a positive feedback loops where no one ever shuts the fuck up
definitely some codependency
Every politician is twittering constantly these days, there are people in their offices whose entire job is to post on social media for them.
The Republicans have worked very hard for very long to keep politics a rich person's game where rich people all jerk each other off legislatively. AOC is a threat to that status quo and must be stopped.

rekt
if her meme new deal is any indication of what she's about she's def more of a joke than a threat
The 115th Congress opened with a collective net worth of almost $3B. Their investments, collectively, regularly outpace the markets because they get to decide which markets are going to benefit. They rarely hold any business accountable. Republicans in particular have for 40 years used a strategy of herding voters together by expressing the belief that it's not the super-rich people controlling business, government, and media causing problems, it's those pesky (insert politically and economically powerless group here).
A bartender suddenly unseating an establishment congressman, even a Democrat, and suddenly showing up on Capitol Hill and grilling people about why we have these laws that massively benefit the wealthy while instagramming exactly how the political process works to her followers? They don't want any part of that, they want people who will think John Kerry got owned by Massie.

Now this is a fucking joke and everyone who thinks otherwise is retarded.
Think about it this way; if we do things my way on climate change and I'm wrong, well dang. We spent a lot of money we didn't need to, but I guess at least we cleaned up our air and water and in general made energy production safer for the environment. Sucks for those gas and oil companies that didn't get to enjoy more welfare, but oh well.
If we do things the other way and that turns out to be wrong, we all die.
Hmmmmmm

i think trump has better approval numbers
lolThe change in her approval ratings may in part come from people knowing more about the lawmaker.
she really fucked the duck opposing the Amazon deal, it's not too uncommon for a nationally prominent legislator to eat that kind of blowback when their constituents see them launching a media-friendly crusade to save the world even as they help scuttle a deal that would have given their city tens of thousands of good-paying jobs and tens of billions in economic activity.
I live where HQ2 is going and have several friends who used to live in Seattle and now live here. None of them expect it to be a good thing for the area.

Basically Amazon is enough of a draw to bring in people from all across the US who already have the skills they need, so fuck you if you're an existing resident that can't go work for them, rental and housing prices are for people who can.

your friends aside the approval rating for the deal in the city was 57% for 26% against, in Queens it was 60% for 26% against, and Amazon was polled as the most liked company in America with a net favorability rating of +79. the deal was very popular in New York, even more popular in AOC's district, and she is paying a political price for being on the unpopular (though victorious) side.

and the prospect has actually gotten more popular since the deal collapsed
https://www.theepochtimes.com/two-th...s_2852159.htmlBy a margin of 64-28, Quinnipiac found that New York voters want Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other leaders to convince Amazon to reconsider.
there was strong support across every listed polling delineation, including political party, gender, education, age, race, and regional group.
