... that she has no idea what's going on. As one commenter said... we have the Electoral College to protect us from ignorant people like her....

Don't even bother with this spoiled, entitled, brain washed Marxist. She has a 50.8% disapproval rating in her own district. Her approval rating is in the low 20s. Only 13% in her district say they will definitely vote for her in 2020, and out of all the money she has raised, only $1,538 has come from her district. She may be worshiped by many of the millennial Marxists, but the folk who's votes she actually has to win, don't like her.

She is in over her head, and had no business in Congress. If she wins a second term the people in her district deserve her. If this is the future of the Democratic party it will cease to exist, or should be renamed the Socialist non working freeloaders party.

But can you actually dispute what she said?

I'd be interested in hearing actual arguments for why she is wrong.... because the comment saying "we have the electoral college to protect us from ignorant people like her" is not a valid argument. We could easily say the electoral college unfortunately gives more weight to ignorant voters like the person making that comment

The college didn’t protect us from a game-show host. I doubt if it will protect us from someone like AOC.

the agrarian economy, and all the imperfections that propped up the wealthy farm owners, that produced the 3/5th rule no longer exists...Americans can choose to live where ever they want and engage in a variety of occupations...agriculture is no longer the primary industry.... there are no outsized industries that are so important to the existence of the nation that we need an artificial manner to "equalize the representation" for folks who live in low population states...

but the reality is that there are too many low population states, and people who live in them enjoy their advantage and will effectively oppose any effort to create a more pure representative form of democracy...

as for AOC, I'll wager a fiver of good cigars that she'll be re-elected...any and all takers...

there'll be more like her and the rest of the "squad," as the millennials awaken politically and elect people who share their political values...

the change is coming, she is part of the first wave ... the old status quo can get outraged and name call as loudly as they want, but they will watch their era of dominance in American politics ebb...it's interesting to note that the status quo hung their futures on peeps like Cantor and Bachman, who exited the scene pretty quickly without leaving much of a mark...

I view AOC as being like Bachmann and think will have the same fate.

She isn't anything special. Appears to be within the average intelligence range at least.

I find it hilarious that the same people who try to mock her for some lack of intelligence or complete craziness don't even blink when the orange menace demonstrates not only complete lack of intelligence, but a complete disinterest in gaining information.

She might become a good congressperson. She can learn a bit and act on it. But there's also a chance she'd just become a bernie sanders level politician.... Note, either of those two options still exceeds trumpenfurher's capabilities

she/Bachmann lasted longer than I thought (2 or 3 two year terms) ... what one thing will she claim as an accomplishment?

note: as an illustration of how the political landscape is changing, Ilhan Omar was elected in the neighboring district of Bachmann's....
