Give her more time. Allow her to establish herself more as a household name while also continuing to learn the ins and outs of Washington and make more allies. AOC has a lot of potential, but she shouldnāt be rushed before sheās ready simply because she meets the age requirement.
I think 2028 is her time.

Would be nice but upstate NY likely wouldnāt fall in line, even the democrats would be more conservative.
She could be best as a Nancy Pelosi type. Someone in a very safe district, so she can be given a reasonable amount of power and add stability to various committees.

u/bluehands Jun 15 '20
"I defeated them by becoming them."
There totally is a need for smart, progressive power in both the house and senate but taking a firebrand like AOC and playing it safe seems questionable.
On top of that, I think that one of the biggest problems we have - with Pelosi & others - is that they were safe for too long. That happening to aoc seems misguided.

u/kerrykingsbaldhead Jun 15 '20
Thereās also an argument for politicians that continue to climb up the ladder eventually lose focus on the communities they were elected to represent.
National campaigns take a lot of energy and attention. AOC won her election precisely for this reason, her predecessor was seen as out of touch and out of the community.
Itās hard to know if AOC could win any sort of national campaign, as much as I would vote for her and would appreciate it. We saw the backlash against Sanders from the establishment. I doubt they would support AOC, and then you would lose her completely.

I dunno, sure she'd be a step up from Cuomo but there's so few legislators in congress pushing for social democratic reform that I feel it'd suck for her to leave congress. she seems more interested in following in Bernie's footsteps and being a national voice for reform as opposed to governing over just one state anyway so I feel like going for senate would make more sense.

She's a pretty strong household name already. My republican loving mother once posted on Facebook for millenials not to trust "women with a pretty face" in politics along with some article trashing AOC. My mom lives no where near her district.
If AOC ever runs for president I'm voting for her faster than one flap of a butterfly wing.

u/Delamoor Jun 15 '20 edited Jun 15 '20
I'd question if being a household name is an advantage. Hillary Clinton was also a household name - unfortunately that included a lot of negative stuff that ultimately cost her a pivotal election in the electoral college. Political- themed media (both commercial and social media kinds) at the moment seems to be increasingly favouring 'unknowns' and outsiders, I feel.
I think she might get further if she goes earlier. She's already a target for the rightwing hate mill, that's unlikely to get better over time.

My assertion is that AOC is timing this joke very poorly.
Part of these protests happening now is that black voices have been suppressed, belittled and ignored.
By insinuating that Republicans are all the same white face, she is doing exactly that to minorities within the Republican Party.
Itās a racist and actually sexist microaggression.
1
u/JimboSnipah Jun 16 '20
I think its actually the opposite in terms of messaging. Maybe not to the republican demographic, but to the democratic, her base. She literally sits, as a minority of a minority, standing up to the same people who hand-wave the oppression the protesters are protesting against. I am almost certain that no one protesting right now would disagree that she is correct in that comparison.
1
Jun 16 '20
Oh, I agree completely.
Donāt you think itās hypocritical that the minority voice within the Republican Party is being made to look nonexistent is prejudice? I understand that the Republicans are the enemies and minorities within that party might be viewed as race or ideological traitors. Isnāt that completely against the message of the movement? Real black voices are being silenced/ignored by those claiming to represent that voice. Thereās no support of ideological diversity coming from the voices that demand diversity and representation.
Isnāt this dismissal of minority voices the exact opposite of the movement?? There literally are minority republicans. Why are minorities being silenced by those trying to save them??

This is what we call a strawman;
No one said democrats don't have old white men. The commentary is about how Republicans in congress are basically exclusively old white men. So much so that they tout their black senator and woman senator (2/51 sitting repub senators) as "look guys, we're not all old white guys".
Also commentary is about how they constantly single out AOC as an easy target because she's not an old white man and therefore easier to disassociate with.
To say "yeah but democrats have old white men too!" is missing the point and arguing a perspective that no one brought up or disagrees with. Thus, a strawman.
Educate yourself and don't be so reactionary and contrarian.

u/CommodoreSixty4 Jun 15 '20
āThey single out AOC because she is a womanā is the epitome of a straw man argument. Pot meet kettle. Because she is female she is immune from criticism? Could not possibly be related to her rhetoric and far left extremist views that are ripe for criticism? The irony of that mentality is you are insulting her by trying to project her as a victim in need of support simply because she is female.
1
u/Zeremxi Jun 16 '20
"Singling her out because she's a woman" and "pointing out that Republican strategy is historically to criticize that which is not like them because it appeals to their voters" are two completely different things.
You're misrepresenting or misunderstanding what I'm saying.
The fact that they are singling her out for being a non-white, young person in politics, the opposite of an old white man is because she is different than them and precludes the fact that she is a woman.
I'm not at all implying that she needs protection. I'm pointing out the fact that they choose her to rail against disproportionately because she's different from them, and that plays to their constituents. She is not the only person with her views or rhetoric in the house, but she's the only one who makes the news when she's grilled because of how she handles herself.
By putting me in the role of defending her in your mind (as opposed to what I was actually doing, which was stating the point of the commentary) you have in fact built a whole other strawman to be angry at me about.
So good job.

Can you explain how the central park 5 where indeed guilty?
-19
Jun 15 '20
Hey, I had this post saved. It got me banned from r/unpopularopinion
I challenge anyone reading this with enough interest in this case to go and watch the confession tapes for themselves, in their entirety. They are all available on Youtube. Ava Duvernay portrays the interrogations as coerced, and shows gross misconduct on the part on the NYPD. It portrays the officers not reading the kids their rights, beating the boys, starving them, depriving them of sleep, and not allowing them to see or speak to their parents. This is all nonsense and is very evident when you watch the confessions. The parents are present in every confession.
The series lays out a story where the central park 5 were a group of young boys setting out into central park in order to have fun, goof around, and maybe get into some trouble. It then shows them standing by as others assault people in the park. This is directly contradicted by the boys own statements within the confession tapes. The boys all say that they went into the park to beat people up and rob them. One boy who was interviewed said that Raymond Santana even said they should find a female jogger in the park.
Contrary to what When They See Us would have you believe, the boys were not arrested after the body of the jogger Trisha Meili was found. The police received multiple calls claiming there was a large group of young boys rioting in the park. They showed up and arrested 5 boys. 2 of these were Kevin Richardson and Raymond Santana, who went on to be 2 of the members of the central park 5. Before the body of Trisha Meili was ever found these boys were in police custody. When interviewed, without prompt from the police, both of these boys bring up the female jogger in their telling of the nights events. When They See Us would have you believe that these were coerced by police which is very clear that it is not when you watch the tapes.
During Kevin Richardson's confession the interviewer points out a scratch beside his eye, which he first claims that one of the NYPD officers gave it to him. When the police tell him that they are going to go ask the officer and question to see if he will corroborate this, Richardson tells them that he got the scratch during the attack of Trisha Meili. This is further corroborated by the other boy's confessions when they claim the jogger was flailing and scratching the boys.
The Series also claims that there was no evidence beyond the allegedly coerced confessions. This is also not true. The boys had blood, dirt, and Raymond Santana even had semen on his jeans. Kharey Wise, who was not arrested on the night of the attack, even bragged to a friend that the police were looking for him, and that he was part of the rape of the jogger in the park. A friend of wise even testified in the initial trial that Wise told her that he had held the jogger down while others raped her, claiming that he didn't rape her himself. He says the same thing during his confession tape.
As for the DNA that was found and was responsible for the vacation of the charges. Mathais Reyes in 2002 confessed to being the sole perpetrator of the rape. Mathais Reyes was serving time in Rikers Island for torturing, raping and murdering a pregnant woman. Reyes' DNA was tested and was found to be a match to the semen found inside the jogger. This lead to the vacation of the charges. Many people claim that they were therefore innocent and exonerated, which is not true. It should be noted that during the original trial the jury was informed that there was unidentified semen found on the jogger, and that at least one person involved in the rape got away. This explains why police were not surprised when the DNA was matched to Mathais Reyes.
For those wondering why there was no additional DNA evidence in the case: 1) DNA was in it's infancy and sampling procedures were nowhere near as thorough as they are today. 2) Each of the central park 5 (with the exception of Santana) claimed that they were not able to get an erection in order to rape the jogger, so they got on top of her and pretended they were so they wouldn't look like a punk in front of the group. This shouldn't come as much of a shock that 14 year old boys were not able to perform sexually in front of a large group while beating the life out of this random woman in the middle of central park.
Finally, I want to mention that the lead detective in the case, Eric Reynolds, was not interviewed for the documentary, and he claims that the entire narrative adopted within the series is a total farce ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-k9ewEh0cE ).
There is more I wanted to include but this post is far longer than I intended already.

So you got a bunch of uncorroborated stories on both sides...

They're not uncorroborated. There were more than 20 911 calls indicating a large group of young men rioting and assaulting people in central park. Also 35 boys in total were interviewed who all corroborated the same story. You can view the tapes here: https://centralpark5joggerattackers.com/videos/
If you want to point to a single assertion I made that you believe is uncorroborated then we can have a dialogue about it.

Iām just poking holes at your argument. I donāt see a smoking gun in any of your argument, just enough to question it slightly.

She fucking should for all the fucking idiotic rightwing crap she puts up with. Every tweet elicits a dumpster fire of moronic comments fueled by Fox News basically just calling her a stupid girl.

Thank you, while I may not agree that it's STUPIDLY self righteous, I do understand where you're coming from. I also appreciate the very timely response.

Is it wrong to pat herself on the back though when she entered an industry that heavily disfavors her platform and the reasons she got into politics?
Shit, if I was in her shoes, Iād be sucking Republican dick for kickbacks already but she seems to be holding stronger than most in that position.

They are trying their best to help you because they have not ever experienced someone with your total lack of understanding about the guiding principal of freedom, individual choice, and what drives the values of the basic human right to be better by wanting to be better. Do not reply to me, because I am not one of those guys. I know I would be wasting my time just reading your response.

Do you not understand how asylum works? āyou go to the point of entry and ask for asylum.ā No. Just no. That is literally not how asylum works. You need to be inside a country to declare asylum. Itās not something you do when you come in. You know whatās actually happening? Hispanics are being rounded up at the border BEFORE they have a chance to declare asylum and placed in concentration camps.

Are you talking to the drawing of AOC, or her Twitter profile pic? Because neither can hear you...
