this is one of those songs you have to hear in all its glory:

It stuns me that AOC's opinion is granted any credibility.

Popularity is its own currency.

That's just the way politics works is it not?

That’s what I meant.

Her public/online popularity has given her added political currency. Her word against Cuomco holds greater weight than a normal junior congresswoman would normally have.

yep, and it's a self feeding cycle when those with opposing views deem her a threat. I'd honestly have had no idea who any of the squad were if it wasn't for republican/conservative spheres online constantly engaging in attacks against them

It’s funny how scandals work, throwing him under the bus so he doesn’t have to answer questions about the nursing homes?

Could also be her qualifications, graduating cum laude, from a highly respected university.

I didn’t mean it in a disqualifying or negative sense. It is hard to acquire and retain her level of popularity.

And those qualifications are another form of currency. There are other junior politicians with those type of qualifications, but do not possess as much clout or influence as AOC. All credit to her.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Yeah, popularity doesn't happen in a vacuum. She's popular because she's highly intelligent, charismatic, a savvy political operator and, perhaps most of all, she regularly demonstrates sincere, genuine empathy and compassion, a quality sadly lacking in much of the political stock both here and the US.

Some of the freshmen Republicans are certifiable morons - Boebert and Greene-Taylor for example - and have nowhere near her actual proven intelligence or skills or qualifications.

And are on the same path in terms of media currency and popularity in their own party.

That said, the GOP abandoned any actual tether with the real world four or five months ago.

Won’t get any arguments about those two from me. Very much yokel types.

The bolded is important. It's frightening that people attack her mercilessly and at the same time are supportive of the person who embodies the opposite, Trump.
