Funny you say all that with all the clownery going on in the homeland.

That soap opera she threw during the Iron Dome vote backfired so badly because in trying to pander to both sides and she ended up antagonizing both. That also shows lack of common sense and frankly, intelligence and political savvy.

Watch this video of her when she's being professional and doing her job, rather than performing for an audience:



Whatever else you might think of her, a sub-normal IQ just doesn't match the reality.

And her having a sub-normal IQ is the perception deliberately created by the memes gleefully being passed around on multiple fight-wing forums that I visit.
This is an example of what Democrats need to quit doing. I’m not talking about one video the fits your narrative. It doesn’t change the multiple times AOC has done something stupid.

AOC is a walking meme….. MTG is a walking stereotype.
AOC is educated with no common sense just like Ben Carson and you need both to tackle centuries of American political trauma.

I don’t care if she has 50 million degrees and videos on YouTube. That behavior is ignorant and disrespectful as hell to real victims.
“My mother met my father, a Bronx boy visiting isla family, at a young age. They married + moved to NYC – she didn’t even speak English. My parents started from scratch: new languages, new life, new everything. Then came me, and they moved to start over again so I could have an education.”

You think someone with that sort of Puerto Rico heritage has never faced being racially profiled herself?

None of which is relevant to the allegation someone made in this thread, that she is a "moron".

"Moron" was coined in 1910 by psychologist Henry H. Goddard from the Ancient Greek word μωρός (moros), which meant "dull" and used to describe a person with a mental age in adulthood of between 7 and 10 on the Binet scale. It was once applied to people with an IQ of 51–70

I’m a minority woman from Mississippi, who grew up 3 mins away from here Evers was assassinated. Big damn whoop.

And this is another thing Democrats need to quit doing…..

Stop pulling race card on minorities to win an argument and understand oppression olympics is not y’all’s friend.

AOC being Puerto Rican doesn’t change anything because not all minorities think the same.

You can still be a damn fool.

Being born in Mississippi allows you to claim that AOC isn't a "real victim" of racial profiling?

The original allegation, made by AZOldCoot on the first page of this thread, was "Many in this country feel that AOC is a moron."

I explicitly stated that her race was not relevant to answering that allegation. (Which is the opposite of "pulling race card").

Whether she sometimes does foolish things, or has a foolish public style is also not the allegation in question.

The allegation is quite specific. Is she or is she not a moran (someone with an IQ between 51 and 70) ?

And I've provided evidence that this is not the case.

A few right wing posters here have conceded the point. Most have not.

I've also said that the practice of spreading meme pictures with entirely fabricated "quotes" is harmful. Not just to AOC, but to the health of political discourse as a whole. And that is something nobody has properly responded to yet.

The allegations that she is a moron are absolutely not specific to the 1910 medical journals lol…



It means she says stupid shit. A lot.

This is an example of why Democrats need to quit picking and choosing when to be “woke”.

No, being Black from Mississippi means oppression olympics is insulting my intelligence and to be deathly clear, I was raised by survivors not victims..so I was still held accountable for my behavior.

It doesn’t matter if AOC is Puerto Rican, using it for political showboating is still damaging to a movement and WAY too many died for me to condone her making a mockery out of it.

She is still an idiot.

Oh so now it’s the practice of spreading memes that is at fault for AOC’s behavior.

No you haven’t provided evidence that AOC isn’t a pandering idiot.

Some will like you and some won't.

And that goes for everyone, including politicians.

Seems almost too simple but it's about as truthful and honest as it gets, and NO ONE owes anyone else an explanation as to why they like or dislike someone.... including politicians.

I'll drop my penny's worth in, lol.

I think AOC is a progressive. That's why she isn't liked.
