Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

[BobKowalski]

I understand why you might think this way but I disagree. Some of the most ardent Republicans I know are Mexican people who've made a success of their lives having moved here. Yes the Party elite , Graham, McConnell, and their ilk are vile bogoted POS's but at the grass rt level I see a way more varied group

Yeah. I see they were at the Trump rally last night.

Seriously though no one is arguing that all Republican voters or supporters are white and male. I am pointing out Republicans play the identity politics card and that is based on an identity that is white and male. Even the media panders to it with the ‘American heartlands’ and the ‘American working class’. Both representations are white. The American working class is not a black waitress in LA it’s a white guy doing a physical manual job. A steel worker. A miner. When Democrats are accused of abandoning the ‘working class’ this is who they mean not a Latino woman holding down two jobs to support her family. For Republicans, Latino women and other groups should be neither seen nor heard and certainly not represented.

And if they are to be represented then it should be done quietly and not be outspoken or highly visible which is why AOC and others cause so much hostility. They are playing by their own rules not the rules laid down for them. They are unrepentant and fight back and it’s marvellous to watch. I may not agree with everything they say but I enjoy them saying it nonetheless.

It's liberal claptrap orthodoxy to preach that type of nonsense.

I never post in the political threads i just read but here goes. You sound like some youtube troll "liberal" this "liberal" that. Saying you hate Trump but standing up for everything he does and rallying against those who are against him. have the courage of your convictions you two faced enabling apologist.

I sound like a YouTube troll coz I'm not a 'yes sir whatever you say sir.' Sorry I'm not your serf. And I don't need your acceptance.

And what's with the qualifier? Is that supposed to add some sort of unwarranted importance to your claim?

I can comment on whatever I deem worth commenting on in these threads. I need neither your permission nor approval. So go back to just reading. Better yet block me if it triggers you.

Replace AOC with Trump and you've just parroted the classical Trump voter. Funny that eh?

Sworn in as congress woman yesterday and really seems to put some kind or fear or resentment from republicans, like they are scared of a young, left leaning(in american terms), enviromentaly aware, passionate woman is, along with some oters in the new members are gonna destroy their stuffy old mens system.

I find her quite refreshing and her support for free tuition for all, more rights for Puerto Ricans, medicare for all and other social policies only positives for america.

Also I love that she isn't arsed at the shit thown at her like this nonsense where some republican journo tried to shame her for dancing



And her response




They also booed her being sworn in ffs and criticised her wearing hooped earings and lipstick.

America needs younger more diverse people in politics imstead of the old cliques imho

Didn't really notice her until read a reddit post made it to front page about some republicans mocking her previous job as a waitress. Vile bunch of creatures to stoop so low as to mock a young woman for having had an honest job.

If you can replace Trump with AOC that would be great. She has more emotional maturity than Trump and isn’t a race baiting moron so we are up by two already.

There would be no America if she ran the show.

Still comparing her to Trump I see. Dear god whatever has she done to you?
A nice line of race hate Trump has drummed up this week. His behaviour is really dragging the office of President through the mud.
