House Democrats Don't Know What to Make of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

She is blinded by her own perceived celebrity and is incredibly short-sighted.

This is another situation in which the question "what is the object of this exercise" would be valuable. Is the object of the exercise to hear her cheering fans praise her, or is it to actually get something accomplished? Obviously, the former.

She is a classic example of sacrificing the ultimate on the altar of the immediate.

I didn't get smoked in the midterms, Jimmy - put down whatever it is you're smoking.

She said the world will end in 12 years due to global warming so I guess we don't need to spend all that money on free health care and college, right?

12 years, 50 years, 2 billion years... the important thing isn't being "precisely, factually, and semantically correct" but rather "morally right."

Yes I know, denial is apparently a characteristic of conservative twebbers. You're going to get to deny that you got smoked again in 2020 as well.
