This. There’s weird delusion held by some on the left that if moderate Dems in marginal districts would just go all AOC they’d not only win, they’d do so easily— some of that is an understandable and even laudable correction to the DLC GOP-lite approach Dems took in the 80s and 90s but they go way, way too far— see…

AOC’s folks bitched about the committee assignments too— it “busy work” to “distract her”.... okay cool but somehow I think if they’d been put on less significant committees they’d also complain about being frozen out.

Yeah-- calling the a Native American LGBTQ woman elected in Kansas a segregationist because she votes moderately (and again she’s from freaking Kansas) is just beyond offensive. 

That Libby doesn’t like them being mean about her girl AOC. Fake News! Fake News! 

I think it’s more that the article itself is kind of amazing— the moment anything potentially negative is floated about AOC, Splinter goes full Trump attacking the sourcing, motives behind it, etc but if a similar story was floated about Nancy Pelosi they wouldn’t just run it, they’d split it into a multipart article…

Forget GOP (especially White House) they don’t even hold this same standard when attacking Dems they don’t support. 

Wait. Does this mean you guys are going to quit using similarily anonymous sources to go after Pelosi or does it only apply to Dems you support?

His hands were needed elsewhere? 

That these motherfuckers aren’t turning on Trump even after he inevitably stabs them in the back is baffling. 

Exactly, the last paragraph is even filled with links in case the sarcasm wasn’t evident.

Fred wouldn’t associate with one of those Southern European types. 

AOC and Omar receive disproportionately more media coverage than say Ben McAdams or Sharice Davids or Katie Porter. 

He doesn’t need to be bright— this is one of those things he actually is brilliant at— he has the finely honed instincts of a lifelong conman combined with those of a bully- I doubt he could name a quarter of the Bill of Rights but trolling, picking at a weakness, whipping up hate and fear-- he’s fucking Einstein at…

Trump added “At least I didn’t see her at the last meeting, and besides now that Antonin’s dead we can go back to not taking D[epithet for Italians]”

Prove that. Seriously, please substantiate this in any way. 

This. For the life of me I can’t get why establishment Republicans are so ride or die with the man given that loyalty is so clearly a one way street.

Can we talk about the decision to dress them and cut their hair like their really into Kubrick cosplay? 

I think Acosta might have a tiny head— look at him next to Trump’s “Jack-o-Latern left out til Black Friday” gourd.

This. I was literally writing a “okay can we pause for a sec and talk about his hair” 

Praxis, it’s a poli sci term constantly misused by dirtbag leftists in much the same way Paris Hilton et al used the term feminism to mean “what I was going to do anyway” in the mid-00s
