that our media leave you alone,
lest agenda laden stories be invented.

 

[fantome profane]

I admit it. I am a total AOC fanboy.

I like her ideas, but I love her energy and dedication.

And it is not just her, there is a very exciting movement going on, she is just part of it.

I love the way she stands up and fires back. It's not about hope but about delivery. And while she's pwning the right, the multiple House investigations are quietly gathering steam. It's valuable to have someone like her.

Tis good to have something to enjoy.

 

[Woberts]

Eh, she's ok.
It's nice having a congresswoman show up on a transgender charity stream by one of your favorite youtubers, too.

Moving the Overton window significantly leftward is indeed something to enjoy.

Yes, she has been excellent so far. Just the kind of Congresswoman USA needs. More like her should be elected in the future.
