Why Ocasio-Cortez Must Be Engaged, Critiqued, And Winsomely Trolled

No reference point, but it sure cuts her down to size, does it not?

[GSWarrior]

I prefer “Occasional-Cortex.”

[Georgia Girl 2]

She’s low hanging fruit.

[RedStateRocker]

Underestimating her would be the dumbest thing we could do. You don’t need to be a genius when your opinions and attitudes are reflective of millions

[qaz123]

I think one of two things are going to happen:

1. Dem leadership is going to throw her under a bus because she’s going to give them a lot of headaches.

2. She’ll withstand getting hit by the bus and drag a lot of support away from the Dem’s, into her Socialist party, which will force the Dem’s to go even further to the Left than they might be comfortable with.

[Charles Martel]

I can guarantee she didn’t write that response to Don Jr.’s post. She doesn’t have the smarts to write a comeback like that.

I concur - she's got the Communist hive mind supporting her.

[qaz123]

This says it all...

FReepers are underestimating the appeal of "democratic socialism" among young and minority voters and they're underestimating Ocasio-Cortez.

The Republicans need to go after Asians big time. They share many of the same values.

[qaz123]

But they can afford to be insane liberals. Just like all the celebrities, athletes and tech people. Find any affluent liberal neighborhood in ANY city in America and it’s damn near guaranteed that it is the WHITEST place around. I can take you to 3 or 4, right now, in and around Atlanta. They got money and can afford to insulate themselves from the consequences of the policies they pretend to support.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Capitalism produces EVERYTHING socialists wish to “redistribute” and socialists run out of things to “redistribute” the minute they succeed in destroying capitalism.

Case in point; Venezuela.

[Cheerio]

[laplata]

You’re right on and make good points.

It’s disgusting how stupid and ignorant most people are today.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

I would caution against taking Ms Ocasio-Cortez too lightly. Back in 2004 some lightweight former community organizer spoke at the DNC convention. Many scoffed at the though of this loser becoming anything more than a state senator. In mid-2015, many people thought Trump's candidacy was a joke...Jeb! was a shoe-in.

Nobody with a (D) behind their name can be taken lightly, because of the hurricane-force propaganda wind at their backs. And because of all the kids who allowed to vote but who are still on the wrong side of

"Not to be a socialist at twenty is proof of want of heart;
to be one at thirty is proof of want of head.”— Clemenceau

[DPMD]

Is it too soon to be talking about impeachment and indictment?

[DPMD]

She’s close to 80, going on 11.

[lapsus calami]

 

 

The same kinda crowd that voted for Obastard twice, had the signs in the yard and stickers on their cars - may still be on there too. Found on social media braying about black lives matter and white privilege - but if a random black guy were to wander through their neighborhood they'll be burning up 911 beseeching the police to make the scary negro people go away.

 

 

[JusPasenThru]

Everyone said this about Hillary after she bungled Clintoncare.

Nuke them out of orbit. It’s the only way to be certain.

[jmacusa]

“Baby’’. Because she is one. All socialists are. Crybabies. Besides it speaks to her immaturity and vacuousness. She even talks like a little girl. She sounds like the annoying, know-it-all eighth grade girl who is head of the student council. And for me, a big fan of 1940’s film noir, it has a slightly affectionate yet condescending tone to it.

[firebrand]

She needs to be ignored. All of this fuss is just feeding her attention addiction. You are enabling her. She already thinks she’s the queen of England, and you are handing her the crown.

[firebrand]

Someone said it as a joke and she decided to go serious with it. It was kind of funny as a joke but not as a threat.
