Lol. Yeah.Then maybe she should just be quiet in the issue. She has nothimg more to say b cause she has lost all credibility.
Thanks for replying. I have no problem calling a Democrat a hypocrite but people on this thread have been very vague on the details.So the CDC is cool with people congregating in large groups and hugging strangers?

I haven’t seen her hugging, can you point me to that? Not that I think it makes her a hypocrite because I’m not aware of her criticizing others for hugging …
But outdoors, there are no mask mandates and yes in my very liberal state people can congregate outdoors unmasked.

Be specific please. My state follows CDC guidelines and we do all of those things that AOC did. We don’t wear masks outside or seated at a restaurant.
No idea
I don't think there's much opportunity for that...she posted it on her own twitter feed

Although the last part, about her "encouraging everyone to follow all CDC guidelines" is a bit ironic, considering she was partying maskless at bars in Florida. (which means she wasn't following their guidelines)
Sort of a "do as I say, not as I do" sort of thing...
" muh rights"?Shouldn't be a problem for AOC -- she can work remotely for a week without breaking down into hysterical sobbing over "muh rights!"
I find it difficult to take the charges of hypocrisy seriously from supporters of Donald "I voted for a president not a pastor" Trump.
What about those of us who didn't vote for him? lol.
I've been calling her a hypocrite in this thread...but I don't even disagree with what she did at a basic level.
I took a vacation to Florida in late October. I, like her, was a vaccinated person in their 30's, I don't have any kids or elderly people living in my house, don't have any comorbidities, and knew my net risk was low, so I opted to go somewhere where I could have some fun.
The difference is, I haven't been portraying DeSantis as the "merchant of death" for the last 6 months, and haven't been pushing for policies that would stopped other 30-somethings in my own locale from enjoying the kind of fun I had down in FL.
My stance has been pretty consistent on this one.
Get vaccinated, get boosted (when you're eligible), that's all you can feasibly do to reduce strain on the hospitals...beyond that, get out and life your life. I likely caught my case of Omicron in a grocery store while doing some mundane weekly grocery shopping (despite being vaccinated and boosted). It was mild, the vaccines did their job, I "did my time" staying home and isolating...I'm back out to visiting with friends again and doing the things I want to do. Flying down to Austin TX in 2 weeks actually.
When people have made the kinds of statements she's made, and supported the kinds of policies she's supported, she kind of boxed herself in a corner.
When you're a politician or person in the spotlight, while being idealistic may have it's perks in terms of "drawing a fan base", unless you can 100% commit to those ideals long-term, there's a benefit it being a little more moderated and pragmatic.
For instance, nobody would bash me if they saw me eating some mozzarella sticks at a restaurant. It would be an "egg on the face" moment for a high ranking member of PETA if they were spotted doing the same.
We are all hypocrites to one degree or another. You calling her a hypocrite I take no issue with. Frankly the rights obsession with her is a bit over the top. I think because she is someone they can easily demonize rather then her more moderate contemporaries.

My mistake, that was another user in post 89. Thanks for helping me refute it.
