What do Democrats see in Ocasio-Cortez?

[FenderTL5]

And, as I said in my post, the only proposal of her’s that Dems have embraced is the Green New Deal which isn’t what conservatives portray it to be (as I said in my post).

Everything else in your post is conservative spin that most Dems don’t actually feel regarding AOC.

Conservatives fear AOC.

Agree.

For both good and bad, fear is a primary characteristic in the conservative political attitude.

They see promotion of the extreme lefts agenda. Period. Make no mistake about it, they don't care what it costs they want radical socialism and always have.

Lol, that is crazy funny.

That alpone doesn't answer the question of whether or not she has been promoted patronized, pushed forward, or put on a pedestal by party leaders in a way that is unusual considering her shortcomings.

Cmon. It isn't that a characteristic of liberal politics, too?

Consider all the "sky is falling" positions taken by liberal politicians and all the imaginary Nazis, actual Christian Evangelicals, and ordinary deer hunters they think are hiding under every bed? The world will be uninhabitable in only 12 years. The East and West coast states will be under water. Anything the president wants to do will make us the laughing stock of the world or else cause a dictatorship to descend upon us. And so on.

The things liberals fear probably exceed the same among conservatives.

There's seemingly been no love lost between Cortez and Speaker Pelosi.

Yeah, there's no precedent for that...

Pelosi may be privately wary of her or some of the things AOC says, but she still is outwardly a big supporter.

 

[Albion]

Maybe or maybe not. But I will defer to your point. Name for us another 29 year old Congressman or woman who, one month into her first elective office, has been so acclaimed and patronized by the bigwigs of her party.

I asked for examples of her being “promoted, patronized, pushes forward, or put in a pedestal by party leaders.” The only thing you have come up with is the Green New Deal which I addressed.

You saying so doesn’t make it true.

AOC walked into the chamber and punched the far right in the nose.

Hard!

Yes, they are fearful of her. They should be.

Nope, quite a few studies show that conservatives tend to de motivated by fear and liberals are open to new experiences. Your 2nd paragraph there is a straw man.

Which party leaders?

I think this article and it's statements from Pelosi, says something different.
Nancy Pelosi just threw some serious shade at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's 'Green New Deal' - CNNPolitics

 

[JacobKStarkey]

The right is yammering in fear about AOC.

 

[usexpat97]

AOC is young, and thus has a future. It's the same principle as American Idol contestants not being allowed to audition above age 30.

 

[JacobKStarkey]

The Trumpers would not be yelling about her if they were not worried.

 

[archer75]

Maybe or maybe not. But I will defer to your point. Name for us another 29 year old Congressman or woman who, one month into her first elective office, has been so acclaimed and patronized by the bigwigs of her party.

Do I really need to name the "equivalent" that involves someone who is a little older than 29 and not a woman?

 

[redleghunter]

The news media loves and so do a lot of Democrats. But why? She recently cost NY $24.5 billion in tax revenue and 143,000 jobs over 10 years as her and others got Amazon to scuttle plans for HQ2 in Long Island City.

Her Green Deal is a joke that would cost $53-93 trillion over 10 years.

She's basically a 15 watt bulb in a socket that requires 100 watts.

Why is the news media making such a big deal over her? I don't get it.

Apparently Speaker Pelosi may just be asking this question now as well.

 

[JacobKStarkey]

Why the fear of AOC?

All this excessive attention directed toward AOC and the Green New Deal are the signs of a desperate Republican Party "grasping at straws" in the hope that it will find issues with enough traction to avoid the debacle that they suffered in 2018!

The 2018 Interims were a referendum on President Trump and a 40 seat loss in the House was a stinging rebuke - shutting down the federal government for 35 days, declaring a "national emergency" to bypass Congress and failing to negotiate a deal with Kim Jong-un may solidify his core of 35% but he doesn't seem interested in expanding the base!

Congressional Republicans know that the Titanic is sinking - the only real question is whether its too late to jump ship or to go down with all hands by losing the Senate majority and the White House!
