Confirmed: @AOC wins a spot on the high-profile House Oversight committee, giving her a potentially huge platform to interrogate Trump administration officials in next two years.

"fears aoc"? Fears aoc"?!!!!!!


View attachment 67248582

AOC is pulling the majority of the Democrat party of the extremist left, hopefully all the way to 'left out'.
The rest of the Democrats are following through some sense of herd mentality or 'because if you can't beat'em, join'em'.

Quite well known that the Obama administration was a disaster for Democrats and the number of seats they held in state legislatures.
If AOC and the rest of the Democrat politicians continue on their continued leftist extremist drift, may very well see that repeated.
The greatest irony would be that it would have been self-inflicted.

I'm pretty sure people have just been laughing at her. No one fears her.

Oh, shut up. She's a literal socialist that's become the belle of a political party whose demographics are set to eclipse yours within a decade or two, why the hell WOULDN'T you be afraid of the potential consequences of her getting more power faster?

Go ahead... spout a policy of hers that you think is "the extreme left". Please.

Get 'em, Girl.

Why do people keep saying the right fears her? I know of almost no one on the right that fears her. So far as I'm tracking, most of them are like and love her. We want her to be the poster girl for the Democrat party. She's not smart, says the most ridiculous things, and is much further left than mainstream America.

I hope she keeps in the spotlight.

If anything, I think establishment Dems are more scared of her because they know this. They're trying to keep her in check.

She can't go anywhere without the power of the Democrats behind her. Some of the things she says make Democrats cringe.

In what universe does a self-identified Libertarian support a socialist?

The one way you can always tell how much the right wing fears somebody is the level of attention they give them. And the far right has found a new Hillary to demonize.

One poster here said something about urinating in their undies. No doubt that is what is happening as they lose control of their functions.

Ah, okay. So the left feared Sarah Palin?

Her first Congressional speech aired on c-span recently. It garnered around 1 Million veiws, a record breaking number of veiws for c-span.

AOC also has something that very few democrats have: a presence on social media and the Ability to maintain a following on that platform.

She also

What are examples of "the extreme left" to you?

It's not about me. AOC is being called extreme. Prove it. What policy?

Two of you have dodged this very simple question already. If you truly believe her to be extreme this should be very very easy for you.

:lol: She's to the Dems what Trump is to the GOP. A populist that's also a member of their key target demographics. In Trump's case, he's a rich white man, and she's a working class minority woman. They both spout populist drivel though.

:lamo

On the contrary, we love it every time she opens her mouth. Have you heard the latest?

According to AOC, we need Medicare for all because poor people in Alabama are suffering with ring worm that can't afford medical care. And she thinks in this day in age that is unacceptable. I am not making this up. Even though ringworm can be treated with over the counter drugs just like athletes foot, She thinks billionaires should pick up the tab for
Medicare for all.

In the same interview she calls climate change our modern day WWII and gives us only 12 years before the earth will be destroyed.

Keep talking AOC. You are the gift that keeps on giving.

A complete novice from out of ****ing nowhere that constantly spouts half-truths and exaggerations that appeal to the lowest common denominator of their base? GEE, I WONDER WHAT COULD GO WRONG HERE?
