No. This is a false equivalency.

Suppose I disagree with the first broad statement?

I'm not saying she's dumb, for the record. I'm saying where some on the Left look at her as some sort of hero---if not a martyr in certain ways---I just see her as a person who successfully built a brand. Politically, she succeeds for the same general reason that Trump won in 2016, just on the opposite side.

Pragmatically speaking, most of her ideas are terrible and would lead to collective financial ruin. That said, I'm pretty sure she's actually aware of that and probably wouldn't actually buy what she herself is selling.

I think that may be the new definition of politician.

You disagree with AOC’s policy views (which is fine), she is not a security threat like MTG.

Unless you can find examples of AOC social media posts calling for the execution of Republican officials. Or times AOC chased after GOP members in the Capitol screaming at them to debate her. Or times AOC followed and verbally harassed teenage school shooting survivors.

Till then your post is just the standard Libertarian “both sides are bad, why can’t anyone else see the light?!” blather.

Thanks! It might be a good one, actually.

I can find a social media post in which she celebrated the loss of high-paying industrial jobs, does that count?

I'm not sure how you accomplish the things that Liberals claim to want to accomplish, economically, without...you know...a tax base.

Absolutely not.

I disagree with a lot more than her policies, though I will give her credit for being good at branding.
