AOC Is Nuts.......It's Confirmed
- Thread starter The Oracle
- Start date
Yes there is.
Lots of studies on this.
The middle ground is far to the right only because the gap between Republicans and Democrats has gotten so big.
That's the leadership.
But the voters are different.
And the leadership follows the voters because the voters elect new leadership.
Forgot about her.
Makes sense.
They seem to be doing well.
Voting to Overturn the Election Is Apparently Great for Fundraising
The Republicans who objected to certifying the election—and owned it—are outraising the Republicans who voted for impeachment.

Mitch, Mitch, and Mitch. Graham as well from Arms Manufacturers. Probably some other long term no namers who are the bag men.
Funny about the Dems as AOC beat Pelosi just using small donations.
Sure she does. She's smart, well spoken, articulate, involved.
You don't like her because she doesn't share your views. And because she thinks, acts and speaks like a 30 year old smart cookie, not a 50 year old smart cookie. That 20 years of experience is a big difference-maker.
She's young, not dumb.
Compare her with Cawthorne who's young, extremely dumb and extremely dishonest and corrupt. It's like comparing gold (AOC) to dogshit (Cawthorne).
She attacked donor interests, and is trying to change system. There is billions and billions at stake. Of coarse they have it in for her. Most of the people who call her dumb… they just listen to other peoples take, and don’t actually listen to her.
No idea what’s she’s like outside of Washington, but she is incredibly effective at questioning and calling out BS… and many many people do not like that. Hence the retaliation and non stop personal attacks. She must be doing something right.
Fundraising Totals: Who Raised the Most?
Political action committees (PACs) collect contributions from employees or members and direct them to candidates and party committees. Which are the biggest PACs in the 2020 election cycle? See the details.

In 2020, Scalese and McCarthy were the biggest GOP fundraisers in the House. Pelosi and AOC led the Democrats.
Any surprise that McCarthy and Pelosi are their respective party leaders in the House?
No one surpasses Greta Thunberg in calling out BS in promises and climate policies
of world leaders. And what has she accomplished in terms of emission reduction?
Likewise what has AOC accomplished in terms of improvement in access to health care?
Is Big Pharma going to lower the cost of prescription medicine in response to her attacks?
If AOC's calling out Exxon's cover up of climate change is what led Big Oil to have openly
declared commitment to zero emission lately that would indeed pass as an accomplishment
in helping to shield the oil industry from attacks by climate sheeple while they continue drilling
like there is no tomorrow.
Her legislative chops have been suspect - she has some things she's co-sponsored but she doesn't have a top tier track record in getting things passed or amended.
In a hyper-polarized environment, though, that may be a less meaningful skill than what she's shown in oversight and questioning.
And as I showed above, MTG has passed McCarthy this year.Fundraising Totals: Who Raised the Most?

Since when has a junior congresswomen been able to push legislation through?
They call her dumb, because they are unsuccessful in arguing against her opinions.
Rarely, but you can get on and co-sponsor things early.
There are metrics on this.
She's middle-of-the-road from what I remember? Maybe bottom third? (like the 40th percentile or something?).
The thing is, very little is getting passed in this environment, and nothing was when she got in 2018 since the Republican Senate was blocking everything. That makes it hard to say that is a meaningful metric right now.
And who exactly HAS been successful in achieving that stuff?
Isn't the system set up to block any such inconvenient boat-rocking?
The hilarious part is those that hate AOC love the abomination of humanity known as DJT
Couldn't they be any different?
On side you have a poor half puerto rican born in the Bronx who manage to win second price in high school for the International Science and Engineering Fair while in high school (the MIT even named an asteroid with her name after that feat). After her father died of cancer in 2008 she fought with her mother to save the family house (testament problem) where she took every possible job to makes ends meet. She kept her political work to become the youngest candidate ever elected to congress. She speaks firmly and elegantly and is very well mannered. On top of it she's quite cute with a body to die for.
On the other end you have a spoiled stupid fat guy to whom everything was given and who cheated absolutely every opportunity he could to become a billionaire (still simply putting the 200 millions he got from his father in the stock market he would have end up richer then he is now). On top of it the guy has no humanity, humility and demand respect instead of earning it. A born cheater.
What can she do? The US system is corrupt. The politicians are not in charge anymore, their donors are. Banks write the banking laws… big pharma writes the pharma laws, and Big Oil writes the energy laws. The politicians just sign them. Yes, it happens in both parties, but one party is a little more aggressive at it. One Congress Woman cannot overturn a Supreme Court decision on Citizens United. And the Right Wing Media ensures there voters never actually listen to her… just the rhetoric about her. Better that way for them. And look at the usual suspects on this board who drink the kool-aid. Not smart enough to listen to her for themselves. Besides, their cheerleader outfits are pretty form fitting… why stop wearing them now? “Gooooo Trump!”
In your view if voters do listen to this talk of AOC for real and take her seriously
what good would come out of it?
