Democrats 'like' it: The secret to Ocasio-Cortez's social media success (Fake news alert)
NBC News ^ | January 20, 2019 | Alex Seitz-Wald

Posted on 01/20/2019 8:00:05 AM PST by Zakeet

Less than three weeks after being sworn in as the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez already has more Twitter followers than Speaker Nancy Pelosi, more interactions than Barack Obama, one of C-SPAN's most-watched congressional floor speeches of all time and a ubiquitous nickname that doubles as her Twitter handle — "AOC."

Democrats want to learn from her, Republicans want to destroy her and many in Washington fear being "dunked on" by her. The 29-year-old House freshman from New York is showing her older peers what the future of politics might look like once the digital natives like her take over, for better or worse.

"We've just never had someone who matches both our demographics and our politics," said Waleed Shahid, who worked on her campaign and is the communications director of the left-wing group Justice Democrats. "Bernie (Sanders) matches our politics, but he doesn't match our demographics."

“I stopped at the National Mall to pick up some stuff. The green parking lots are progressive enough, but I couldn’t find the stores! And I don’t know how the Memorial outlets stay open. There’s nothing in them!”

I appreciate the Fake news alert, but I also think a barf alert would be nice. Just the sight of that repulsive little twit is becoming more than my stomach can handle.

And when some duped FR person refers to her a hot, cute, sexy or whatever then it becomes even more sickening.

This girl is dangerous. She’s a modern version of Jane Fonda, a person that also could have been referred to as hot, cut, sexy in her day. The difference is this girl is in a position to do real damage and has such an agenda as well as being promoted 24/7 by the MSM.

The bug-eyed Bolshevik is a rock star whose mission is to fundamentally transform this Republic. Her astounding stupidity/ignorance and arrogance makes her that more dangerous. Make no mistake; she is the future of the Democrat-Socialist Party.

That is precisely why we ignore her at our own peril. We belittled Obama in 2004. Look what we got.

History has had many one-hit-wonders.

They come on the scene, media feeds their egos, they gain all kinds of popularity, and then they fizzle into nothingness.
