This business of repeating the three letter acronym AOC is politically risky.

What allows a politician so completely lacking in substance to gain such quick name recognition? Usually it’s a weird name like Obama - but other hooks can be catchy nicknames like Bubba.

Another common hook is the first-name-only thing - like Prince, Maddona or Hillary.

An acronym like JFK can be effective too - and that is what Ocasio-Cortez handlers are counting on - they may also be using it to avoid the Cortez surname which is a likely enough name for a President, but not for a President of the United States.

I think we should boycott this marketing ploy by avoiding the use of the three letter acronym and just calling her Ms Cortez (or Occasional-Cortex).

I sort of think we should call her “that-congress-girl-from-New-York-that- flails-like-a-pole-dancer”.

Doesn’t exactly rolloff the tongue, but someone here must be clever enough to shorten the idea into something pithy.
