I've read elsewhere on this thread that AOC represented highly educated wealthy people who, now I learn, are apparently not smart enough to know when the primary is.

But, hey, whatever. You're no fan of AOC and will find whatever to support that view. I'm quite sure if Hillary or Nancy said just one of the fantastic things AOC has on Twitter, you would be loving it.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is certainly quick with the applause lines. LanternWaste Nov 2020 #9

Please look further down the thread. AmericanCanuck Nov 2020 #73

Why? I have had my say in regards to your attacks, if you want to have a go about AOC ad POTUS Celerity Nov 2020 #74

There is no attack. AOC may turn out to be the very finest congresswoman. AmericanCanuck Nov 2020 #111
