Interesting problem; Cortez is an ignorant fool with in itchy Twitter finger, but she's a walking advertisement to anyone who can control what she Tweets. The problem is, how many libs follow her because they agree with her, and how many cons follow her to illustrate the state of the democrat party?
Exasperated Democrats try to rein in Ocasio-Cortez That train left the station awhile ago. Best that they can hope for is some sort of damage control.
Speaking of Trains and Cortez: Ocasio-Cortez: We’re Going To “Run Train On The Progressive Agenda” So, turning to the Urban Dictionary, it looks like Feather Head blew it again. Kudos to her for mainstreaming this phrase for the “locker-room talk” era of American politics, though. Makes a nice addition to recent Democrat addition of Motherf...r “Run a train on the progressive agenda” would actually make a solid 2020 slogan for the Trump-led GOP. The Post: How did you feel when that [fake] nude photo hit yesterday? Ocasio-Cortez: I was surprised and I was annoyed because it was a new tack. They’ve been for a very long time focusing on taking quotes out of context or manipulating them or making it seem as though I said things that I didn’t say. This was different in that it was an outright fraudulent thing. You can tell that they’re getting into hysterics because now you’re getting into my actual body, which is definitely crossing a level, definitely crossing a line. I also think it’s encouraging because this is my sixth day in Congress and they’re out of all their artillery. The nude is supposed to be like the bazooka. You know, like, “We’re going to take her down.” Dude, you’re all out of bullets, you’re all out of bombs, you’re all out of all this stuff. What have you got left? I’m six days into the term, and you already used all your ammo. So enjoy being exhausted for the next two years while we run train on the progressive agenda. She just said she wants to “run train” on the progressive agenda. Jonathan Last wrote earlier today, before the WaPo interview was published, that Ocasio-Cortez and Trump are similar in that both practice the politics of dominance. Man, he didn’t know the half of it. Anyway, two thoughts. One: Had Sarah Palin said circa 2009 that she wanted to “run train on the conservative agenda,” it would have been a three-week festival for lefty blogs, final proof amid various other gaffes that she’d never rise above being an object of ridicule.
She’s doing great for someone who was bartending a year ago........I think most Republicans hope the Dems just let her keep running her mouth........
So she spends time on Twitter, whoopty-doo. Reminds me of a certain occupant in the WH who does the same thing.
The last time such a phrase was mentioned in regards to DC was via Creepy Porn Lawyer Michael Avenatti and his client Julie Swetnick during the Kavanaugh hearings, as this typo-filled article from September at Heavy.com notes: Swetncik [sic] signed a sworn affidavit that Kavanaugh and Judge were part of a groups [sic] of teenagers who, in the early 1980s, perpetrated gang rapes by drugging girls with grain alcohol spiked with Quaaludes and the[n] “ran trains.” And Swetnick said she herself was raped. She does not say Kavanaugh raped her but was present. The following month, The Hill reported, Chuck Grassley (R-IA) referred Swetnick and Avenatti to the Justice Dept. for lying to investigators.
I don't appreciate the way Ocasio-Cortez Normalizes Rape Culture With ‘Run Train’ Comments: AOC mentioned nothing about whether she’ll ask for the consent of the Republican Party before she gangbangs them into submission. What if they’re just not that into her? Is she literally threatening to rape 60 million plus Republican Americans? As James Bovard of the Mises Institute wrote in November, We Need a #MeToo Movement for Political Consent.
Why attack AOC for using a term that means she’s going to gang rape America with progressivism? I applaud her honesty, Andrew Klavan tweets.
Maybe but at least she is not president So tell me how is anything she has done worse than Trumps avalanche of disasters?
1) The RW AOC Obsession Continues. 2) As usual, the RW takes the Trollbait and reacts predictably. 3) AOC Trolls the RW like a Champ. They can't quit her. 4) RW falls for AOC's bait (hook, line, and sinker). 5) Why is the RW so easy to troll? PS--Just ignore AOC. Things will be ok.
I like the way she is honest about being a socialist. Most Democrats lie about that. It's refreshing to see some honesty in the DNC.
How long will it take before the stuff her somewhere that she can't do any further foot in mouth damage to the Democrat party.
We live in a new age where women act like prostitutes and use profanity and sexusl innuendo like a man And then complain that they are not being respected She is part of a radical leftist movement that intends to destroy everything that average Americans hold dear I take her seriously as a revolutionary who has as little use for the democrats in congress as she does the Constitution or the Bill of Rights
as always, TDS dominates liberal thinking to the very end Libs cant even deal with a hot little tamale on their own side cause they are too traumatized by trump
She is a millennial narcissist and so naturally she is going to choose to continue being a leftist media star without worrying about being a good legislator. On the face of it this would seem to be damaging to a politician's career. But then again that identical strategy worked for Barack Obama since he essentially had zero meaningful national level experience and no management or leadership history when he became president and star struck leftists voting for the IMAGE of a president knew this about their sacred political messiah. So she has got a shot.
