Big whiny baby
Hur hur, why would she be scared? Why would she tell us about being scared? Hur hur.
I wonder if it’s at all possible that one reason she was scared is because people like Trump and Cruz and tabloid tv like Fox News have been making her a target ever since she was elected.
So is he saying she’s weaponizing her fear? Because that would make her a TERF, right?
I have despised Ted Cruz since the day I became aware of him, because he has always said awful things. And done awful things.
If Cruz and Trump are the best the GOPers have for 2024, they’re in trouble. The Republican party is toxic as hell right now.
If they take the House in 2022 it doesn’t matter how toxic they are… They can just reject the results of elections going forward.
triltier: Unfortunately, so is much of the “conservative” electorate. Steeping someone for years, no decades, in a toxic brew (hey, “tea party” may be appropriate!), can pickle their morals. No matter how “Christian” they claim they are
For one so young she certainly has a damned good insight into the way the system is stacked in favour of the Cruze’s and has the desire and motivation for change. Oh that there were more of her, and fewer Pelosis, Bidens, Manchins, et al.
@ Roj Blake, she’d have to come to her senses on the TWAW nonsense though, or she and her ilk would condemn the Democrats to electoral oblivion.
Arcadia, I am forever hopeful that this will go the same way as the Satanic Panic, Recovered Memory Syndrome, the Y2K fiasco, etc. It seems that each decade we latch on to some new fad that has the life span of Yo Yo competitions.

Also a white colonialist. In this instance, however, AOC’s case is not helped by the fact that she shares her surmane with Hernan, the Spanish conquistador who brought down the Aztek Empire and so turned the land into a Spanish colony.
Let’s hope that the woke warriors are as ignorant of history as they are of biology. And feminism. And the meaning of words. And civil discourse. And…well, pretty much everything that matters, I suppose.
Damnit Roj, you had to mention the Y2K ‘fiasco’, didn’t you? And we were getting along so well ;)
Y2K was very real (and we ought to have learned from it in these pandemical times). There were no huge disasters, planes falling out of the sky, cats living with dogs etc, not because there wasn’t a problem to begin with but because people like me did marriage-threatening amounts of work to make sure they didn’t.
The fact that we might incidentally have made quite large sums of money doing it in no way detracts from our status as brave heroes cough.
Joking aside, Y2K really was a very serious problem and lots and lots and lots of work was done because it was recognised to be such well in advance. Fortunately it was fairly easy (though expensive) in most cases to sort out. I could tell some stories about cases that were not easy to fix, though.
The ‘fiasco’ part was, as usual, the press with its dire warnings and doomsaying followed by “pffft. all these geeks were talking bollocks, the idiots” on New Year’s Day.
It occurred to me recently that the current generation of software developers entering the workforce weren’t even born in Y2K…
