re: #36 LeftyRambles2413 (HappyWarrior)

AOC is like Trump. She’s too online. It’s my understanding she never even opened an office in her district. I’ll defend her when people like that Brian dude throw out sexist bs but I’ll criticize her if I think she’s misrepresenting things and I’m sad to see it, I see her do it in ways that have long annoyed me with her mentor.

Actually, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has, according to her website, two offices - one in each borough her district covers (Bronx and Queens), but I’ll agree that AOC is punching well above her weight as a freshman Congresswoman. I get that she is is quite web-savvy, and knows very well how to leverage even negative publicity into public exposure (and it doesn’t hurt that so much of the criticism really is “sexist BS” or mindless left-baiting) - but then again, she is probably the highest-profile real *leftist* in a generally centrist legislature - she doesn’t have too many choices in avoiding obscurity.
