AOC appreciation thread.

[sheshe2]

Someday you may be her. Kamala Harris an Indian-American first woman of color as Vice President of The United States.



Women can and will rock the vote. See Stacey Abrams.

[Me.]

1. Am I Wrong

or is that our amazing veep?

[sheshe2]

3. That is her!

Dayum, she is rocking it!

The legislative record of Kamala Harris shows a loyal Democrat and Trump counterpuncher
Californian has voted with fellow Democrats 99 percent of the time

4. Fabulous

so proud...KR

[sheshe2]

5. ...

[George II]

20. At the time she accepted Biden's nomination as VP, she was rated THE most progressive member....

....of the United States Senate.

#1, Numero Uno!

[AllaN01Bear]

2. hear. hear.

6. So where's AOC? n/t

[sheshe2]

7. In my headline.

And a song dedicated to her.

9. AOC on Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY)

“Rep. Malliotakis deliberately amplified a known lie and tried to overturn our election on it, which incited an insurrection of white supremacists that killed 5 people. Her district is 30-40% people of color. How safe do you think they feel under her leadership?”

[sheshe2]

10. I assume you mean under Nicole's leadership?

Actually it is 7 deaths now when you include 2 officers committing suicide. Dozens more wounded severely.

Frankly none of us feel safe. New warnings of domestic terrorism out. No one is safe.

[Kid Berwyn]

11. Commenting on the organized hypocrisy.

Nicole on tee vee said she was disturbed by Jan. 6 riot.

Then Nicole voted against certifying election results.

[Dem4Life1102]

18. I prefer to call her

Nicole Malliotraitor

[Kid Berwyn]

25. AOC made clear Nicole is no Max Rose.

[George II]

21. Is that not off-topic?

[Kid Berwyn]

24. No, it's a quote that shows why I appreciate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

What do you find off-topic?

[George II]

28. All I remember is that she criticized Max Rose every chance she got, and now we have Malliotakis.

You appreciate that?

[Dem4Life1102]

32. Not every chance

Link to tweet

And it should be noted that Rose spent more time attacking other democrats than republicans including refusing to vote for Pelosi as speaker.

[George II]

34. That was a week AFTER the election, and she still got her digs in...

..."despite all of our differences."

Rose was the first Democrat elected in that district in a long time, and he only lost by about 18,000 votes. He might have pulled it out with more support from his colleague.

[Dem4Life1102]

36. Being honest is not a dig

And Rose actively attacked Democrats for years.

[George II]

37. And now we have Malliotakis instead of Rose. Which would you prefer to be in the House today?

[Dem4Life1102]

38. Not the point

AOC didn't cause Rose to lose. Blaming his loss on her is unfair.

Thank you.

[Gothmog]

43. I would prefer to have a Democrat in that seat

[Kid Berwyn]

44. Sorry, that's not how I remember it.

AOC proposes liberal policies, what I consider mainstream New Deal economics and what she has termed Democratic Socialism, like universal health care and a living wage for all who work.

It sickens me to see so many in post-Reagan America now consider ideas that help ALL Americans lead better lives so far out of the mainstream they are impossible to even contemplate, let alone achieve through legislation.

[SunSeeker]

12. AOC looked great on Lawrence tonight. nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. Huh? AOC ?

[Dem4Life1102]

17. Yes

[Hortensis]

29. Catches the eye. :) So many to appreciate for making it possible,

too many now gone, some still at it -- big time!

[Billytee]

31. Love that pic! What our America should look like.

RBG will always be a hero to me.

[Celerity]

14. I cannot see the video, but I deffo appreciate both AOC and VP Harris!

[BadgerMom]

15. AOC is the best communicator we have, full stop.

[Celerity]

19. yes, AOC and Pete, by far are the two best communicators we have, & I love them both

2 different styles, both needed, and both so effective

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. +1. Pete! Jaime Raskin!

[Hortensis]

30. Yes! Rep. Raskin's ability to express his expertise in constitutional

principles and the crimes Trump committed is very impressive. Of course, as another near-newbie like Ocasio-Cortez but chosen to lead Trump's prosecution over 200 of his colleagues, no surprise he's good!

[George II]

22. Um...if by "we" you mean the Democratic Party, we have LOTS of great communicators....

....who are out there communicating and working with their colleagues to get Democrats elected and get things done.

Communicators like:

KAMALA HARRIS
PETE BUTTIGIEG
STACEY ABRAMS
JAMIE HARRISON
JAMIE RASKIN
NANCY PELOSI
ADAM SCHIFF

etc., etc., etc.

[Dem4Life1102]

33. Yes all of them and AOC!

[George II]

39. I responded to this:

"AOC is the best communicator we have, full stop."

[Dem4Life1102]

41. Glad that you think so!

[MustLoveBeagles]

23. I lulz'd

didn't take long for the butt-hurt to show up.

[myohmy2]

26. +1...

...love her...

...

[Turin_C3PO]

35. Our Democratic women are just awesome, intelligent, compassionate,

capable people. From Hillary Clinton to the Squad, Stacey Abrams, Elizabeth Warren, and, of course, Kamala Harris. We have an embarrassment of riches on our side.
