In reply to the discussion: AOC Destroys Greene On Twitter With One Word: 'Taller' [View all]Downtown Hound
(12,618 posts)15. Anyone who tells you ignoring a bully and "being better than them"
works is a straight up liar or an idiot, or both. The only thing a bully understands is when you show bigger teeth than they've got.
Even if you don't agree with how AOC handled it, it's complete bullshit the height of false equivalency for you to say she's just as childish as MTG is. Stop blaming victims for fighting back. Doing so makes you a part of the problem, and it's why Republicans believe they can act the way they act with no consequences.

As far as I know, two lawmakers comparing sizes never saved a single democracy.
