Tour around Media Matters for America sometime. The trolls are absolutely obsessed with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez.

These pro-corporate douchenozzles out themselves a little more each time they cozy up to scumbag corporatists like Amazon and try to knock real Democrats down. AOC is not my fave, but she’s running circles around the sellout crowd at the moment.

But you don't find many of the more conservative democrats around here ... let alone any of them bashing "leftist loony Socialists" around here. They'd get alerted out of existence in no time.

We need to quit fighting each other and focus our energy against the real enemy ... tRump and his grifters; and the rest of the Republican Party.

Democrats are about corporate accountability. To smear opponents and cover bad deals and corporate giveaways up with NDAs is not what a good Democrat does - it’s what a pro-corporate douchnozzle (of any party) does.

Democrats are better than that, and the Problem Solvers and Justice people had best realize it right quick.

Must say,during the last Election Cycle,it was such a pleasure to volunteer along side of may young people resembling AOC . Sad to say,so many of our Generation just do not have a Friggin clue or they are just plain walking Bigots waiting to die off.

This old white chick feels the same way. It's going to be their country and we'll be gone, so let them decide what sort of country they want to live in.

I just love how younger women of today are taking women's rights to the next level.

If someone is an avid supporter, it might look that way.

They don't like her...her manner can be annoying to some. And she's far left, calling herself a Democratic Socialist instead of Democrat. She represents everything they hate. Just like Bernie does. Except Bernie's been around and is experienced...if they feared anyone on the far left, it would be Bernie. He got a lot of votes to be the nominee.

They have an entire media arm that can go after her amd use her as a prop to rally their base around. They don’t fear her they relish her.

I remember how they treated Pres. Carter, "The hick farmer from Georgia" as some repugs called him. They started their obstruction schtick right after the election, too.

scream loud and relentlessly, drive political discourse to their framing.

What I don't and never will get is how the country falls for this shit EVERY GD time.

The next actual problem republicans solve will be the first.

Their only answer is tithing the rich, while going to absurd extremes to portray reasonably policy driven initiatives to solve problems as the greatest threat to democracy of all time - efforts to address global warming, efforts to improve health care, ect.

I have had heart burn over it since the early 90s, but it only has gotten WORSE how much the country indulges them.

BHO was WEAK and whatever all else, they twisted themselves into pretzels to make a decent, thoughtful and competent POTUS into the complete opposite of what he is - in their deranged minds to the day they die HE is responsible for "making race relations worse" in the country.

The complete rejection of reality they had with him in that way is matched with convincing themselves 45 is some awesome POTUS instead of being the craven, deranged, relentless corrupt psychopath he is.
