Re: tOfficial "The GOP and Mainstream Media is Obsessed With Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez" Thread..

[kingstonlake]

I'm gonna stand by my theory. The more she steps in it, the more she jeopardizes the independent vote swing in 2020. I don't want it to come across as telling a woman to shut her mouth but she has to realize everything she says is news now. Everything. Like it or not she may end up being the face of the left and what the right runs against, trying to take all the focus away from Trump. Every single word will be a board in the platform that the right runs against. You cannot afford to lose independent or swing voters because of a freshman congresswoman. Her quote on climate change paints her as a far left wacko.

We do not make decisions based on fear of how the wingnuts might react. Fuck them.

Words have consequences. Not saying it's right or its wrong. Its just the way it is. I need something from AOC other than words. Show us a bill you got passed. Show me a bill you sponsored, show me legislation you've introduced or authored. You were elected to make a difference. Words don't do that. Show me something. When Pelosi says something it carries weight because she has a track record to back her words. All I'm saying is lets make sure we learned a lesson from 2016 and campaigning with words.

Bob, Democrats are not trying to flip Trumps base in 2020. Let that go.

[Heat Miser]

Before I see another person post about the intelligence of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, let's get a few things straight.

*In high school, she won the International Science Fair for her project studying the effects of antioxidants on microbes

*She had a fellowship at Boston University

*She graduated cum laude from Boston U.

*She started her own publishing company and worked as a bartender to help pay her and her mother's bills following the death of her father

*She is the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, beating out an entrenched and wealthy Democrat that had the full backing of the national party

*The grand total of her mistakes and misstatements during her brief time in Congress would be considered a slow Tuesday morning at The Hamberdler's White House.

At this point, if you earn less than $1 million per year, AOC is pretty much the only person in Congress from either side fighting your fight. Don't fall for the BS from the wealthy who are worried about losing their tax breaks, or the BS from the dudes who can't tolerate a smart, assertive woman.

And unless you've accomplished at least two of the things above, I'd ease back on the "AOC is dumb" posts. Because we all know she's smarter than you.

[Dr. Strangelove]

She's been tweeting way too much and it's filling my TL on Twitter. She needs to follow GEOTUS's example and limit her tweets to like 10 a day.

Bob, Democrats are not trying to flip Trumps base in 2020.  Let that go.

I know.. but when the media ramps up attacks on things like Hillary's email account and all of the evil associated with it, it creates a dynamic that promotes voter apathy.. like "well, I'll just not vote".. or "I'll vote for the lesser of two evils".

really? bragging about sexually assaulting women.. the mocking of disabled people.. the mocking of POW's.. a history of racism, bigotry and bankruptcy.. is the "lesser of two evils" as compared to someone who mismanaged an email account?

so I know that Democrats aren't trying to court the mouth-breathing, racist knuckle-draggers - but when the media gives the GOP cover while consistently attacking whoever the Democrat candidate might be, it dampens the playing field.. and an already stupid America is likely to just tune it all out and go back to Facebook or NASCAR.

She said "Millennials and Gen Z and all these folks that come after us are looking up, and we're like, 'The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change, and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?'

That's not the same as saying "The world will end in 12 years if we don't address climate change."

Here:

1. We're really scared that Greenway's herpes will infect the board in 2019.

2. Greenway's herpes will infect the board in 2019.

Are those the same sentence?

Fake news.

Your post asserts that "The world is going to end in 12 years if we don't address climate change," =/= "The world will end in 12 years if we don't address climate change."

Either you didn't phrase that exactly how you intended to, or you are demonstrably incorrect.

No. Those are different statements. One is an example of the mindset of a subset of people. The other is a statement of fact.

You might think that, but the only difference between the two is "is going to" being replaced with "will," so I think you need to reconfigure your phrasing if you are going to assert that those statements mean different things.

To use your example:

1) Greenway's herpes is going to infect the board in 2019, and we're scared.
2) Greenway's herpes will infect the board in 2019.

I don't see what your point is in differentiating those two. The first still makes a statement of fact about Greenway's herpes, just as both statements about global warming make a statement of fact that the world will end in 12 years if we don't address climate change.

You’re leaving out the phrase “we’re like” which is what changes the meaning.

It depends on what the definition of “is” is.

[Cameron]

1) We're like "Roc doesn't understand words."
2) Roc doesn't understand words.

Seems the same to me.

upstanding patriot Rush Limbaugh compares AOC to Hitler, Stalin, et al.

“Ben Stein tweets, ‘We have a society in which there are an awful lot of people who have no idea that Stalin, Hitler, Mao Zedong all came to power promising the same kinds of things that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is promising. And it led to mass murder, it led to dictatorship, it led to genocide,’” the radio host said during his show on Monday. “Now, what would you call that? All that is true, it's absolutely true, but it's not just Cortez. Folks, this is what the Democrat Party has become.”

I can't imagine waking up every morning filled with hate and being afraid to leave my house because brown people are coming for me.

I gotta give some of these folks credit, though - if they're into money, which is all that matters to them, I suspect, they certainly have hit the jackpot preying on intellectually and emotionally vulnerable republicans.
