MAGA men haaate an outspoken woman.
MAGA men haaate an outspoken woman.
❣️ Thanks 4 posting this. I saw it on my way out the 🏠 & meant 2 look it up, save it for myself -- 2 keep the ✊ alive in in my step. So many great communicators who are sincere & genuine w/ their truth. Jasmine Crocket, Maxwell Frost, Cory Booker, Eric Swalwell, Pete Puttigieg. ❤️ the Bern 2.
I adore her!!! I also noticed how quickly they tried to shut her up when she asked about WOMEN’S healthcare. Fucking misogynist pigs!
I'd like to amend your thought regarding your post ... Fucking "GOP" misogynist pigs! 💙🇺🇸
I figured the GOP part was assumed…..
Exactly this! That weasel wanted to get his dig in and not allow her to respond. F him. Our girl handled it with integrity and poise!
Fucking boomer.
Yes they do. Every right.
Roger Stone: a walking, talking masterclass in how to fail upwards. From Nixon's dirty tricks to...well, more dirty tricks. It's a career trajectory, I guess.
Who is going to pay attentions to a communist nut case like Roger Stone
MAGAts
Betcha that’s how that old coot goes, because that’s how Karma works!
stone is disgusting slime. I wish I could stop the world and watch him fall off.
Whiny Weber trying to goad her Pathetic
I love her
They treat her like she is a little girl. It is so infuriating
I know who she is, I don't know who he is. Based on his comment, I don't want to know who he is. I'm sick to death of Republicans and their cantankerous behavior!
"I don't yield to disrespectful men"
AOC Rules!
Guy thinks he's has huge balls talking to a woman like that. One well placed kick would put him down sobbing like a little girl with scraped knees!
I love your profile pic 😊
“Sobbing like a little girl” comment does not support the cause.
semantics...we know what she means
Ha ha ha... she has a point but, yours is better.
Once she got the floor, she did just that when she refused to yield! BOOM!
AOC is one of the few walls we have today who stands between us “public and autocracy becoming this country’s demise she is a true patriot and is not hiding her loyalty to appease corrupt politicians. It will be her & those like her that resist to save this nation
SHE'S A FUCKING ROCK STAR CONGRESS WOMAN!!!
Fuck yeah sister let him fucking have it
If that prick Weber didn’t know who he was talking to he quickly found out. Don’t mess with AOC!!
💯
and this little bitch Weber wouldn't have done this to another man- he's a coward.
You know it!
Murders in the Building- LOVE IT!!!
Me too! Now I’ve got that triplets song stuck in my head!
Exactly what I was gunna say, he’s a coward poc
Why don't you wear a suit? Why can't you ever wear a suit?! (the more important issues such as Medicaid need to wait because you aren't looking at THE MAN)
👏👏👏 Thank you AOC. 👏👏💙💙
They love propping her up because they think she’s the Dem Achilles’ Heel. Be careful what you wish for…
So rich, coming from one of the GQP most dramatic performers ...
AOC IS MOTHER FUCKIN’ AWESOME 👏 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“…And I will not yield to disrespectful men.”
He later apologized and she graciously accepted his apology.
True to the people. LOVE HER!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
BRAVO AOC!
What an excellent response. I’m so impressed. My respect for her just grows and grows
She is simply amazing. I love her -- AOC told that crooked-ass white man to go eff himself without telling him to go eff himself. Republicans are a disease.
This pissed me off so bad. These are the things that get your ass off that chair and out there protesting! June 14th! I can't wait.
Yes. Pugnacious Repugnican white men are gawd’s worst invention. 🎼🎶🎶 Celebrate AOC, come on!🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶 It’s a celebration! 🎵🎵🎶 It's time to come together It's up to you, what's your pleasure? Everyone around the world, come on! 🎶🎶🎵🎶 Kool and the Gang would love the adaptation😁
We really NEED her to unseat Chuck Schumer. With any luck, she can be instrumental in hand picking a replacement for her House seat!
👍
The professional version of
Is there a link to this for non BlueSky folks…?
💯
She is the Burt Reynolds to the Deliverance hickies….
“I will not yield to disrespectful men” - AOC
Boom Shaka laka!!!
She's the best 🚶♀️
I love her.
The Republican Party is completely depraved and disgusting.
No truer words. You work for us, you hear that maggots? you work for us
Who is that sissy man?
She’s incredibly compelling and you just can’t act like she’s not.
damn she got his ass good
Another republican shot to the foot. Ouch
Shes great
Love her. ❤️. Stop Women have voices.. let us be heard!
👍💙🙏💙👍
I don’t always agree with AOC on the issues of our day. But, I am becoming more and more aligned with AOC because she is I unafraid to speak truth to power. Thank you!!
Every day I see something like this, I love @aoc.bsky.social a little bit more. She's getting very good at Political Jiu-Jitsu. When the Dems take the House next year, they should elect her as speaker. That alone would explode countless MAGA heads.
Hopefully a few Republitards will choose seppuku. A convenient fate I'm willing to accept for them.
Don't hold your breath. They would happily die for their dear leader. But they have no shame, that's their superpower, and would never admit that they are wrong. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence. They must be driven out.
Prime example. Psm Bondi st her hearing yesterday.."I know you are, but what am I?" The entire time. Smdh
The arrogance, delusion and stunning incompetence of this MAGA crew will be their undoing. But they're gonna fuck up a lotta shit in the meantime.
His lackeys need to be charged with high crimes, sentenced while he's on his middle east tour, sent to a gulag from whence there is no return before he gets back. Upon his return, he has to nominate a new cabinet of idiots. Do this every time that boob goes anywhere. The end.
💯🙌🏼💙
AOC is also very well prepared when she participates in these meetings/hearings. She comes with receipts and asks the hard questions.
Yep. I’ve said many times that AOC is the Michael Jordan of the Dem party. Extraordinary natural talent, unrelenting work ethic and drive for excellence. The Dems should give her the ball and play defense as she dunks on the GOP again and again and again.
The geldings got their feelings hurt.🤣🤣🤣
As a horse vet, this comment got me itching to get my emasculators out 😂
That comment deserves a follow.👍😉
Im trying to imagine (without googling) what such a tool would look like, but all I'm coming up with is like a large melon baller.
There's condescension and there's patriarchy condescension but Dixie redneck patriarchy condescension may be the epitome.
I knew without reading his nameplate he had to be from somewhere in the South…
One thousand %
AOC just fucking gets it. Her, Jazzy, & Bernie understand the score. The rest need to follow in suit.
AOC is fighting against these ludicrous Republicans.
Respect the people enough to tell them the truth. Hiding, disguising, withholding, omitting, etc, the TRUTH is DISRESPECTFUL. The Constitution IS the PEOPLE. The Constitution is meant for ALL people, either born OR on US soil. Fundamental RIGHTS for ALL supercede bias beliefs of a few.
AOC you are a legend!
That was soooo good. I don’t like to cuss around here but Holy Fuck. AOC. Mic drop…
Men like Weber give me a pain no pill can remedy
I love her.
"The lady is out of order." He ain't seen ladies out of order.
Ohhh boy these white men are dumb.
🎯
Condescending a**holes. The kind of old white men who devote their entire lives to make the world a worse place.
But want a law to take away a little girls innocence...
Weber's just mad because AOC, as usual, is speaking the truth.
She is the best at it in the room and those old white Republicans feel uncomfortable. She batted them away like gnats.
*old white experienced republicans .... Batted them away like tiny tiny baby gnats * 🤔😂
Inferior, not experienced. The Repubs rule like autocrats. Dog-whistling tired racial & misogynist bs, lying or gullibly buying every unverified thing they hear on News Max. I was kind of shocked. Not one clever guy in the bunch. Dems were all superior in effort & skills. GOP is lazy, now.
Weber is a clown who is probably still suffering from all the female rejection he experienced in high school.🙄
and she's fully capable of speaking in complete sentences that constituents can understand and relate too-
💯
Call the morgue! We got a dead body over here.
I will not yield to disrespectful men. She said a mouthful right there!!
When will they learn that they can’t take her on face-to-face? She is too smart for them.
AOC, please don’t stop! I’m so proud of you!
She knocked it out of the park. I wish she would have included… I don’t work for your billionaires like you do, I work for the American people.
🙌🏼💙👍🏻
AOC is an American hero. Burn their snowflake asses.
Fantastic response!
these good ole boys sure are threatened by a strong woman...
Soon those “good old boys” will be out on retirement and we will have a new generation of men. The GenX in me only hopes we raised them all right. 🤞🏻
I can not wait! 👏👏👏
The Heritage Foundation, and other conservative groups like them have been targeting young white males online and feeding them their misogynistic, racist propaganda. They have been very successful at converting them politicly by making these boys and young men feel threatened and even endangered.
Yes, have seen this in play. Hoping when more comes to light about the true nature of that ploy and the people behind it, that its impact will decrease.
What a prick
Brilliant response to that ass wipe!
AOC ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She's my all-time favorite house rep.
Shes doing her job!! Whoever voted Weber in, deserves everything that happens to them.
Ohhh! This is like the 19th century, the way Republican male Weber is belittling Democrat female AOC.
😍
He thought he passive aggressively burned her so bad, in a manner that wasn't even earnest, but she leaned into it and came out the bigger person, just like she always does when a con steps to her!
youtu.be/n-kODkdNSgs?...
Gosh, that's so good, but hard to watch and feel. 🥹😢
As usual, Bruce says it straight out….. I hope that he doesn’t have any problems getting back to the US.
💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️
What a smug asshole, who then gets mad at her for asking him questions “for the camera” despite looking him square in his dumb face.
“I will *not* yield to disrespectful men.” 🔥🔥🔥
They need to see everything that the stupid Republicans are not doing for them so that means the only way you can change this people is if you vote these assholes out we have to vote them out!
Gezus! Accuse AOC of grandstanding and ignore the question by grandstanding! I love the reframing of who they are serving and why. AOC is a national treasure! Weber is the worst political hack imaginable.
She talked to me! My political crush talked to me! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
You're worthy! 💙🗽💙🗽💙
I don’t know that I could be more sick of maga trash. Is this the limit?
Old fart meets future president (my prediction).
Absolutely
What are the GOP senators and Congress members waiting to work for their constituents and protect them against what the Orange Clown’s administration is doing. When will they fight against the corruption displayed by the Orange Psycho?
Nothing like those older misogynistic, White Male Southern voices trying to put the young Gentlelady of Hispanic descent in her "god-given", subservient place. 🤮. Those men represent every reason why we continue apace into our accelerating shithole status as a country. (Read "Albion's Seed")
AOC has infuriated the MAGA Repubs by drawing viewers to the video coverage and speaking to their interests, instead of playing the crap 'use-the-protocols-to-kill-actual-discussion' gambit. She's provocative and refreshing---they hate that!
Totally and I believe that pays up. If you are in front of the TV those seconds she is talking to you and engaging with the viewer that's something I have not seen before. She is not doing third-person narrative but first person. No wonder that stung Webber
Thank you @aoc.bsky.social !🔥💪
She is awesome. We have AOC and Crockett. They have MTG and Boebert. We win.
So true!
And our are intelligent women that make valid points and not some hillbilly bullshit pushers. Hopefully, it was BS and not what they believe.
AOC is one of a handful of Democrats that has a spine. Unfortunately and sadly she will never get the opportunity to lead the party.
Found the redditor
Especially when people keep saying this in public. Please don’t.
You think by not calling out the hypocrisy at the centre of the Democratic Party will make it disappear?
I think when you attach defeatist ideas and words to a particular candidate (like saying she will never win) you hurt them. There are other ways to call out the hypocrisy.
Really? Does the name Bernie Sanders ring any bells - it’s a centrist party ran by Jellyfish privileged white men - who will never change and keep being defeated until they embrace a real left agenda that will guarantee all the things that a welfare net society that cares for people is achieved.
So you think being as radical and uncompromising on the left as MAGA is on the right is the best approach in a pluralistic society with 330 million different perspectives? Good luck with that. Most of us choose to live and vote in the messy, complex, actual reality that is a true Democracy.
Radical and uncompromising? What free health care, free education, maternity leave, enshrined workers rights and bodily autonomy are the same as the wacko shit that the Republican Nazi Party spews everyday - you’re on to a winning strategy there 😂
I absolutely agree with those goals but it requires working productively with various viewpoints to get there.
Thank you
When I hear the 'sadly, we may not see a lady be in the top position for a WHILE' nonsense, look at CEO's, AGs, Mayor's, govs, etc...that are women. It's fuckin possible and it WILL happen! ✊ Enough of the 'women' put down. That's what P2025 is all about.
And I would never use a term “lady” so demeaning
How is "lady" demeaning? Did I use the word in a downgrade meaning?🤔 Absolutely not. I used it in a very positive way. Maga have used FAR worse words, making women into subjects.
I find it offensive - it’s a way for dicks to belittle - as in the “the little lady” - and “the lady at home” you used it as a marker trying to score points - insinuating that I regarded AOC being female was somehow less.
Sorry it offends you, BUT, it depends on how it's used. "Ladies and gentlemen..." "these ladies have done a fine job" I don't care about 'scoring points'. Nice assumption, BTW. It's all about giving facts over the cult of ignorance.
You’re missing my point I want that more than anything - you’re deluded to believe they will let that happen - the rampant sexism and misogyny in the US makes it a pipe dream.
It'll happen if and only if we the people actually fight for it, rather than assume it'll happen simply because it happened in other areas (under pro-egalitarian conditions that the current powers that be are actively working to erode or outright demolish). That's reality, not "nonsense".
These guys are wimpy piss babies. They can’t handle questions. I’d feel embarrassed for them if I didn’t already have so much contempt.
💯
Take no shit from these guys. Thank you, Congresswoman!
She doesn't work for you. You don't work for "them" - your funders, your lobbyists, your SIGs. You WORK FOR US. US.

AOC Fighter for the people ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
This is what everyone was excited about?! I was wondering. She truly deserves all bonafides for standing up to the tRump clowns.
👏🏽👏🏿👏🏻👏🏼👏🏾👍🏾
But, sure, she can't lead Oversight... Because old guys and the old guard and their fecking cigars got the power. Call and support 1.800.David.Hogg.
From the trump party, lol... How many hate-rallies has that goober held? Embarrassing the entire nation for decades. But it was enjoyable to watch him make an ass of himself, even if he doesn't know it.
She gave respect to the American people who care enough to tune in to watch these hearings.
Good for her! 👏🏻 Man, the magat gop sure are a bunch of shit for brains, rude af sycophants, aren’t they?! They make me sick! 😡
Fuck Weber.
She’s good.
Thank you AOC!!
O U C H ! ! ! I love that final comment. Go @aoc.bsky.social!
I love her—I WILL NOT YIELD TO DISRESPECTFUL MEN!
Such a great line! Just like "I am speaking," it cuts straight to the point.
I feel sorry for the women in their lives that tolerate their fat flabby guts and big mouths that likely make creud sexist jokes while sucking down beers while their wives hide and cry in the bathroom.
Dick....excuse me, small dick.
Weber says, essentially: "I'm glad you're addressing Republicans. Now shut up." Good grief, what an ass.
She's Badass 💪💯🔥
Representatives like her are what we need to vote for in all our Districts #Vote
Sure sounds like somebody is getting under some peoples' skin. Let's have more of what she is doing.
The next senator from NY 🎉
I have come to love her. Didn't at first, but sure do now.
She's so fucking brave. Nancy Mace, MTG, and their ilk bumble around like drunk elephants.MAGA doesn't even take them seriously, but they value the distraction. AOC is intelligent,measured, does her research,and understands her job and the assignment.THAT'S what's threatening to them.Stay safe, AOC!
Yes I agree with you. MAGA are despicable… and fancy that horrible male republican talking down to AOC who is just asking a valid question. They are the party of attention seeking media sound bites
Thank you AOC for standing up speaking for women’s health. We see you and we appreciate your voice and your face!
Respect🎶 Two Snaps! 🫰
Well said that woman , misogynistic man
Ooooo!!!! That burn left a huge mark!!🔥
🔥
AOC is fking 🔥 🔥 🔥!!!
Boss
I will not yield to disrespectful men. 👏👏👏
We've been yielding to them in Britain, for ages of generations. We've been battered, invaded, & enslaved. Talked over rudely to go off point:Men devalue women & babies. Here, they came with weapons. Caused Loud noises of grief. Lying to themselves that all women are creatures they have domain over!
💪🔥🇺🇸
She's dangerous to the Republicans.
Your she is DANGEROUS to people who don't give a SHIT about AMERICA or her WOMEN! SCREW THESE MEN ! 👍🏼🤷♀️😕🥴🤣😂🥴😂🤦♀️💙⚖💙⚖💙⚖💙💙🙍🏼♀️💩
Bravo for AOC ! Stand up loud and proud to the dismissive Patriarchy ‼️
Why I love her
Good for her! What the fuck kind of comment was THAT? As if she’s “playing” to the camera instead of understanding that there are actual HURTING people behind those cameras. I’m VERY sick and tired of disrespectful men myself!! 🤬
Jealous of her…
Many are, that aren't as articulated ..
Not jealous Insecure losers intimidated by a fierce strong young woman
They are jealous of all the positive attention she is getting. That was what I meant. 🦋
I agree! ☝🏼
Understood 💯
The irony of them trying to say she’s only playing to the camera when they only open their mouths trying to get clips on FakeNews and OAN.
Right? Isn’t noem cosplaying to the cameras in all her costumed glory???
Yes!
💙💙💙
I love her. She speaks truth to power and will not be disrespected. 💪🏻👊🏻🔥
The disrespect from Weber! Ain’t no way he would even consider addressing a male colleague that way.
They absolutely hate having a woman talk back to them.
Nobody gives a fuck about Weber. Speaking as one of the nobodies
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Get em AOC!! Pieces of shit!
@lazytato.bsky.social
That is strength and leadership
Bless!
"It was a disrespectful behavior and I will not yield to disrespectful men". Now that's strong!
Good for her👍👍
Nailed it
👋👋👋
I love this woman!!! She is the epitome of bravery, honor and respect! Why is it always women who have to speak out against the men trying to control our bodies? Take away their viagra, see what happens!
Let’s talk about why Viagra is covered and not HRT therapy for women’s health.
Because once we need HRT we’re no longer valuable.
No, once we have HRT we can get our shit together and fight!
Broodmares, that's how they see young women.
That has crossed my mind a lot lately.
That’s absolutely the gross truth! Thank you. They totally disregard the value we bring to this world because they don’t know how to control it. They can only demean it.
💯 😞
Because there are more men than women in the House & Senate and the Big V & money is the reason "some" women marry men who were already adults when they were born. Just saying...
1M%
God I love her
I’m officially adapting the name “Republican death bill“. Join me?
Republican Death Panels. They want to kill grandma
Good job AOC 👏👏
🔥 🔥 🔥
“I will not yield to disrespectful men.” Love her so much.
That is her power. She worked and learned in a real social situation and taught herself how to push back. They’ll be irritated by her which they deserve. I’m not sorry to say but they’ve created the adversary they now face.
She handled him like a boss! 😂👏🏼
That was so creepy. Him & Mike Johnson & others like Rapist Trump have this predator thing about trying to control women. AOC is so strong & so is Jasmine Crockett. They put tiny little men in their place. 👏👏👏
And you KNOW that burns them deep.
And Rep Stabsbury. They’re the strong women we need right now
They are such arrogant fukers! And it is infuriating to hear these pompas asses discussing women's health issues!
We need more of this.
LEGEND
Go AOC!!...
I had better be voting for her for president in '28
On lock. I am going to vote for whomever the democrat is in the general, but I AM CHOOSING AOC in the primary. @aoc.bsky.social , We get a new fresh hell every day, but you keep trying to pull us out of this grave we dug ourselves. Please don't tire.
Why can't democrat take a lesson? We need 220 of AOC's in congress.
They seem to prefer propping up the transphobes in their party over anyone having a backspine like AOC
Because they love money, not the people. I think they’ve proven that enough.
i wish we had 535 AOC’s in congress. then maybe good things could be accomplished
I think AOC is great with the media. At the same time, a legislator is elected to pass bills. And AFAIK she has yet to have any significant bills passed. And that is how legislators deliver change. Too many voters view politics as some reality show.
You can't pass a bill if the speaker refuses to bring it to the floor. Dems are not in power.
This is her 4th term in Congress - way past the term limit many are advocating for. Dems have been power for many of those years. Many Reps have been there shorter and delivered more.
Who?
Many. Too many to tally. Start with fellow New Yorker Hakeem Jeffries. Took office Jan 2013 - under Boehner’s chairmanship (he was GOP btw). April same year he passed his 1st bill, approved by senate 2014.
Another example is Beto O’Rourke. He resigned after 3 terms because he believed in “walking the talk” on term limits. In those 3 terms he was a sponsor to 75 bills. Improved health coverage for vets in a bill signed by Trump. Under Boehner passed bill ensuring more oversight of CBP.
I like Beto but there have been concerns about him. He stepped away from Congress to run for the Senate against Cruz. It wasn't a term limits situation. www.motherjones.com/politics/201...
She has co sponsored 378 bills.
Thank you.
“5th fewest bills” of 435 members. www.govtrack.us/congress/mem...
Hakeen Jefferies has NEVER been a republican! If facts and honesty still matter.
“under Boehner’s chairmanship (he was GOP btw)” “he” refers to Boehner, who in fact was GOP.
He wrote Hakeem
Oh yeah, he's put in a stellar performance recently 🙄
Did AOC advocate for other Dem bills that passed? Not passing your own, unique bill doesn't mean that you haven't been advocating for bills that are presented and righteous.
So where does Donald sit on this scale of Reality TV stars vs. @aoc.bsky.social?
You know nothing about politics. When you are in the minority you can't pass bills, then your job is to uncover corruption and opose bills that are against the well being of your constituents.
1. you can still pass bills when you’re in the minority. You do it by building bipartisan support. 2. AOC has been in power 8 years soon. Roughly half of that time Dems were in majority. Under Biden Congress passed historic number of bills.
And an FYI, affirmed by Congress, a budget is a Constitutional requirement for the party in charge of the House. The last time republicans passed a functional budget, Clinton was getting sex in the Oval. The cost of not having a budget each year is in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
I am jumping in on this, what part of the Hastart rule do you not understand? Every republican vote or it does not get passed. Republicans take an oath to never work with democrats. That is why the last six republican speakers have been ousted from office, they got democratic votes for spending.
Dude, no need to look further back than last year to prove this wrong. www.reuters.com/world/us/lon...
Dude, spending bills, continuing resolutions, raising the debt ceiling to pay the republican debts, are not budgets. Republicans pass all kinds of spending bills. Those are not budgets.
Nobody - except you - is talking about budgets here.
Every tax payers should be talking about it.
In the 117th she wrote 18, and had 4 of them brought to the floor, 0 passed. In the 116th she wrote 23, 118th she wrote 11. 116th she cosponsored 528, 117th 378, and 118th 378. www.govtrack.us/congress/mem...
5th fewest bills. Out of 435 Reps?
Not to get into the middle of a good argument, the only bill AOC could get passed is the Infrastructure bill, and the most important bill the voting reform act that she got in a fight with Pelosi over. FYI, Pelosi lost that vote by ignoring the AOC crowd which gave Trump the win in 2024.
Yet again confirming that Left side with MAGA over Dems if they don’t get their way. Do schools no longer teach basics of democracy?!
There is no such thing as extreme left, that is a media and political tag line. The last two liberals left Congress, one eight years ago and the other two years ago. We have no democrats to the left of Reagan in Congress. Bernie is to the right of Reagan on all but three issues.
Well, they exist but they're not in power. No one is pushing UBI, the means of production in the hands of workers, unions being leaders in business, cooperative farms and businesses, etc etc. There's NEVER been a "left wing" legislator or President. Even Carter - probably the most honest President
in over a century - was a centrist social conservative. What made him seem even vaguely left wing was empathy and honesty. He literally refused to compromise with corrupt GOP even though it would have improved the economy, but carried out EVIL. The one considered most "left" was only thought so
Schools no longer teach history or civics. Fifteen years ago(?) Pew, 50% of the college graduates could not name the VP, the three branches of government, a SCOTUS Justice living or dead. FYI, all republicans have to follow the Hastart Rule, Thus, the musical chairs republican speakers.
“A higher or lower number below doesn’t necessarily make this legislator any better or worse, or more or less effective, than other Members of Congress.” They do address that its not the only thing that matters as a rep. But she is also pretty set on what she supports and why so being a lower number
In democracies the parliaments (e.g. US Congress) is they deliberative body whose aim is to reflect all perspectives and find a middle ground / compromises that collectively serve the majority of the ppl. Too many on the fringes hate this.
Isnt necessarily surprising considering. Her bills are also further left so she has to spend more time getting support then others may so being a lower number wouldnt be surprising there either. I do think shed be better in a leadership role but they keep cockblocking her bc she is so outspoken
Her outspokenness is probably more important at this time than bill writing. The opposition needs charismatic speakers to influence public opinion. God knows the Chuck Schumers of the party are not able to do it.
I wouldn’t draw a comparison w Schumer, but it does highlight my point: good legislators need to be both - good at passing bills and effective communicators. Being either / or is subpar.
"At the same time, a legislator is elected to pass bills. And AFAIK she has yet to have any significant bills passed." Do you know what it means to be in the minority?
This country hates women, especially Black & Brown women. Positively hates us. And many white women voters are accepting of this.
Yup. I think organized religion has brainwashed many into believing that women cannot/are not meant to lead. Which is utter horseshit. Some of my best bosses have been women.
I think if men were stripped of all leadership positions and replaced with women within a decade probably every measure of social wellbeing would be dramatically improved.
Yup. However, frankly, I don't think it would take a decade..
Probably right. High likelihood too though that a bunch of bozo dudes coup our female overlords in short order
Sigh, true dat. In the end, we're all just apes with car keys.
Yup! Sadly and horribly true.
Right? Heartbreaking.
The backlashes against feminism have been too successful! Far too many younger women don't want to be seen as feminists because they don't understand what feminism really is or how fragile the rights won for women are. Young women take for granted rights they didn't have a scant 60 to 70 years ago!
A miracle she is not panting from running all the circles around them.
The things I am finding myself more and more to like about AOC are definitely outweighing anything I used to not like about AOC. She is definitely earning and deserved of her growing reputation as a party leader.
Respectfully, as an old Gen-X metal head nerd: what did you dislike about her? I've never seen that, and I want to see what that issue was. Thank you...
Never disliked her as a whole, don’t get me wrong. Don’t need to relive all my peeves but here’s a few. 1. didn’t enjoy the Pelosi clashes. 2 she voted against Biden’s infrastructure bill. 3, her video explainer of how mRNA vaccines work was embarrassing. (She’s not a scientist)
Legit. People forget... She's still a junior in Congress.
Shes also one of the mabye 3? people in the Democratic Party to have an actual backspine
A crucial point is made here:🍑 cabal has younger ppl.The younger set is more in tune, has more energy,faster reaction times,& more chutzpah than those aging out,better able to confront the bs. I think it's time to trust the kids with running the shop.😉
I’m so grateful for AOC and her ability to be powerfully posed while not yielding her position in these maddening scenarios.
I stand by my Prior Posts 📫 @aoc.bsky.social Will be our 48th President Ushering an FDR Style Era with the most diverse cabinet in American history History is repeating itself, except this time the change will come from WE THE PEOPLE & be lead by Young Visionaries
It was 50 years later til the gop was relevant
Yes, it was They are repeating history, except this time Eisenhower's words will ring true The Republican Party will die & a new party will be born The Democratic Party will be reshaped into the Progressive Democratic Party 🥳 focused on the working class & poor The Populous has awoken
Love AOC! I won’t yield to disrespectful men, either! I don’t know of any women who will. Those days are over Congress dudes!
@AOC you’re always on point. Keep fighting those little men. ☠️
“…and I will NOT yield to disrespectful men, thank you very much.” 👏
They really hate smart strong women that don’t take their shit
Misogynist 🫏 holes
These men are awful 😖
Love AOC ❤️
Republicans hate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez because they are intimidated by intelligent, independent women. Women that support MAGA should be asked why they support a political party that seeks to make them 2nd class citizens.
That’s why republican voters hate her. Republican politicians hate her because she is not intimidated by theirs billionaire owners. They get their asses are out every time she wins or speaks out against the billionaires.
💥💥💥
coz they are trad wives - who only care about fake tits and oat miik coffee
They also hate that they’re attracted to her. The amount of r**e threats she gets is astounding.
Ooh! 👋 I can answer that! MAGA women *want* to be second-class citizens because they're afraid of making decisions and having any kind of responsibility/accountability outside the home. Not being in charge of their own life is a relief to them.
There’s a LOT of truth pact into your statement. Many love/enjoy being stay at home wives/moms, are not interested in working outside the home or developing a career. They trust & love their husband & it works for them. To impose this lifestyle on others is dangerous due to toxic relationships.
There is nothing wrong with being a stay-at-home mom, as long as 1) it's a choice, and 2) chosen out of love and not fear.
What is hilarious is that they’re often the biggest control freaks ever, but they narrow down their scope so they feel more powerful.
Yes! And anything bad that happens is something that happens *to them* and not the result of their own mistakes. They sail through life blameless.
Exactly
Then those MAGA c**ts need to grow the fuck up...or move aside. I have no time or patience for women who act against their own interest.
How pathetic.
But more common than you think but not limited to women.
They believe that they will enjoy higher status because of their fealty. In other words, the leopards aren't going to eat THEIR faces.
*wrongly believe
I remember listening to a MAGA woman in the first term being asked a question about voting for a woman as president. She confidently answered. “ because women are incapable of running a country because they have too many emotions.”
Maga women see themselves as nothing more than property. Their spouses see them as nothing more than property. The entire conservative movement has always viewed women as a means to an end. Their only value is their ability to reproduce, cook clean, and provide libido relief.
💯 🤜🏽🤛🏼
AOC was too nice.
ladies are use to this tactic. Try to knock you off your game. Gentlemen don’t do this.
That condescending tone literally makes me ragey. When men do that to me in real life, they definitely regret it
That’s my girl! 👊
I'm an instant target for old white dudes at my gym and I will not put up with them even looking at me, much less opening their grumpy ass mouths near me to lecture me. I will make a SCENE
Yep. Avoid eye contact at all cost.
They wouldn't imagine trying to pull this disrepectful shit on another male Pure weak male priviledged losers
Good for her!!! Could not love this more. Fuck all those spineless do nothing Trump ball lickers.
‘And I will not yield to disrespectful men. Thank you very much.’ 🔥
I love her! Both AOC and Jasmine - and a few others.
They can never answer the questions! She scares them all! @aoc.bsky.social thank you
We need @aoc.bsky.social as our President. I especially like that she is for Universal Healthcare.
💯
Speaking truth to power. I LOVE THIS WOMAN 👏👏👏
Those assholes love to try to make people follow their BS made-up on the spot rules.
I bet the republicans have insurance paid by you people on the other side of that camera, hello, yes, you.
Bingo
‘And I will not yield to disrespectful men!’
Why these clowns insist on getting owned all day everyday by her is mind boggling. Just a bunch of dumb-ass hicks who think they're smarter than they will ever be.
The slow zoom in on Ocasio-Cortez around the 1:30 mark is tremendous, like the camera operator is just as engrossed by her fiery rebuke to the fascist pigs as those of us watching her on social media are.
WOW!
I feel like I should respond with something eloquent…but I am at a loss for words. I think because Bruce Springsteen just said it all. “Inspiring” seems to fall short of what I just heard from him. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you for posting that!
Indeed!
The fascists are all whores for a rolling camera. She isn't taking their crap.
AOC is pro democracy.
Absolutely LOVE AOC!
She’s bad… the gurl is Badd🎶🎶🎶
Go, AOC, go!
🔥
I love her. Keep holding their feet to the fire.
Who is that smug prick? oh Earl LeRoy "Buddy" Carter (born September 6, 1957) is an American pharmacist and politician serving as the U.S. representative for Georgia's 1st congressional district since 2015. The district is based in Savannah and includes most of the state's coastal southern portion.
That’s our Representative, a Trump bootlicker, who recently decided he will run against our Democratic Senator in 2026. He is always auditioning for Trump. He sold a ton of Opioids in our district as a pharmacist 💰💰💰💰
DOXX his ASS‼️💥💥💥🤨
That's not exactly doxxing when his name is right in front of him. 😆
Address, places he goes! That kind‼️🤨
