"Get used to me slaying": The Journal of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - Page 68 - Politics and Economics

So glad she is going for the jugular right away. Make these clowns play defense. As that clip of Harris showed, Dems would be smart to stop playing nice with these conservative grifters and religious nuts.

Hell, it turned Bernie from a 30 year back bencher, who announced his candidacy on the Capitol lawn to a handful of reporters, into a relevant political figure. Stop with the preemptive apologies perfected by the Clintons and start kicking these guys in the nuts. Worry about apologies later.

Giving me a boner. Don’t stop.

Bit of a flippant response maybe, but I think it's illustrative of his lack of understanding of the real dynamics at play in any situation. He always has these superficial takes.

Naomi, I've posted about it before but basically I think she's the left-wing politics version of Malcolm Gladwell, more interested in constructing some all-encompassing ubernarrative than in dealing with the facts. I don't normally like Chait but he does a good job with Naomi here. Pretty much agree with the piece in its entirety.

have opened three politics threads today, & have come away from each one thinking that the real problem is that the modern day american conservative is legitimately stupid and not able to understand simple things

Somehow this thread title is managing to under-emphasize the degree of her destruction.

How long did his great-grand kids try to explain that to him before they gave up?

Is there a more useless, counterproductive Democrat in the last 50 years than Lieberman?

Exasperated Democrats try to rein in Ocasio-Cortez

Quote:

“I’m sure Ms. Cortez means well, but there’s almost an outstanding rule: Don’t attack your own people,” said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.). “We just don’t need sniping in our Democratic Caucus.”

Quote:

“She needs to decide: Does she want to be an effective legislator or just continue being a Twitter star?” said one House Democrat who’s in lockstep with Ocasio Cortez’s ideology. “There’s a difference between being an activist and a lawmaker in Congress.”

Quote:

“I think she needs to give herself an opportunity to know her colleagues and to give herself a sense of the chemistry of the body before passing judgment on anyone or anything,” said Rep. Yvette Clarke, a fellow New York Democrat.

Quote:

“She’s new here, feeling her way around,” added Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-Ore.). “She doesn’t understand how the place works yet.”

Pathetic.
