But she can't respond to every single idiotic attack. There are way too many of them. What if Obama tweeted responses to all the BS coming from the far right?

When they see stuffy old men whining about dancing, it helps spread how stupid and backwards Conservatives are.

I thought she was awesome when she was running for office. He reaction to this idiocy about her dance video has been a master class in how to deal with trolls. YMMV

That is an inspired choice. Woman is there to change things. The aged RW authoritarians are not going to keep up.

Eat their lunch and drink their milkshake.

The GOP ain't winning another culture war argument, probably not in my lifetime.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has read Voltaire, I think:

J'ai toujours fait une prière à Dieu, qui est fort courte. La voici: Mon Dieu, rendez nos ennemis bien ridicules! Dieu m'a exaucé.

in English:

I always made one prayer to God, a very short one. Here it is: "O Lord, make our enemies quite ridiculous!" God granted it.

Bonne chance.

Yep; he was a man of his time, certainly, but he had solid insight into politics and his society, and he fought hard for civil rights and liberties.

And he could turn a phrase.

If she can capture and keep the attention of young voters she can do whatever she wants. I do think she should be careful about being used at some point. If she has good ideas and can do a good job in government why should she shed her personality and penchant for having fun?
