Literally every topic I see on GameFAQs about AOC is the right bitching about her. I haven't seen a single topic since she won her primary that wasn't begun with someone complaining about her.

Just like when Palin was McCain's VP it was the exact same with literally everyone complaining about her?

It's so sad that she can't do yoga nearly as much while serving her congressional term :( But at least she's a progressive :)

Why not? Theyre both morons and a lot of guys would hit that. Ocasio-Cortez is a lot younger, so shes got that going for her.

1. Palin was relatively unknown and a very bizarre VP choice
2. AOC was very unknown and beat a 10 year incumbent in her district
3. Palin was the Tea Party movement's It Girl
4. You could argue AOC is the same for progressives at this point
5. Both have paper-thin politics but their staunchest supporters think they're smart/can upset the system
6. The media won't shut the fuck up about both

So change the fact that you're wrong into posting something you can't prove happened, much less prove that you were even on GameFAQs for the 2008 election.

But hey, we get it, this is how you get back at the women who won't talk to you.

Alt-right: "Cortez is so stupid, the left can't stop talking about her, despite her being an idiot and stupid and she says dumb things the left always bring her up!"

*Donnie does his daily stupid thing and the left talk about it*

Alt-right: "OMG, why won't you TDS people stfu about Donnie. You're obsessed with him. And besides, he misspoke and what he REALLY meant to say was this! He's so much smarter than every other politician in history, you're just getting cucked libz!"

Seems like a shitload more people on the right talk about her than on the left.

But that being said, no. AOC is a random freshman rep from a dark blue district that has no real power. She's a dime a dozen legislator that is only notable because she upset an entrenched Democrat in a primary, wake me up if/when she has any meaningful authority.

Palin was an actual nominated Vice Presidential candidate and a potential Presidential candidate for a couple of years before the GOP realized she was dumb.

Not even remotely comparable.

love how you jumped to conclusions there...

nope, she never said that, but she did infer she had great diplomatic experience because some russian island can be seen off some mostly uninhabited alaskan island. my quote just nicely sums up her bullshit.

How is she dumb for calling out Congress for their complacency and hypocrisy. I appreciate her highlighting how Congress still gets paid during the shut down or how she's criticized for wearing a black dress suit. She isn't docile and I think that's what men and people like TC find threatening so they feel the need to belittle her and equate her to Palin.

Look at the trash posters that are making the comparison. Theyre repeatedly posting this comparison every couple of days in the hopes that it sticks.

The right has to constantly make these dumb comparisons to pretend like there's any kind of equivalency between the two sides. It's hard to do when you took a look at Donald Trump and thought he would make a great President, but they try.

Considering most Trump supporters only became aware of politics like 2 years ago this makes sense.

this kind of does make her the palin of the left

most conservatives have no opinion on palin because she is not a fiscal conservative at all (enforced windfall profits tax on AK oil producers, gave the money to AK citizens as a stipend) and her views on all other subjects are overtly moronic. her selection as VP was a severe mistake for the mccain campaign and it is widely believed by conservatives that she's responsible for his defeat

this all makes her mostly a talking point for the left. the right would like to forget she exists.

similarly, the left mostly ignores cortez, the right's obsession is similar to the left's on palin.

one key difference though: nobody is talking about elevating her to the office of vice president

AOC wasn't known nationwide...but also didn't run for a nation wide office. She wasn't unknown in her district, or at least not any more than most non-incumbents who get elected to the house.

Their positions aren't particularly similar. AOC, whether you agree with her or not, is making political moves to change attitudes/environment in Congress, whereas Sarah Palin was always just a rally politician. They just don't share more than paper-thin similarities.
