    We all know that certain terms have consistent, clear definitions and are never selectively shifting so as to apply to whatever the user decides.

    Why ? You're saying that was sexist ? I made fun of her dress. Which I don't see the bid deal with it.I'd crack the same joke if she was a guy dressed in a similar fashion with a white suit/outfit with red written on it. And I try not to pick on ones physical appearance (unlike a few in this forum have done in the past and have gotten a pass).

    So don't give her credit for her popularity ? It's all due to pre-emptive attacks on her ?

    From the minute she won they came after her and she's been great at handling it and eventually went on the attack but lets not make it seem like she's always courted this drama that was brought to her door. Can I find a real amazing how people like you ignore that first 6 months or so where the press, mainstream and conservative, a lot of all day Fox News and she's there, she's that and just continually trying to chip away at her and now that she's survived it and grown to something, we have the likes of you saying she's bringing it upon herself.


    Like this instance. She wears a white outfit in solidarity with all 45 or so female reps or democrats and who do people choose to tweet and talk about.


    But sure she brought it upon herself.

    I actually compared her to Maloney and nobody else.
    Yes, she get more hate sent her way because of her PR/Branding, but I doubt with Pelosi or Maloney has been told to go back to their country.
    But as I said, it is also likely she was attacked more because she is young(er) as compared to Maloney. And her message was also more of somebody who is young(er) as compared to Maloney. FFS, Maloney was using a message and an image (that sign) from the 1970s about a literal Amendment to the Constitution. As was much of the 1970s feminist movement, it was focused mostly on White women. AOC has explicitly spoke of her focus being about poor people, singling out POC as beneficiaries.

    So, yeah, age and race do play a part. Income is more ambiguous, but does tie in with age in this context because of her message.

    As a coda to this post:
    Why do you gotta compare her to coffee?
    It's always coffee. ;)

    I'd guess, in order:
    Pelosi
    AOC
    Omar

    Hold up hoss.
    First, Jitty added a smiley which, to me, indicated some left of just.
    But I'm the one known for pointing sexist stuff, and I didn't. I even kind of agree. Though it is from memory because I don't eat there.

    No argument here.

    I chuckled when I first read it.

    But, somebody hand-stitched that shit onto the dress, and I thought of that person. Whoever did that, did a great job.

    Latest local anti Democra-t commercial says the Dems will take your retirement away to fund $3T in infrastructure (amount shown, not what it's for). Pic of twin demons Pelosi & AOC together, of course.

    I won't ask how that would work because even the people who wrote the ad can't answer that question.

    Maybe this helps.





    Still publicity to the message on the dress, so I am pretty sure AOC is ok with this.

    Strong masculine thought leader Jordan Peterson raced to twitter to fap over the news AOC was eating outside at a restaurant

    The horror!

    She's sitting outside and she's vaccinated. Why should she be wearing a mask when the picture was taken?

    Because top libertarian thinker Jordan Peterson is a very rational scientific thinker and not at all a grifter!

    Well, yeah... natch!

    But shouldn't he have to explain WHY she's a member of 'the elite' for eating while not wearing a mask? I mean, with him being all 'sciencey' and stuff?

    Granted I think there's quite a bit of overlap between the two, but I think of Peterson more as a classical liberal than libertarian; curious why you categorize him that way?

    As the tweets say, she was dining outdoors. And as the photo from the unmentionable tweet shows, she was having a drink. Kind of difficult to do when masked. My guess is she was doing what I did with my mom - wear a mask and then take it off to drink/eat.

    Just one around her neck would have been nice. I get your point but optics are 24/7 now.

    When it comes to these grifters it wouldn't have mattered. So no....to hell with the optics.
