Fed-up AOC constituents in Bronx, Queens mock absentee ‘rock star’ who’s never in the district: ‘This woman has done nothing’

Frustration with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has reached a breaking point on her home turf, with fed up Queens and Bronx constituents telling The Post they’re sick and tired of being second fiddle to the jet-setting socialist’s primary focus — herself.

Her district offices in the Bronx and Queens offer little to justify the $1.9 million the congresswoman gets to run them — one is only open a single weekday and the other is closed on Fridays, with phones that go unanswered and constituents urged to discuss their problems “by appointment only.”

AOC’s town halls used to be monthly events – now are only held once in a blue moon, there’s virtually no way to get in a question, and sometimes she only phones in and doesn’t bother coming in person, galled constituents said.

I have a lot of friends, relatives in her district and as I've pointed out before, NOBODY likes her except for a very small minority. As my uncle calls her - "AOC: A**hole Of Congress". The rumor is she used the votes of illegal aliens to get elected and reelected which is why she's always mouthing off for illegals instead of citizens. Hopefully with Trumps deportations she's outta here and back to the bartending.

This is way beyond doing nothing, sitting on a barstool watching garbage when she should be attending votes or something. She actively promotes and votes for harm. To the extent she has any it is witting.

She needs to be sent back to doing what she does best, selling tequila and tacos to the beach bums.

If she had done something it would be even worse.

Effective representatives know that prompt and efficient constituent service is the key to longevity in office. If you have a problem with a federal department, the best way to get action is to contact your congressman first. AOC has apparently not absorbed this lesson.

With sufficient voter fraud, she will keep getting elected, and elected, and elected. She may try a shot at the Senate, or POTUS. She’s the left’s little angel, there will always be an office in federal government somewhere.

‘This woman has done nothing’

My guess is that her district is so full of die-hard Democrats who don't give a rat's a** about the truth that it really doesn't matter to them.

You Haven’t Done Nothin’ - Stevie Wonder

We are amazed but not amused
By all the things you say that you’ll do
Though, much concerned but not involved
With decisions that are made by you

But we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Tellin’ how you are gonna change right from wrong
‘Cause if you really want to hear our views
You haven’t done nothin’

It’s not too cool to be ridiculed
But you brought this upon yourself
The world is trying to pacify
We want the truth and nothing else, yeah

And we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Tellin’ how you are gonna change right from wrong
‘Cause if you really want to hear our views
You haven’t done nothin’
Jackson 5 join along with me say

Doo-doo-wop, hey-hey-hey
Doo-doo-wop, whoa-whoa-whoa
Doo-doo-wop, mm-mm-mm
Doo-doo-wop, oh-oh-oh
Doo-doo-wop, bum-bum-bum
Doo-doo-wop

We would not care to wake up to the nightmare
That’s becomin’ real life, mmm
But when misled, who knows a person’s mind
Can turn as cold as ice, mm-hmm

Why do you keep on making us hear your song?
Tellin’ us how you are changin’ right from wrong
‘Cause if you really want to hear our views
You haven’t done nothin’
Yeah, now
N-n-nothin’, nothin’

Jackson 5 sing along again, say
Doo-doo-wop
Doo-doo-wop, oh
Doo-doo-wop, oh-oh-oh
Doo-doo-wop, sing it, baby
Doo-doo-wop, bum-bum-bum
Doo-doo-wop, um-bum-bum
Doo-doo-wop, come on

Sing it loud for your people, say
Doo-doo-wop, um-bum-bum
Doo-doo-wop, stand up be counted, say
Doo-doo-wop, go-go-go
Doo-doo-wop, oh-oh
Doo-doo-wop, um-bum-bum
Doo-doo-wop, ah, hmm
Doo-doo-wop, this man, doo-doo-wop

So why don’t they stop re-electing her?

I would pay real money for a moderate dem (i.e., not another commie) to primary her out. Unfortunately, there is no chance of a Republican winning her seat unless there is some serious gerrymandering after the 2030 census.

“My guess is that her district is so full of die-hard Democrats who don’t give a rat’s a** about the truth that it really doesn’t matter to them.”

Bingo.

She’s utterly safe — in a general election. Her only concern, and a small one at that, would be in the primary. If some viable Democrat challenger would somehow arise, the Democrat Money Laundry (ActBlue) would go into overdrive with its “smurfing” of billionaire/corporate donations, and/or the challenger would be ordered to stand down (or else!) like Joe Crowley was in 2016.

Gotta protect our future President at all costs, LOL.

Being smart is not a DemocRAT strong suit.

Her district needs to stop whining and recall her then.

NY 14th Congressional District demographics:

52.4% Hispanic
18.4% White
13.5% Black
12.1% Asian
2.2% two or more races
1.5% other

Don’t gotta guess at all. The rump remnant White minority are mostly Irish hardline Rats; they were formerly the majority and elected the previous long time incumbent Crowley.

It ain’t “America” in Nueva York anymore. And sure as hell ain’t Kintuck...

From the article - $2,000,000.00 to run two district offices? Does she NEED 2 district offices? This is the only reference I can find that states there is an allowance for DISTRICT OFFICE RENTAL...Can they use money appropriated for their offices in DC to fund the district offices?

I don’t have a clue what the “limit on permanent employees at 18” means as there’s no reference to number of employees anywhere else.

“”The Members’ Representational Allowance can be used by representatives for official expenses like staff, travel, mail, office equipment, district office rental, stationery and office supplies. As of 2017, the allowance for personnel was $944,671, while the limit on permanent employees was 18. Office expense allowances varied based on distances between a member’s district and the capitol.””

That’s nothing. The dirtbag leftist senator (Recently retired) in Maryland, Ben Cardin’s office actually blocked my number after a call.
