And China pays her very well

She doesn't "know" anything, she just memorizes her lines and was promised a career in Hollywood once she leaves office.

She knows she can get money and power from it

So the thing about AOC is that you could see her selling her soul in real time.

She started her tenure taking pictures of how the banks throw a big "training" event for new Congress people. She exposed how it's all big money all the time in Washington, not the people. She fought Pelosi hard until Pelosi gave her a special promotion with golden handcuffs.

She truly believes in socialism, which is how they got her to sell her soul. She would do anything to get socialism into the mainstream and be the leader of the movement. Pelosi got the media to sit with her and talk about her ideas nonstop. They hailed her as a leader, doing photo ops for famous magazines. They had academics talking with her about critical theory.

But then she was asked to be a part of a Congressional committee that sold out the blue collar working class. She got her big promotion. And she was asked to put her name on legislation that she didn't understand that sold out her constituents (because she was out of her league). Now, the DNC is leaking to her constituents the shit she did to throw them under the bus, and the media is now telling her that they are the only ones who will protect her from ruin. And with Antifa, the DNC tells AOC that she must defend them. AOC got on stage and lied, even as Antifa burnt down her own district. Now that her constituents are realizing that she has lied, they are pissed. And now that they are pissed, she is working hard to lie to cover her ass. And she is now using Antifa to squash doubts about her commitment to her constituents.

AOC went from being a good-hearted socialist to a socialist dictator in real time. It works out the same every time. It's a well-documented phenomenon.

I think you may be onto something. AOC probably doesn't believe in Socialism but it sure does benefit her since she is in the club with the rest of the elite club of the Federal Government. Yes she is young and stupid but those old horny men of the Federal Government will keep her around because she is eye candy in a certain way. I myself do not find her face attractive but her body is spot on.

Take Elizabeth Holmes, former CEO of Theranos which was one of the biggest cons in Silicon Valley. A young white blonde woman managed to convince a bunch of old horney investors, which probably wasn't hard since Robert Kraft was one of them, to invest into her company that is biologically impossible to do. 30+ blood tests from the prick of a finger.

AOC is loving the money and benefits she is receiving while in Congress, she no longer has to live at home or in the ghetto. Can purchase those $100+ pairs of shoes without having to wait until they go on sale or out of style. In DC, AOC lives in Navy Yard, for those who are not familiar this is one of the hottest new neighborhoods in DC that has been cleaned up. Most one bed room places are at least $2K per month.

Once you step into the swamp, it is near impossible to step out. She's a youngin' with 1 term under her belt. The swamp swallowed her whole.

From day 1 it was obvious that she is mentally handicapped.

I've run into a few people though that think she is the opposite. Funny how brainwashing works.

Is she on it with him or is it him just bashing her? I want to see if she can answer hard questions

Ah yes, the classic socialist left: they love their guys, right up until they actually take power and do the things the left wants them to do. Then, suddenly, they're "neoliberal scum and we've always been at war with them."

Wouldn't want to be called "bootlickers" by your totally sane and totally loyal fans, amiright?

I could list people this happened to for days: Pelosi, Obama, Clinton, Sanders, and now the Squad... AOC introduces some of the most insane socialist legislation to ever hit the floor of the House, but now I hear she "just puts on a show." I guess she's just "neoliberal scum."

Good news for her though--that means she's actually gaining power within the caucus!

(Friendly reminder: spitting on people is an assault charge for everyone who isn't a Communist. Dore can cry otherwise, but he should be deeply grateful he so thoroughly identifies with the people in charge or he'd have had a mountain of legal problems and a criminal record.)
