Just wait until she actually does something...

A freshman congresswoman who has held office for less than two weeks is dominating the Democratic conversation on Twitter, generating more interactions — retweets plus likes — than the five most prolific news organizations combined over the last 30 days.

Ocasio-Cortez is the latest Twitter powerhouse

She can thank Fox news and the rest of the hate filled Con media for her popularity.

Them criticizing her nickname in school? A dance video? Them posting fake nude pictures of her.

But they need someone new to hate, and a Latina woman who's a Democrat? Lots of red meat there for the GOP base.

If this is a new metric to how we measure a politician then Trump is literally the best ever. Now, will you admit that this is a dumb metric or admit that Trump is the best?

No. It's not a metric to measure how good or successful a politician is. As I noted. AOC hasn't even done anything. It's a tool that measures who is talking about who and how much "influence" that person has on social media.

Is that a positive, negative, or neutral thing?

My favorite tweet so far was to Joe Lieberman when he was saying she was not the future of the Democrats.

"New party, who dis?"

Politicians and Hollywood types crave a high positive Q score .... which is public name recognition.

You have an issue with what I wrote? Be specific to where I went wrong, instead of just an inane and vacuous exclamation.

this is why I could never embrace never-trumpism. For someone who says you are "Nevertrump Gop", you are willfully promoting an outspoken democrat socialist who would destroy the entire Gop is she had the chance. She is every bit as radical as trump is, if not more so, and yet you find more in common with her than with Trump, and I say this as someone who was also skeptical of Trump and voted against him in the primary.

From each according to their ability (to pay more taxes), to each according to their need (for more public assistance) is a very appealing message to some inside this country. Be very careful what you (and Carl Marx, et al) wish for.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_each_according_to_his_ability,_to_each_according_to_his_needs

Dude the whole Carl Marx thing is getting old. You guys should come up with a better schtick. There is no one in congress advocating for full socialism.

For people who claim to be conservatives. They support someone who constantly lies and cheats, uses the MAGA media complex to scam them, is friends with some of the worst deplorables in modern america, is a horndog who paid off pornstars with election money, spreads nonsensical conspiracy theories, flirts with dictatorship, bends over for Putin every chance he gets, was married three times, was accused of raping his ex-wife, and walking in on naked teens at Miss Universe dressing room, admitted to grabbing women by the *****, was accused of raping a 13-year-old child, raping, groping or sexually assaulting 17 other women, and said he'd like to have sex with his daughter. He is also being investigated for committing serious federal crimes, including but not limited to: conspiracy to collude with a foreign power, breaking federal election campaign laws, breaking federal tax laws, breaking charity and fraud laws, breaking immigration laws, and possibly hacking and other computer crimes. In a far ranging investigation that is way worse than Watergate.

30 people or more that have worked for Trump to get him elected have been found guilty in this matter. Including trumps campaign manager, lawyer, top aide, and national security adviser all pleaded guilty to lying to federal authorities about various laws they broke. Trump himself as well as his bank, may even be under secret indictment but yes. Let's worry about one freshman democrat who has a big mouth and likes to pick on the elite racist white class of the GOP and their gullible supporters. :roll:

So the logical step is to go and support a socialist? Your opinion can be whatever on trump, but if you're going to let that skew your personal politics and opinions of politicians who fundamentally oppose everything you stand for, then you might be a hack.

Or just a commie masquerading as a conservative, that's certainly a thing and, I don't see a single conservative view you support. At least Ben Shapiro still supports conservativism even though he is anti-trump.

It's like, if the democrat party nominates and supports a Bernie Sanders-AOC ticket, me going and promoting the KKK and response. It's just a stupid thing to do because your criticism of trump should have nothing to do with AOC, nor should my criticism of Red Cortez or Josef "Stalin" Sanders suddenly make the KKK or David Duke more appealing.

I didn't know posting stories about a freshman congressperson was supporting her. It's almost like you can't go on without insulting a woman with a successful online presence. I do however, support the metrics that twitter uses to track powerful people (of which she is one) on their platform. This has nothing to do with my politics.

There are no negative stories about AOC except for the ones the right wing trolls make up. There are tons of negative stories and investigations into trump. The two cannot be compared.

It is. It promotes her agenda, which is an agenda that would destroy anything and everything about conservativism. Makes me wonder why you would like her, when it was the standard never-trump rhetoric that talked about Trump destroying conservativism in the US.

Still, I'm glad after you ranted about trump, you were able to get back on topic and discuss AOC's very many professional and ideological shortcomings.

You were the one that brought up nevertrumps I simply laid out my reasons for not liking Trump and why I might possibly agree with what AOC is currently doing. We'll see if she has a nefarious agenda later, but so far Trumps is worse. As I correctly pointed out and his has nothing to do with "conservatism". At least she doesn't have any multiple investigations into her where she broke numerous laws. So she's already better than Trump in that regard.
