Official AOC Corruption Thread: #SquadGoals

no one is complaining about the function of funding a project. she's highlighting the fact that participants in government contracts face zero ramifications for their decisions and putting a company on record that has a lengthy history of treating its customers and stakeholders like shit
 
"so you were ok with the construction contract to build the internment camps?"

"yeah, all the permits were in order. wgaf?"
 
don't worry little red lubette, some of us are still fans

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has become a household name since her stunning primary win last summer, but her popularity has not kept up with her newfound fame.

In September, just after she burst onto the national stage by ousting ten-term incumbent Joe Crowley in the Democratic primary in New York’s 14th district, about half of American adults either did not recognize Ocasio-Cortez’s name or had no opinion of her, according to a Gallup poll released Friday. By this month, only 29 percent said the same.

In the interim, as the number of Americans forming opinions about the 29-year-old lawmaker has grown, her net-favorability ratings have declined. Where in September 24 percent of respondents viewed her favorably and 26 percent viewed her unfavorably, today 31 percent view her favorably and 41 percent view her unfavorably.

It remains to be seen whether the drop in net favorability will affect Ocasio-Cortez’s ambitious policy goals, including her Green New Deal plan to address climate change. The plan has excited the Democratic grassroots, but it has also been derided by many as unrealistic. President Trump has panned the plan as socialist and compared it to a “high school term paper that got a low mark,” while Democratic House speaker Nancy Pelosi has called it a “green dream.”

The Gallup poll data shows that the reason for her decline in popularity has come because of growing opposition from Republicans, men, whites, and voters over 55. A shocking development, I know.

"The congresswoman is viewed negatively by most Republicans, of whom 73% have an unfavorable view of her -- up from 52% in September. Only 5% of Republicans view Ocasio-Cortez favorably -- resulting in a net favorable rating of -68 among this party group. The fact that Republicans are more likely to have an opinion of her than Democrats helps explain her overall net-negative rating.

Ocasio-Cortez is also underwater in her net favorable ratings among men (-24), whites (-24) and adults aged 55 and older (-22)."

Among Democrats, btw, she has a net favorable rating of 41 points, and she also has net favorables among women, minorities, and Millennials. Again, shocking news.

But I learned in the Cohen discussion that asking questions can’t be grandstanding

I'd add that's what white supremacy looks like. It's the specific idea that the opinions of white men are more important than the opinions of everyone else.

This is the latest in bullshit pseudo-psych-shrink-wrap..

More leftist clap trap.

Nothing disingenuous about calling Ocasio Cortez a fraud. She is. She is also an igno-fuggin-ramus to boot.

She is yours and you get to keep her.

good thing she didn't say "white supremacy." The house might have to pass another anti-hate resolution.

Ok, but what she is not telling you in that twitter rant is that she is also losing ground in polling numbers with women, millennials, and minorities since the election with is contributing to her polling numbers.

But the main reason for her drop in approval rating in the Gallup poll isn't from women, minorities, or Millennials - it's from men, whites, voters over 55, and Republicans. Not exactly a shocking development. Even Fox News has admitted as much:

"Overall, the results suggest that Ocasio-Cortez may be a polarizing figure. Most of her support is galvanized around younger, more diverse Democrat-leaning groups, while most of her opposition is composed of Republicans and more conservative Democrat-leaning groups.

Nearly three-quarters of Republican respondents say they view her negatively, with only 5 percent having a positive view. Among the Democrats, 56 percent of respondents had a favorable view of Ocasio-Cortez, compared to only 15 percent of the Democrats polled who don’t support her.

She’s also favored by adults 18 to 34, people of color and women. Yet she’s facing a favorability deficit among men (-24), whites (-24), and adults 55 or older (-22)."

Yeah, but who cares what people outside her district think. They don't get to vote for her anyway.

That may be technically true, but the numbers need context. She's becoming more well known. When her original polling numbers came out, she was barely known outside her district. And in her district, which is super blue and obviously fairly progressive at worst, of course she's super popular. Now that more people know her, obviously those numbers are going to go down, that's how sample sizes work. But her point still stands, she's more popular than unpopular with nearly every demographic group except old white men, which she obviously isn't ever going to get on her side.

So what you're not telling us is whether you don't understand basic statistics or whether you're just a troll.

6: AL GORE SAYS 10 YEARS ARE LEFT IN 2006

In 2006, while promoting his movie “An Inconvenient Truth”, Al Gore said that humanity had only 10 years left before the world would reach a point of no return.

Gore’s movie also featured animations of water inundating Manhattan and Florida.

Yet Gore’s critics point out that just a few years later, he bought an $8 million beach-front property near Los Angeles.

or how about this for donkey logic:

Williams also cites Senator Timothy Wirth, a Democrat from Colorado, who said in 1988: "We've got to ... try to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong ... we will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy."
