It's loving great to live in a country where even suggesting that fragile white men shouldn't be able to buy an assault weapon as a surrogate dick is beyond the pale so instead we are training our high school students to be combat medics.

So since I’m not even American maybe I haven’t followed this enough but why is AOC the second coming of socialist Jesus?

Is it just that she is young, smart and progressive or do we know more about her?
(All those things are very good things)

Please don’t read anything into this besides curiosity. I’m not questioning anything about her but it’s like there’s a lot of people saying AOC for president and that she’s the country’s future.

she's not. she's arguing for a lot of things we need and is very good at making her (and our) opponents look like fools. the more representatives we have like her (and like bernie sanders of course), the better

I’d like to know what you guys think of this piece from the Failing New York Times: Why the Perfect Red State Democrat Lost.

It’s about Taylor Sappington’s struggles in Ohio.

It's a tale of a single seat in a state legislature where the GOP holds supermajorities in both chambers. And despite the headline, I don't necessarily agree that he was a "perfect red-state Democrat".

She’s very media savvy and charismatic. She’s also now the youngest person to ever serve in Congress. I also think the story of her going from being a bartender to winning a giant primary upset over the #3 Democrat in the House is pretty amazing.

She's not. She's one of many young, smart progressives that have won seats over the past year or two. But since she unseated a major centrist House Dem leader via a primary challenge, the media has made her the focus of their hatred, so her profile has risen dramatically compared to the other newly-victorious socialists.

Its just a perfect storm of "holy crap how did that happen?" earlier this year when out of nowhere she defeated an entrenched Democrat in a primary who was thought to be the next speaker after Pelosi. Combine that with her being so incredibly young and telegenic, and we were like, "ok, who are you?"

So, potentially it was going to be 5 minutes of fame for her, except it turns out that she is loving Brilliant at social media, so once she had our momentary attention, she took full advantage and we never stopped hanging on her every word and tweet.

one of the best things about AOC is that she doesn't hide from being called socialist, she embraces it fully. fox news really can't deal with that, they're used to calling dems socialists and then dems acting guilty and feeding their news cycle. so now fox news is doing stuff like reporting "she wants to take care of kids!!! :stonk:" and it makes them look like idiots.

i love it. more dems should embrace leftism the way AOC has, and more dems should grow a spine and not be so afraid of "what will the republicans say!?"
