Trump was a lot more popular, still is. Race to the bottom.I just love how much people want to tear down this young congresswoman. Must be scared crapless of her and what she represents. And the best part is it isn't working. They are doing for her what the mainstream media did for Trump. Endless free advertising.
No she's unpopular with Republicans. She's popular with Democrats. Gee I wonder if Fox, amongst others, running one ridiculous smear story after another has anything to do with that?Trump was a lot more popular, still is. Race to the bottom.
I don’t find them all that different. Bombastic, misinformed, thin-skinned, and great self-promoters.
No, it has to do with her ideas, not the coverage. She is also widely unpopular with independents who don't watch Fox News.No she's unpopular with Republicans. She's popular with Democrats. Gee I wonder if Fox, amongst others, running one ridiculous smear story after another has anything to do with that?
So i saw a headline about her accent. I just assumed it was more of the bs "latina thing" criticism being lobbed at her. After reading the comments in here i had to find the video.HellToupee said:Nice accent
What are some of the Fox Smear stories?No she's unpopular with Republicans. She's popular with Democrats. Gee I wonder if Fox, amongst others, running one ridiculous smear story after another has anything to do with that?
Showing her video clips. Showing her plans. Showing her tweets. It is outrageous the stories that evil Fox News comes up with.What are some of the Fox Smear stories?
Accent is probably the wrong word. Inflection maybe? Cultural appropriation maybe?Do people mean accent or do they mean word choice? Maybe I’m watching the wrong clip, but I don’t hear an unusual accent. (I’m watching the “ain’t nothing...” clip.)
What?I think folks are hearing in her "Nothing wrong" clip what they want to hear.
Its not only the words, its the dialect and more importantly what she is talking about. This woman is a buffoon.What?
There is something wroooong with the waaaaay she is speakING.
NCCommish pointed out tgat it is common. I dont think there is some sinister motivation to her doing it, but she unquestionably was doing it.
You can hear the difference later in the clip when she stops and returns to her normal speech pattern.

Unless something has changed in 3 weeks, she’s pretty unpopular with Democrats also.No she's unpopular with Republicans. She's popular with Democrats. Gee I wonder if Fox, amongst others, running one ridiculous smear story after another has anything to do with that?
While 31% of respondents in a Siena College poll of registered New York voters released Monday said they had a favorable opinion of the 29-year-old democratic socialist, 44% said they had an unfavorable view of her. About a quarter — 26% — said they didn't know or had no opinion of the freshman lawmaker.
Among registered Democrats, Ocasio-Cortez had a 47% favorability rating, while 6% of Republicans said they had a favorable opinion of her. Ten percent of those who described themselves as conservatives, as well as 25% of moderates, said they viewed her favorably.
They dont give all the numbers. How many had an unfavorable opinion? How many had no opinion? In other polls I've seen about 40% of Democrats said they hadn't formed an opinion yet.Unless something has changed in 3 weeks, she’s pretty unpopular with Democrats also.

It is my opinion. She seems to need attention and she wants to get involved in every issue and also wants to be involved in how the DNC does their job. It makes sense with her ego that she will jump in the middle of the Democratic primaries and attempt to be king/queen-maker. Diversity is a key so unless their is some kind of white male superstar on board with all her craziness, she is going to back a minority and/or woman.:crickets:
It was your claim that she is popular among Democrats. There is plenty of evidence that she is not popular in the general population.They dont give all the numbers. How many had an unfavorable opinion? How many had no opinion? In other polls I've seen about 40% of Democrats said they hadn't formed an opinion yet.
That isn't what you originally said:It is my opinion. She seems to need attention and she wants to get involved in every issue and also wants to be involved in how the DNC does their job.

You said nothing about backing a woman and specifically limited that person to someone non white. It seemed a transparent attempt to essentially call her a racist and I thought it was intentionally provocative and inflammatory just to get a reaction.On 4/6/2019 at 8:34 AM, jon_mx said:

You put way more thought in it than me. I simply meant she is unlikely to back a white male. Shoot me.That isn't what you originally said:

Yeah she volunteered for Bernie and that's how show got her start. I'm guessing if Bernie is still there come the NY primary she'll be backing the old Jewish guy who incidentally is white.You put way more thought in it than me. I simply meant she is unlikely to back a white male. Shoot me.

And they obstructed implementation every step of the way. Despicable.The Republicans got nothing because Obama used their plan.Is there anyone besides me who is sick to death of arguments like this?
i don’t ####### CARE who’s to blame for our healthcare woes. The question is: what should we do now? The Democrats appear to be debating several solutions, we’ll see which one is the most viable. The Republicans have offered nothing. In the 9 years since Obamacare passed the Republicans have offered no viable alternative. This fact alone makes me want to vote Democrat.
C'mon man, are you seriously buying into this lady? I expect this from Mario Kart, but I sensed you were above this. She's so full of holes that her body whistles when she walks.I just love how much people want to tear down this young congresswoman. Must be scared crapless of her and what she represents.

Exactly. She was nobody back then. Now she believes she can prop up some minority candidate she will. It is also a bit odd that Jews are now white.We'll see
If the last two people standing were Corey Booker and Bernie Sanders, she would absolutely support Bernie. Guaranteed.We'll see
I sure hope you can explain this in a way that’s not too embarrassing. For your sake.It is also a bit odd that Jews are now white.
Yes. First priority is a socialist. Second priority is race and gender.If the last two people standing were Corey Booker and Bernie Sanders, she would absolutely support Bernie. Guaranteed.
What needs an explaination? It is not racist, it is s debate among Jews themselves.I sure hope you can explain this in a way that’s not too embarrassing. For your sake.
That’s a very silly article.What needs an explaination? It is not racist, it is s debate among Jews themselves.
What is odds about it? Hispanics and Asians have not experienced the same level of racism as blacks in this country either. Are they white too? This is a discussion in a Jewish progressive magazine, I fail to see the offense.That’s a very silly article.
Jews have faced some modest discrimination in the US. They couldn’t get into certain country clubs, or private housing developments. They faced bigotry in some industries.
But no Jew has ever had to drink from a separate water fountain here, or attend a segregated school. No Jew gets stopped and searched by police on a regular basis because he or she is Jewish.
It’s really strange that you would even bring this up within the context of this discussion.
I never said what you wrote is offensive. I said it’s weird.What is odds about it? Hispanics and Asians have not experienced the same level of racism as blacks in this country either. Are they white too? This is a discussion in a Jewish progressive magazine, I fail to see the offense.
That's greatIf the last two people standing were Corey Booker and Bernie Sanders, she would absolutely support Bernie. Guaranteed.
Have fun on your time out. But, in the future, don't insult your own intelligence.C'mon man, are you seriously buying into this lady? I expect this from Mario Kart, but I sensed you were above this. She's so full of holes that her body whistles when she walks.
You reported him for that? Why?Have fun on your time out. But, in the future, don't insult your own intelligence.
Even if he didn't it's exactly what is wrong with this place. Someone probably did report it. There should be a programmed option where when the report happy people report frivolously, then mods can take away the ability to report.You reported him for that? Why?
At least you provided an answer.Showing her video clips. Showing her plans. Showing her tweets. It is outrageous the stories that evil Fox News comes up with.

Do you think in time AOC can pull it left to where she wants it?Nancy Pelosi with a rather polite put down of AOC:

Its still Nancy’s party. For now.
I don’t. It may move in that direction, but she won’t be the catalyst.Do you think in time AOC can pull it left to where she wants it?
SAME argument the majority of the folks here say about CNN. I mean exactly the same..Showing her video clips. Showing her plans. Showing her tweets. It is outrageous the stories that evil Fox News comes up with.
