I don’t get it. You agree with closing this thread because it has run it’s natural course, and then you proceed to spar with the one person who has contributed the most to its demise.Quote:

That’s because the media you watch focuses on AOC and not Boebert.Quote:

Is she or is there just so much, much, much more liberal media out there?Quote:

Maybe Ms. Ocasio-Cortez gets attention because much of what she advocates (wage equality, civil rights, abortion, global warming mitigation, election reform, universal health care) finds strong support among the American population.

Don’t you think it’s just as obsessive that CNN always talks about a representative who really has no power? I mean do we need videos and articles about her being banned from Twitter?Quote:

Don’t really care don’t watch it. How do they cover AOC over at Fox/OANN? Pretty similar I imagine.Quote:

I mean she’s a no name politician who holds no power so who cares what she says? Isn’t that what you guys say about AOC at least?Quote:

Difference is there isn’t a 500 page thread on Greene because we care so much about what she says, unlike AOC.Quote:

AOC has been around and covered by the media much longer.Quote:

Remember when they said that the internet would enlighten the masses.
It has. The amount of information casually available to pretty much everyone on the planet is wildly more than ever before.Quote:

The problem is the incorrect information is as easily available as the correct information and there's not much to tell you which is which.Quote:

They're among the worst, but no state has done well here.Quote:

That's not an actual concern of yours though. We know your stance on Covid, the vaccine, etc.Quote:

Sometimes things pop up that cast some doubt. And attending these bougie events are bad optics.
But all I know is "tax the rich" blew up on Google. It's good politics. It got people talking. I don't care about any of the culture war BS that consumes the right. I just want better things man. So hell yeah, spread the gospel AOC! It's time to tax the rich!
You know the culture war is consuming the left too right? Note the post between my post and yours.Quote:
