    AOC made up the embellishment. She told the reporter who felt no need to fact-check. It just didn't happen. The rest of the conversation happened, yes, just not in the "made for Hollywood" manner that Ale melodramatized for us in the House.

    Of course, I'm not implying that you don't somehow have the right to BELIEVE that Ale's account is the God's-honest truth. Someone's got to buy the tabloids.

    Sorry, you’re just wrong.

    Intelligent people realize she's not powerful.

    Powerful people don't need the built in demographic guarantee she has with the makeup of her district.

    Same with John Lewis and Elijah Cummings. Both elected from districts where the makeup was at or above 60% black and people think they got elected based on anything but skin color.

    AOC is powerful because she's influential, regardless of how she became influential. And because she's a woman, you hate her for being powerful.

    I love women! I just think she's an America hating asshole.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Yes, because she's a powerful woman. Fascists love women as long as they conform to gender roles.

    Seems like a pretty accurate description.

    The USA has lost WWIV to China with no other weapons but China Virus and some cash to buy democrats.

    If she was influential, she wouldn't need the built in guarantee. Influential people can do it without such things.

    Being influential just means that you have influence over lots of people. Whether or not she has a built in base is beside the point. Trump also has a built in base, but it doesn't mean he's not influential.

    A cult of personality, or cult of the leader, arises when a country's regime – or, more rarely, an individual – uses the techniques of mass media, propaganda, the big lie, spectacle, the arts, patriotism, and government-organized demonstrations and rallies to create an idealized, heroic, and worshipful image of a ...

    Look in my eyes, what do you see?
    The cult of personality
    I know your anger, I know your dreams
    I've been everything you want to be
    I'm the cult of personality
    Like Mussolini and Kennedy
    I'm the cult of personality

    You don't have to follow me
    Only you can set me free
    I sell the things you need to be
    I'm the smiling face on your T.V.
    I'm the cult of personality
    I exploit you still you love me
    I tell you one and one makes three
    I'm the cult of personality

    What built in base does Trump have?

    When she got elected because her district has a built in guarantee because of its demographics, that's not influence.

    Stupid people like Trump because they identify with him. He was always going to have support from low IQ people.

    Regardless of how AOC got elected, she now has influence over lots of people.
