...emerging into public awareness when the media found the young woman of color a rising "star"
Now that the election is over AOC will be sat down and explained what her role is, told to shut up and play ball, or face the wrath of Darth Pelosi. In 2020 when they need someone to say outrageous left wing ideas she will be un muzzled and brought out agian.
This is quite likely, unless the Bernie faction (if there even is one) finds a spine.
They were unable to find a back bone and deny Nancy Pelosi her white privlage in expecting to become speaker. Why would they nut up now?
Whatever her other flaws (and being 'pretty in an ethnic sort of way' is a disgusting slur dressed up as a 'compliment') this is the real reason Fox and Brietbart hate her. They need a personality to attack, all the time, because they cannot win on ideas. As soon as a Democrat becomes popular, the hate machine goes into full gear.

She punches back against these Right Wing assholes...Good for her
Second, she writes or says so many brain dead idiocies, they beg for ridicule.
The Party of Trump ridiculing brain dead idiocies? Tell me another one.
Ain't gonna work GB, I am not in the GOP, nor did I support him for President.

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, the former craft drink bartender, has emerged as the "new and improved" far left spokesperson - emerging into public awareness when the media found the young woman of color a rising "star" - Say, before the election did you catch the Vogue magazine writeup, oozing over her Victor Glemaud sweater and a yellow Moleskine notebook?
Anyway, she has everything going for her - educated, able to speak without an accent, reputedly smart, clean, knows a lot about bartending, and some think her pretty (in an ethnic sort of way). She has only one glaring flaw - she's a confirmed ding-bat.
Now being a public ding-bat is not unusual among politicians of prominence and accomplishment - Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump are also well known for saying off-the-wall crazy stuff, but its not so common to hear stuff from "rising star" young political neophytes, that if heard from elders, might be considered nearly senile.
And like Trump, twitter has become her record of choice, one that routinely demonstrates her appalling dumbness. Her latest "analysis" missive to her followers being this:
"$21 TRILLION of Pentagon financial transactions “could not be traced, documented, or explained.”
$21T in Pentagon accounting errors. Medicare for All costs ~$32T.
That means 66% of Medicare for All could have been funded already by the Pentagon.And that’s before our premiums."How does someone this inexcusably dumb graduate from a decent four year college - especially if she really did get a degree in economics?
Taken from an article in the hard left "The Nation" the poor girl can't understand the article, and she is so completely unfamiliar with the workings of the US budget she is unable to see her own error.. Somehow, in her whack-a-doodle brain she thinks chronic gimmicky book-keeping equals "free unspent money" for Medicare - a fact that is ludicrous on its face when you realize that the US has not spent 21 trillion (total) on the military even if you add up all the years from the founding to today, which totals 18T. And they have spent far less than that in the audited period of the last 20 years.
What is particularly sad is that Ms. OC, early in her campaign, often suggested to interviewers that she needed to do more research before giving a coherent answer. Today, under the hubris of winning, no such intelligence is required.
That's like admiring the punchback of a character in ideocracy - they think there saying something smart when the average IQ'd wince over how dumb there "punchback" was.

Your recently started threads list reads like an embed of his Twitter feed, right down to the "Trump Critics Need to Get Grip" takes and the weird obsession with Liz Warren.
Three threads about AOC, a twenty something freshman Congresswoman who hasn't even been sworn in, is a bit excessive. Meanwhile the idiocy of the leader of the party you're "not" in and the head of the executive branch of the government you presumably do live under is just an amusing sideshow, I suppose.

I thought you Right Wingers like counter punchers?....You know like your hero trump
I like intelligent counter-punching, which, given your response, is likely to be unfamiliar to you.
There's nothing inaccurate about what she said. Much of M4A could be funded by diverting funds from the DoD. If they can't be bothered to properly account for that much money maybe they don't need to have it in the first place.

Even politifact says her statement is false. So yes there are inaccuracies in what she said.
She pulled a Trump and threw up some fake info on Twitter for her followers to pass around as fact.
One tip-off is the amount of Ocasio-Cortez’s "accounting errors" is far bigger than the actual Pentagon spending from 1998 to 2015, which was $8.5 trillion. In fact, it’s also far bigger than the amount the government has spent on national security since 1940 and, in all likelihood, in the nation’s history.
Lindorff said his findings suggest large-scale sloppiness in accounting and potentially deliberate obfuscation to deter congressional oversight — but not a fixed budgetary amount that could have theoretically been applied to other uses.
While some of the $21 trillion may be real expenditures, Lindorff said, "clearly most of it is simply fictitious numbers designed to obfuscate the accounting and keep the Pentagon accounting from being seriously monitored. It would be wrong to suggest that that is real money that could have been used to fund something else more useful to society."
