It's great to see these young fresh women Dems hit the ground with even more vigor than the Tea

[malaise]

party goons ten years ago.
That's why ReTHUGs are attacking them. They are great for the Democratic Party.

[democratisphere]

1. Things that are great for the Democratic Party are often twisted

and made great for the redumbliCON party. Something to think about.

[malaise]

2. They have a propaganda hate machine that works 24/7

I don't know why folks give them so much free coverage on progressive web sites.

[watoos]

8. I agree, some bad stuff about her here on DU.

She is hated because she has the ability to change the right wing M$M narratives.
The Libertarians who own the M$M are afraid of her positions on climate change, are afraid a carbon tax may get imposed on them. The Libertarians who own the M$M are afraid of her positions on income inequality, are afraid that they may have to pay their fair share of taxes. The Libertarians who own the M$M are afraid of her positions on health care that we may fix the for profit system that doesn't work that we have now. The Libertarians who own our M$M are afraid that AOC may get money out of politics and stop the rich from buying politicians.

This is what AOC stands for, and last I checked, those were main stream Democratic positions.

Al Franken had the ability to change the right wing narratives so they got rid of him. Let's get behind AOC so that they don't pull a Franken on her.

[pazzyanne]

10. Agree wholeheartedly.

I am still upset about what happened to Al Franken, and don't want the Republicans to put that crap on any other Democrat. EVER!

[malaise]

14. Great post

[olegramps]

19. My faith is that they are on the side of right, truth and justice. Everythine Republicans despise.

[malaise]

20. +1,000

[handmade34]

3. smarter

more smarts as much as more vigor

[malaise]

4. Oh yes

Way smarter.

[Clash City Rocker]

26. Man smart, woman smarter

Just look at the difference in how they vote. Speaking as a white man, I sometimes wish white men weren’t allowed to vote.

[malaise]

27. Well speaking as a not young woman

I have encountered many very smart women and men over these decades.
I think socialization has given the edge to one or the other in specific areas but even those barriers have been broken. We need both and thankfully more are on our side - PERIOD

[Vinca]

5. I'm so impressed. Besides being incredibly smart, they don't have a timid bone among them.

[malaise]

6. They have wind in their sails from the

blue tsunami

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

7. They are a breath of fresh air...our next generation of leaders to be sure.

[Roland99]

9. Brava!

[beachbum bob]

11. nothing places GOP attack dogs in their place like smart women

and its no win for the GOP when they do attack. Alienate more women, drive more independents to democratic party

[Magoo48]

13. Agree, nothing scares conservatives like strong, smart women.

[beachbum bob]

17. it is their worse nightmare: educated, intelligent and female. Eveything they stand against. Only

thing worse is substituting "black man" or "black woman" in for female

[malaise]

28. You nailed it

I sure like what I'm seeing so far

[DownriverDem]

12. Yes it is

However I don't care for their attacks on the Dems. There are way more serious issues with the repubs.

[NewJeffCT]

16. If AOC has really found somebody to primary Hakeem Jeffries

who is a fairly progressive member of the House caucus and a passionate and charismatic speaker, I'll lose a lot of respect for her.

If she wants to primary conserva-Dems in safe districts, that is fine with me (the guy in TX that is in a Clinton +20 district but votes with Trump 69% of the time for one...)

[samnsara]

18. i agree.. i dont like where this is heading....

..the dem party can be snookered just as easily as the GOP.. well maybe NOT so easily but snookering can always happen when we least expect it. we have to always stay smart.

[NewJeffCT]

15. Very happy this is happening

they just need to be ready for when the media jumps on them for something that will likely be taken completely out of context - I'm sure it is coming, especially for AOC. We already had the "dance" video and the fake nude pictures - I'm sure they'll keep grasping at straws until they find something that sticks.

[bdamomma]

21. or turn the tables

like what AOC did yesterday, #Where'sMitch

that was great.

I'm really tired of seeing white ole racist men in the Congress, like step down retired, don't they have enough fucking money?? Oh silly me, they don't.

[malaise]

23. That was simply brilliant

Call them out

[ananda]

22. Yeah! Go Dem Women!!!

..

[Wounded Bear]

24. These women are genuine. The Tea Party was always fake...

astroturf, bullshit...use your favorite descriptor.

[malaise]

25. Excellent point

I'll add racist to the core

[dalton99a]

29. Their core organizers were anti-Obama racists paid for by the Koch brothers

[Scurrilous]

30. K&R
