Only power she has is what you are giving her, everyone else in D.C. including Nancy Pelosi, her boss, knows she has very limited pull. All she has is TV coverage and if that was all that mattered for power in D.C. then Khardashians would all be senior congress people.
All of you underestimate her because you think her policies are wacky. Of course they are, at least for the most part. But somehow, she has managed to seize control of the democrat party and anyone who doubts that must have missed Biden apologizing for saying Pence was a decent man. The scary thing is she has been in congress for only a few weeks and she is issuing threats of hit lists on any dems who cross her. Believe me, they are scared too.
It's about public perception. The left knows sleeping with socialists would one day come to haunt them. This is your sleeping partners. ********* Patrick Moore@EcoSenseNow @AOC Pompous little twat* *Corrected for accuracy.
Really? And who was considered to be the number two after Pelosi in the dem house- on track to replace Pelosi if she did not become speaker again. That person had a fair amount of power. You would have to be like him to be really powerful I guess. I wonder who that was and what happened to him. Oh, that's right- it was Joe Crowley- and he was beat by Alexandra Ocasio. He is yet another person who never got your memo saying that she has "absolutely no power whatsoever." Coulda fooled him. I heard that Joe is working down at Burger King now, but, hey, that's good too. You want fries with that?
People not in politics do not appreciate how this sort of thing traumatizes pols. The man lost his seat, and the only thing worse than that is death. It's like the family business or birthright had been stolen.
Didn't Donald Trump prove you don't need power and experience - you just need audience. The media and old school politicians just have not learned their lesson. The media is a bridge to an audience. But you don't need the media if you have your own audience. If AOC builds her social media audience just little while longer she will have all the power she needs and the old school cronies and their politicians and their media henchmen will have as hard a time stopping her as they did Trump. They can do damage over time but if the voters want a socialist they won't be stopping her once she has her audience. (She may already have it._ Have they learned nothing from the Kardashians?
Yeh, right. I am so afraid of her I hope that another ten like her show up to "help" the dems at election time. Might want to tidy that theory up a little.
