minus-squareThebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoDon’t forget she was a bartender in college, which they hate. Meanwhile boebert was very literally an escort, which is how she got into politics. Yet nobody cares
minus-squareLovable Sidekick@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down4·2 months agoChalking it up to racism etc. doesn’t give her the credit she deserves - typical superficial social media thinking.
minus-squareLovable Sidekick@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down2·2 months agoIf you only define AOC in MAGA’s terms then neither have you. How MAGA leaders think vs how they convince their flock to think are distinctly different.
minus-squareVitoRobles@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoPretty much. She’s currently in their crossfires. Which honestly, is good. AoC is tough. Shes been doing this for a few years now, picking up the torch that Bernie Sanders lit three decades ago. And behind her are hundreds of politicians who are empowered by people like her to rise up. AoC (and Bernie) walked so these new folks can run.

Don’t forget smart and assertive
