    I think I see what happened, it looks like the original account either got banned or was deleted and a new one popped up, when I looked for it, all I saw was the new one.

    She's a clown but this is ridiculous to even be brought to light. Mocking or criticizing it is foolish

    AOC is up there with Lincoln and FDR:

    “I think that it only has ever been radicals that have changed this country,” Ocasio-Cortez says. “Abraham Lincoln made the radical decision to sign the Emancipation Proclamation. Franklin Delano Roosevelt made the radical decision to embark on establishing programs like Social Security. That is radical.”

    When asked if she considers herself to be a radical, Ocasio-Cortez says, “You know, if that’s what radical means, call me a radical.”​

    You’ve helped elevate her to nearly twenty pages of conversion on a local basketball Internet forum.

    Maybe she’s not FDR or Lincoln but you sure are making sure she had the platform of a modern day lightning rod poltician with a giant megaphone.

    Good job bud.

    That's gotta be a horrifying thing for our friends on the left I'd imagine. It would be similar to giving a younger, dumber version of Sarah Palin that kind of platform.....and it didn't work out very well when they gave the real Sarah Palin that kind of attention.

    Young, attractive ("telegenic"), media market, says interesting things and has charisma. I wonder why she gets media attention. The fact that the right has added to the attention she gets... and she gets onto 60 Minutes. She makes an interesting contrast and foil for trump (the only person republicans seem interesting in presenting).

    Perhaps finding someone else to elevate makes sense. For example, Will Hurd would be someone I'd think the republicans would want on TV, but for some reason, doesn't get any attention.

    Why did you post it? The source itself is so trashy that it's kind of funny, but your short post suggests that getting an "ethics dunce award" from this site is something noteworthy, when there's clearly nothing to be taken seriously there. It's echo chamber confirmation bias junk food.

    the guy is provocative in the "provoke" sense of the term. there's nothing necessarily trashy or anything else about him other than a sort of generalized right-leaning political stance. Jack Marshall is a legal ethicist whose business is conducting CE trainings for attorneys. It's too bad that you can dismiss it as "echo chamber confirmation bias junk food" because it doesn't confirm your bias. ;)

    Her spot on 60 minutes has nothing to do with her popularity among dems, and everything to do with her attention she's getting from the right. I probably wouldn't have posted a damn thing about her, if folks like yourself weren't obsessed with her.

    The Ben Shapiro post from earlier says it all. It's a statement about goofy and insignificant she is & her viral video was.... and then someone rightfully pointed out that he posted about her TWENTY ONE times in 48 hours.

    No... you don't control who 60 minutes interviews, and you are doing your part in your own local community to spread the fervor for sure.

    Who created the FOUR threads below in the "similar thread" category related to AOC?
