I’m trying to keep an open mind as she hasn’t had a chance to prove her mettle yet, but she kind of reminds me of Anthony Weiner pre-sexting scandal. Not in terms of his politics obviously, and definitely not his sleaze, but as someone who made Democrats really excited over his media prowess and ability to stick it to…

I am honestly surprised more people aren’t skeptical of her. I think people are bad at recognizing narcissism when they like the package. 

She needs to get used to this if she wants any kind of career in politics. Cooper was skeptical, but basically friendly.

I had a similar thought. The headline of this article makes it sound like AOC *has* to do these interviews at this point of her career. She doesn’t. Just because the media is into you, doesn’t mean you have to agree to interviews. Time will tell if AOC is going to be a work horse or a show horse in Congress, but…

“His tone is condescending as hell about a series of programs that are trying to head off a melting planet.”

Thus far she is all talk, at least as far as he career in Congress is concerned. This is true for all incoming freshman who have never previously served in Congress. It got her elected. Let’s see what comes next.

That’s exactly what I thought! If she can’t say “I’m pregnant” to the staff caring for her, then she can’t consent! There’s no tip toe around this one, and I hope they DNA test the staff so they can prosecute that fucker (unless it was a visitor).

YES.

“...none of the staff at the Hacienda HealthCare facility knew the patient was pregnant until she went into labor and began moaning.”

Oh my god. This immediately brought to mind the scene in Kill Bill where the hospital attendant had been assaulting her while she was in her coma and just jesus fucking christ. This poor woman.

I’m going to be honest: thinking we can do anything ambitious by only taxing “the rich” (thus implying only “other people”) is disingenuous at best.

This was fine. Her response to the tax question was bad. You explain what a progressive tax system is? Like, how the tax system we have now works? 

Oh, for Christ’s sake. AOC doesn’t HAVE to do any interviews if she really doesn’t want to. Going on 60 Minutes is a great way for her to get attention for her legislative agenda outside of websites geared to younger voters. I’m sure she was delighted to do it. Asking questions about how big ideas will be funded is a…

There’s nothing “bad” about this interview.

I don’t understand what is wrong with this interview? Am i missing something? Sounds like he reflected on himself and then proceeded to say nice things about his partner and how they prioritize spending quality time with their child....... Why would one miss the old days of Rolling Stone? They literally used to have…

I saw the headline and my hackles went up (which, no doubt, is what was intended). But then I read the interview, and I was all, “awwww!” I really do love when a man wears his heart on his sleeve - it’s really something you see all too infrequently, and the world could use more of it.

He really is growing on me - I read the full piece and he is so sweet, and loves his family so much. When they first started dating/got pregnant I really didn’t think it was going to last but they seem really in love and he seems like a really hands-on dad. It’s just sweet. Happy to see people happy!

I feel like this relationship is a lot sweeter and more stable than Grande/Davvidson. I rooted for them both, but this one is still going.

I work with teens. Fire has already happened.

He’s gonna be fine.
