A woman cutting through the BS.

Oh ffs, I have seen several videos of her on Twitter grilling people and thought she was really good. I am now most disappointed in her.

I guess the thing that bugs me about her is that she’s like trump sort of a living tweet. She has all these “zingers” to tear people down but where is the substance? Where’s the room for growth or change?

She’s like a justice robot: “This is evil I DESTROY” give me hope and ideas, not just sound bytes

She is a divisive politician in the US and I think they've had their fill of divisive politicians. She's obviously bright and clever and just the sort of young woman I'm glad to see in politics but she is driving moderates away from the democrats.

It's also worth learning a little about AOC and quite how tough her "Bronx upbringing" really was.

Yes, not a fan for the reasons mentioned. Another traitor to women and girls I'm afraid.

Her retweeting hbomberguy really raised the profile of his fundraiser for mermaids. She probably hasn't a clue about the complexities, so woke is she.

Shame really, she is great in other ways.

Oh no! I didn't know she was on the trans train. How extremely disappointing.

Yeah, no. She's fully paid up virtue signalling wokey folky. I don't have any time for her.

Joisanofthedales · 24/10/2019 11:44

I agree she is a strong supporter of trans ideology, so for me, she is someone I have no time for.

michaelbaubles · 24/10/2019 11:39

I like her style but yeah, she's all about the woke train and putting her support behind Bernie Sanders, so no hero to women IMO.

AOC is fully on the trans wagon, thinks TWAW, and tweeted that gamer person raising money for Mermaids, so...no.
