Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has made a name for herself for the controversial things that she says on social media.
But on Sunday, she announced she would be giving up Facebook because social media poses a public health risk.
From Daily Caller:
Ocasio-Cortez has used social media significantly to her political advantage thus far, but she announced Sunday in an interview with the Yahoo News podcast Skullduggery that she will no longer be using Facebook, according to WaPo. Her campaign is still running Facebook ads, the Washington Post reports.
I personally gave up Facebook, which was kind of a big deal because I started my campaign on Facebook. And Facebook was my primary digital organizing tool for a very long time. I gave up on it, Ocasio-Cortez said to Yahoo News.
Social media poses a public health risk to everybody, Ocasio-Cortez said to Yahoo News. There are amplified impacts for young people, particularly children under the age of 3, with screen time. But I think it has a lot of effects on older people. I think it has effects on everybody. Increased isolation, depression, anxiety, addiction, escapism.

Until she opens her next bottle of Wine
Anybody know how much we're paying her?
I think it’s polling. She,Omar, and Tlaib are annoying independent voters that Pelosi hopes to ensnare. Pelosi and other party powers are talking strategy here.
Boop Oop A-Doop!
Quits it 3 months later, says its a health risk
Bingo.
LOL!
“Instead of facebook, you can just meet in your neighborhood cells and report what you did that day. And you can post your pictures on bulletin boards in the town square. But only those pictures that are approved by your local commissar.”
Not only is she a malignant narcissist attention whore, she is also truly mentally ill, bipolar manic with LOTS of manic episodes. Put that together with her ignorance/lack of education, shes hit the Stupid Rat Trifecta.
But how is she gonna connect with the 3-year old voters?
“I can’t quit you, Facebooooook!”
Nancy said she defended Omar but didn’t what Omar said ,D’oh
From Pelosi's perspective, you can see why. ACO has been a drain on the Democrat's energy and going into an election season, the last thing they need is a crazy ideologue sucking all the air out of the room.
I'm sure the conversation went something like "If you don't shut your pie hole with all of this loony nonsense, we will find a strong candidate to run against you and your time here will be very short."
Granted, Pelosi's a leftist nut, too, but it's a sliding scale...
Now I’m really scared. I actually agree with AOC on something. Dumped FB about a year ago.
“Mark Zuckerman has hypnotized the world!!” she exclaimed.
Gotta agree with the Commie Bug.
“Social Media” has actually made the quality of life worse in just a few years. Anyone with a functioning brain can see that.
I use Facebook all the time to keep in contact with family and friends. I guess it’s all in how you use a tool.
I’m sure there was a “Now listen here, Missy” in their conversation somewhere
