She was catapulted to the front page, and they took advantage of it by painting her as the face of the Democrat Party. The left and the media created her, and are now, "What's with the obsession!!!" Perfect example of this; the video of her dancing. The mainstream sites were up in arms that the GOP was "upset with a woman dancing". AOC tweeted a video stating something to the effect of "conservatives don't like women dancing" and then she danced into her office. Problem is, I didn't see a single right leaning site complaining about her dancing or even mentioning it. She completely fabricated supposed outrage from the right over that video so she could act defiant over the supposed outrage. It honestly amazes me that people don't see this.

My interpretation of the video being shared on conservative sites was criticizing her behavior. So are you saying that turning it into a gendered issue was wrong, or that those outlets were not criticizing her behavior? Edit: This is what I get for not caring about irrelevant things like this, I see there really wasn't much of a stir over it. A QAnon type troll account posted it, and then it was shouted down into oblivion.

The rest of the table was stunned to know they had been lied to their entire lives. ![]() But if one guy in CA never saw anything about it on any right leaning site then it must be completely false. Glad THAT is cleared up. ![]() Here comes the post demanding I prove it was on a site that will be followed by me showing it and then SFF saying he still never saw it.

Maybe you'll believe Matt then? I'm always amused by your knee jerk refusal to accept anything I say until someone else says the exact same thing.

Good paying jobs are great. But if the cost of living jumps too, who wins? Same with Denver. AMZ wanted to be there. Ton of upside for them, geography, talent pool, etc. Problem is, Denver's housing market can't sustain the growth of the past 10 years as is. Add a crumbling infrastructure and the horrendous government service funding laws and that deal quickly becomes an exercise stuffing 15 lbs of shit in a 10 lb bag.

Quote:"I have three kids, two of whom are daughters. One just graduated college, one who is in college, and they were both texting me about their excitement over Alexandria because she really — she represents the future of our party," Perez said during an interviewwith the liberal radio-show host Bill Press. [/url] [url=https://twitter.com/joshdcaplan/status/1014155356405207040] She is on the news now because the GOP thinks she's a dumb young kid and they want to paint her ideas as the totality of "the left".

In the early ones people who are clearly conservatives mock her, but now that the echo chamber is telling them that the right never mocked her the recent comments from conservatives are about how they never mocked her. RE: The right's obsession with AOC - fredtoast - 02-26-2019 Just checked the moring headlines. Foxnews site has three photos and SIX stories about AOC on their main page. CNN has zero.

FOX often seem to have one to multiple AOC stories each day, including "controversies" that are none (they once proudly found some Venezuelan immigrant that would slam her) and tagging her socialism to dictatorships and whatnot.

FOX often seem to have one to multiple AOC stories each day, including "controversies" that are none (they once proudly found some Venezuelan immigrant that would slam her) and tagging her socialism to dictatorships and whatnot. It saddens me that I have to repeat this, but here goes. The media anointed AOC the moment she won her primary. Sure, it's a compelling news story, young woman beats long term incumbent in primary. She was then all over the news for several months. Then her more extreme views began to become known. At this point the GOP and right leaning press realize she could be a powerful tool to use against the Dems. From this point forward they make efforts to paint her as the face of the Democratic party, as "the future" of that party. While this is politically savvy on their part that's not really the point I'm getting at here. Yes, the right has now latched on to her and runs more stories about her than the left or middle of the road (what few exist) outlets. This would never have happened if she wasn't exhorted by the left leaning sites from the moment she won her primary.
