Is Ocasio-Cortez pretending to be working class when she’s really not?

smart on in the sense that she's opportunistic and knows upon which people to prey - And they AIN'T the smarts ones, folks!

She is a political charlatan.

Unlike Trump, who is also genuinely working class.

They're both hot air - true opportunists. Trump went R b/c he saw the chance to capitalize on a group who felt threatened. AOC is no different. She's a twitter twit who loves to believe she's the savior of a fearful, quiet underclass.

two ends of the spectrum, same objective, similar methods

Divide and conquer . . . Refer to the women's march if you want evidence to support Macchievelli's successful method.

But Trump isn't a Twitter twit. No way.

Unfortunately, your response was nowhere close to clever.

However, if I'm reading you correctly, you're coming back at me, insinuating that I believe Trump's twitter rants are OK. If you read my post correctly, you'd see that I noted they were "two ends of the spectrum." So while I didn't directly come out and label Trump as a twitter twit, it's understood that he, too, loves misusing Twitter to further his agenda.

all good now?

No. How does Ocasio-Cortez misuse Twitter to further her agenda like Trump?

Have you ever raised teenagers? or taught them?

If not, you certainly don't get AOC.

I get her. I don't think you do.

Well then you've met your immature match - all hot air, no experience, little action.

Likes attract likes.

Likes do attracts likes, and AOC, at 29 years of age, will be interacting with her peers who are in their 60s and 70s. That is exhibiting an advanced level of maturity by any definition. The fact that you don't recognize that betrays your teenaged critical thinking skills. Maybe next time you get the urge to criticize AOC, you should keep your mouth closed and let the grown ups do the talking, because it's obvious you can't offer anything of substance.

I don’t know her so i’m not judging her personally, but the idea that anyone inCongress has “advanced level of maturity” just for being there is laughable. If that was true, they’d get more work done.

Like any politician, there is a bit of storytelling...

Trump’s self made billions, blumenthal’s Vietnam service.

But I would also say, as someone not disposed to like her politics, she’s a lot closer to working class than 95% of her congressional peers.

She seems pretty shallow and uninformed.

It's one thing to storytell a bit...but Mr. Blumenthal stated that he could remember the taunts and physical abuse he experienced in VietNam....yet he was never there!

Unlike Trump and AOC, I don't tweet 24-7 and get into online spats with haters. If she were mature enough to understand the definition of decorum, she would not respond. Fighting back with one-liners isn't my idea of maturity. Perhaps it's yours, however. To each his or her own, I guess.

Until she walks the walk and shuts up online, I will continue to laugh at her superficial efforts.

He was in the service during the Vietnam years. Anyone wearing a uniform then was taunted, especially in the US.

Reagan claimed to have helped liberate concentration camps during World Ward II when in fact he spent the war in Culver City, California. Based on that, Republicans should worship Blumenthal.

PP here. I don't think highly of either of them and have similar low regard for Trump.

Which is worse? pretending to save lives or pretending to be president?

I prefer honesty, even if I don't agree with the person. Can't stand lying..

Her website calls her parents “working class.”

Is a credentialed architect with a home in Westchester County and apartment in the Bronx working class?

Everyone else is lying and stretching the truth, so I might as well. Yeah I cheat on my taxes, but only a little. It teases out a character defect; you’ll suspend ethics to get ahead. Why not own it that your parents worked hard and gave you a good life in a well-off suburb? When you left at age 5, calling yourself Alex from the Bronx is appropriating of a lifestyle you did NOT steep in.

Everyone in this thread would relentlessly hammer the Hillbilly Elegy writer if he went and won a seat in Appalachia Kentucky. And for good reason. You’d call him a disengenuous and opportunist carpetbagger who grew up in a pleasant Ohio town, not hardscrabble dead end Kentucky.
