And here’s a newsflash: I don’t think 20 years ago you was probably fit for Congress. So I am not sure what this “I was a loser too!” stuff is supposed to convince me of.
…I don’t think “6-year-ago” Ocasio-Cortez would have been fit for congress either. But she seems to be fitting in perfectly now. So I’m not entirely sure what you are trying to convince the rest of us about.
She actually isn’t in Congress yet.

… fit for Congress…/QUOTE]
You keep going back to this.
Please tell us what constitutes being “fit for congress” is.
I do? Hadn’t noticed.
…congrats!!! You win the debate! Well done you. You can’t expect “losers like me” from countries with a “fifth of the population of New York” to be able to handle a debate like this. I defer to your superior skills. How can I compete with such a devastating rebuttal?
Well that’s pretty good. You could definitely be a Republican Congressman with that style of error admission.
You try and read a lot into two words.
All I’ve done is point out again and again how you, despite claiming not much interest in her, have posted, I think, nearly 10% of all posts in the thread and nearly every one of them attempted to denigrate Miss O-C. You’ve been consistent and persistent in both posting and posting criticism (and all of it is elitist bullshit, IMO), all while trying to deny that you care much, if at all, about Miss O-C.
I don’t care about her. I’ll never vote for her. I won’t send her any money. But I do love noting when people’s words contradict themselves.
To keep you guys from continuing to make idiots of yourselves, I’ll remind you that I have said more than once that she seems an intelligent, go getter woman who’ll probably be a decent Congresswoman. I’ve defended her “gaffes” for the most part. You guys are freaking out because I said her resume was thin.
The resumes of the majority of 29-year-olds could be called “thin.”
Well, she would have been underage.
…your implication that I’m a “loser”, the conflation of “an anonymous posters opinion” with “a professional resume”, the inability to understand the point I was actually making, and the pointless nitpicking of a point that isn’t relevant to this thread (which was the entire substance of that particular post) makes you much more qualified to be a Republican Congressman than me in my most humblest of opinions. But as always your mileage may vary.
That’s a great point. It’s kinda what I’ve been saying.
In various forms but amounts to the same thing so yeah.
But nevermind that…you said it in the bit I quoted so even if just the once why not answer the request?
Please tell us what constitutes being “fit for congress” is.
Pro tip: Your comebacks need a shitload more succinctness.
No, sorry. Not accepting homework assignments at the moment. Fyi, I’ve said in various forms that AOC is fit for Congress.
…pro tip: you really need to learn how to concede when you’ve lost the debate.
Homework assignment?
I am asking you to clarify what YOU said.
Not willing to stand behind your own statements?
Well, there are different flavors of progressives, and some who are looking to get more time, who are thinking it is time for their close up.
Warren of course pops right up. She has been a leader, actually accomplishing things, for long time. Not her movement either of course.
Sherrod Brown big time.
Several others possibly planning to run for the nom for that matter claim a progressive mantle and certainly have embraced various progressive issues as their own … some with better histories to support their case than others.
Marcia Fudge and Keith Ellison have been in the news, Pramila Jayapal, Jan Schakowsky, Danny Davis, Luis Gutiérrez … quite a few others not getting as much press but I know who they are.
Cute. I bet you almost really think that.
