It's really creepy how some right-wingers are so obsessed with this woman. I didn't realize how crazy this obsession was until there were right-wingers stalking her boyfriend online.

Again, it is the obsession that is creepy. Concerning yourself about her boyfriend has nothing to do with politics, but nonetheless there were right-wingers doing just that.

AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib are extremely dumb, with a sprinkling of truly nasty beliefs (in Ilhan Omar's case especially).

This is known.  We've known it for a while.

Unfortunately, in this cycle especially, they are too entrenched and popular and well-funded by the Justice Dems to be removed in a primary.  And their districts are Safe D, so they are not going to flip to republicans.

Most of us want them gone just as much as you do.  That's the annoying thing about these splinter left organizations like Justice Dems and SocAlt.  They raise tons of money and then focus it all on a small set of low-profile races because their goal is to create celebrities, not to actually get anything done.  The amount of money spent on AOC/Omar races is unreasonable for a congressional primary with only tens of thousands of voters.  But winning the primary matters a lot more to them than it does to everyone else.  So they dump all their money on it.  Same with Sawant here in Seattle.  She raised millions and millions of dollars from all around the country to eke out a narrow victory for a city council seat over some local gay dad type.

Maybe one day we'll get the opportunity to kick them out, just like you were finally able to get rid of Steve King.  But until then, stop pretending like they speak for any significant portion of the Democratic Party.  They are just firebrands out to get attention and money for themselves and their small constituency of grifters and wingnuts.

Dumb statement, but the only truly HP member of the squad is Omar. however the Pressley wing, which is also the soon-to-be Jamaal Bowman and Ritchie Torres wing, is far superior.

I'd expect Marie Newman as well.  They're basically the Warren equivalents in the House.  All of them are fine.  Probably.

And of course there are at least 2 more going in this year that are at least as bad as Steve King.

They can't handle being told what to do by a woman, a young person, or a minority. AOC ticks all 3 boxes, and it drives them insane.

This is why you don't elect a bartender to congress.

So she worked as a bartender after college to help support her mother. Are you seriously using this as an "argument" against her, or are you aiming at a cheap "gotcha"? Either way you're being a terrible human being now.

Remember when conservatives ripped on Obama for never working “a real job” but now having worked one of the realist jobs in the world is also disqualifying 🤔

AOC is bad, but it has nothing to do with her previous jobs. It's the fact that she promotes radical pipe-dream ideas, which then become albatrosses for more mainstream Democrats. I genuinely hope she's drawn out in 2022.

One of the best things about Queen AOC Purple heart is seeing all the neolibs from both parties get so triggered about everything she says.

AOC: We're in a pandemic and an economic downturn. Poor communities were given a $1,200 check in March to survive, with no rent control and a brief moratorium on evictions. NYPD is still getting $6B, there was no cut. Education funding, however, IS being cut, housing assistance is nonexistent, there's a hiring freeze on public workers (except police), and 1 in 6 children in the city school system are homeless. More police funding is not going to fix crime. Fund these communities and crime will go down.
