    She is the female version of Homer Simpson I do not think anyone would have taken her seriously 4 years ago, but now people like her are accepted and even celebrated. Democrats want people like her to represent them in Congress

    She says insane things when she is called out.

    Some things she has said:
    • She told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes that the Tea Party movement is different from the progressive movement “because the grounding of the Tea Party was xenophobia, the underpinnings of white supremacy.”
    • While fear mongering about climate change she mused, “There’s scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult. And it does lead young people to have a legitimate question: is it okay to still have children?”
    • AOC said social media is a “public health risk,” so she “gave up Facebook.” However, she kept all of her other social media pages and her campaign continued to advertise on Facebook. Seems legit.
    • She claimed dogs get more time with their babies than women do:
    • She called immigration detention centers “concentration camps” and doubled down on it, despite outrage from real Holocaust survivors:

    And Democrats chose her to represent them in Congress.........

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME????

    She is one of those people that sees no line between truths and lies. She and Adam Schiff should move in together.

    One could argue the reasoning of those statements but until she starts calling for public officials to be executed or space lasers started forest fires I won't be losing any sleep.

    I may well be wrong but I suspect you created this thread as a direct rebuke of the thread about Green with nearly the same title.

    If so, epic fail unless your purpose is to showcase a false equivelency.

    No, Biden and Kalama are the faces of the democratic party. AOC represents the left wing faction of the party.

    Uh oh. Somebody sounds triggered. Im sorry you cant handle lefty politicians being ripped on. Karma sucks dont it?
    The irony is lost in you it seems. The real issue is claiming that ONE person represents the thoughts and views of Millions!

    They got votes from republicans to remove her from committees so your effort to say they are all the same fails!

    This a I agree with but its substance was lost on your poorly executed false equivelency.

    I don’t see these statements as being all that out there to be honest.

    • While the Tea Party had a relatively diverse set of goals, among them was a rejection of amnesty. I can understand why she would feel personally attacked by that and how it would shape her opinion of the movement.
    • The majority of experts believe that human caused climate change is happening and it is leading to catastrophic damage to our environment. When people have doubts about the future their children will face they tend to question bringing them into the world. Considering America’s declining birth rate this seems like a valid concern to address.
    • I dropped Facebook too. Good for her. She probably doesn’t micromanage every aspect of her campaign.
    • Half of women in the US only end up with around five weeks of maternity leave after having a child. Compare that to standard practice for dogs where puppies are kept with their mothers for eight weeks minimum. Another issue Americans are facing that deserves attention.
    • con·cen·tra·tion camp
      /ˌkänsənˈtrāSHən ˈˌkamp/

      noun
      1. a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities, sometimes to provide forced labor or to await mass execution. The term is most strongly associated with the several hundred camps established by the Nazis in Germany and occupied Europe in 1933–45, among the most infamous being Dachau, Belsen, and Auschwitz.
      Based on that definition I’d say she’s not wrong. Do you make it a habit of being offended on behalf of other people?
    Let me know when she starts talking about globalist inter-dimensional vampires that drink adrenochrome.

    My equivalency was AMAZING, hence why you got so triggered over it. Relax, go have a cup of tea, stop getting so stressed over internet forums. it is not good for health!

    Did mention that list was only of stupid things she said in 2019? it gets worse, much worse, however, my mission is accomplished. I have successfully shown the hypocrisy of the left and have proven that AOC is the face of the ENTIRE democrat party

    More partison nonesense.

    If you think someone disagreeing with a post of yours on a political forum is being triggered you may want to express your political views in a different venue.

    Just to help you out.

    Forum: a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.

    See how it works?

    Did you want you discuss the actual topic further or continue with ad hominem attacks in the form of condescension?

    So you wanted show that AOC is a nutter by posting a list of reasonable comments; many of which addressing pressing concerns in the United States? Hey I’m not one to tell you how to argue, but I’ve got to admit this is a strange strategy. Maybe post some more of those recent crazy comments if you actually care about this topic and you’re not just looking to troll.

    not strange at all
    want to say one crazy person on the right represents EVERY PERSON on the right then we can do the same thing regarding ONE crazy person on the left.
    sorry, no take backs! Its official now that EVERYONE on the left thinks EXACTLY the same as AOC and has all the SAME views.

    Me thinks someone is triggered and thinks they have special privilege by it being OK to say M. Greene is the face of the republican party but then falls apart and gets all triggered when its done to them.
    Go check that double standard!
    I love watching you guys wallow in your own hypocrisy. SO ENTERTAINING. Thank you! I could not get this much entertainment out of a $20 movie ticket

    The left hasn't elected AOC President. The Orange One was a believer in the same type conspiracy theories as the crazy
    new MAGA Congresswoman. There is a difference. BOTH parties have lurched into crazy land, but at least
    the Dems have yet to make one President.

    Hey, I’m fine with it. My views line up pretty well with AOC’s so it’s no skin off my back. You’ve still yet to offer anything that suggests she’s off her rocker though. Maybe you’re satisfied with the list, or just can’t think of anything that actually backs your claim? Who knows.

    This thread kind of unraveled quick, huh?

    I think its only unraveled in your head. I also think you were super triggered by me pointing out the hypocrisy and cannot handle it, so you keep on responding. Looking forward to your next reply.

    Conversations tend to require responses to progress. So yeah, I’ll keep responding even if you don’t have much to offer. I like talking to people as much as I like arguing. Plus I figure this thread is likely to end up deleted so might as well ride it out for funsies.

    I wasn't offering anything. I was just reminding you who the face of YOUR party is, no take backs..you are associated with AOC and there is nothing you can do about it. Just have to deal, sorry

    Don’t be sorry. I’m fine with it. Me, AOC, and Sanders are homies.
