AOC's 'Red Light' district ruled by violent migrant gang taken down by feds

As I stated before, if this was a right wing politician you would be all over their failure in their districts.

I doubt that. No one is going after Ted Cruz for the floods in Texas. Local officials are taking the heat.

I’ve seen the far left side of your party go after people. It’s ugly.

 

[Hentenza]

Oh, yes you did. You claimed I would be "all over" any right wing politician with bad thing happening in their legislative district.

And that insulted you? I do apologize if that was the case.

Whoop-de-doodle. Do you have an example of a Congresscritter being held to account for crime in their district by a national media outlet like the Fox News article of the OP?

I have no clue what you are asking me or where you are going with this.

Not surprising you want to back away from your insinuation of hypocrisy without any evidence.

If I understood what it is you want then maybe we can have a conversation.

1. Still waiting on them quotes of AOC that evidences her stupidity.
2. Example(s) of major News sources trying to tie members of the United States House of Representatives to crimes within their Districts
3. Something more than sophomoric “my team good, you team bad”; it’s a great starting point, (to be sure) but there’s got to be other arrows in the quiver.

Not falling for that. I used the state of her district to show how inadequate and stupid she is.

2. Example(s) of major News sources trying to tie members of the United States House of Representatives to crimes within their Districts

Never made that argument. My argument, in case you couldn’t follow it, is that as their representative she should represent them and follow up on the crime surges in her district. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston used to do that frequently.

3. Something more than sophomoric “my team good, you team bad”; it’s a great starting point, (to be sure) but there’s got to be other arrows in the quiver.

Never made the argument “my team good your team bad”. I said AOC bad.

BTW, as an independent what is my team?

 

[Hans Blaster]

Yes, I don't appreciate people implying thing about me without evidence, particularly underhanded or dirty tactics.

I do apologize if that was the case.

I accept it in the spirit it was given. Cheers.

Team Bad Faith Argumentation.

 

[Hentenza]

Team Bad Faith Argumentation.

You made a funny. You are yet to engage in any part of the argument. You even accused me of making an argument that I didn’t make so maybe you belong to the aforementioned team.

ETA: AOC still bad.

 

[Pommer]

Stupid is one of the main ones. You don‘t really want to start with the quotes do you?

Quote away.

Let’s start by what she has done to her district. This is about being as stupid as it gets. She talks all kinds of political rhetoric that has made her a superstar in DNC circles but she will do to America what she has done to her district.

“Major crime rose by an eye-popping 70% in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Bronx and Queens district since the ‘defund the police’ socialist lawmaker took office in 2019 — more than double the citywide increase of 30% over that same span, a Post analysis of NYPD data shows.

The 110th Precinct in Queens, which covers part of the infamous “Market of Sweethearts” human-trafficking and prostitution mecca on Roosevelt Avenue, saw a 105% surge, the highest increase of any NYC precinct in that period.

Major crimes consist of murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and auto theft.”

Major crimes consist of murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and auto theft.

So, the quotes that you’d alluded to were about how dissatisfied some of her constituents are with her, not quotes of the Congresswoman saying something stupid, (like, say, [Sectarian] spacer lasers, or peach-tree dishes)?

Never made that argument. My argument, in case you couldn’t follow it, is that as their representative she should represent them and follow up on the crime surges in her district. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston used to do that frequently.

This argument would hold more water if were a state-representative rather than the Federal Representative for the district.
And yes, Representatives represent all of their constituents be they criminals or not.

Never made the argument “my team good your team bad”. I said AOC bad.

BTW, as an independent what is my team?

You still haven’t made your “AOC bad” case yet; disgruntled constituents aside…she keeps getting reelected.
Independent in name only I’d wager.

Awww the progressive is disappointed. I couldn’t care less of your opinion. Bring some evidence to the table. The point that I made is factual and irrefutable unless now you claim that she cares about her constituents and fights for them. I suspect that would be crickets.

It is those that hold your view that gave us Trump. Maybe if she was more involved with her constituents she would not be so tone deaf about what the people want. After all that was the message that cost your party the election.

It hasn't seemed to cost her an election yet.

That is surprising. Maybe people will wise up.

We’ll know in 16 months, huh?

Yep but still doesn’t not charge her crime numbers and her lack of care for her district. I’m sure she’ll show up to campaign.

Btw: you sure seem to be defending her a lot. A politician. Is she your hero?

Who else have we got right now? Anyway, the Republicans and the neoLib Democrats hate her, so she must be doing something.

The question is, will that scale/play at larger levels of government.

If people think she'll be able to run for higher offices above the district level, and not have to change/temper any of her positions, they'd be sorely mistaken.

The things that play in queens don't play as well in the southern & midwestern states and rust belt.
