There is a reason why Pelosi isn't angling for higher office. She is content where she is now and she knows where she is most effective. Don't do the work of the Republicans by citing her boogeyman status as the reason why you aren't supporting her.

<insert baseless AOC criticism here cuz "decorum" or "civility" or "just like Trump", ad nauseum.>
Was probably busy slicing into a nice, thick steak on some lobbyists dime while 800k federal workers went without pay.
I want it to get so bad that he can't even go to a grocery store without him hearing "Paging Mitch the bitch" on the store PA.
I mean godamn.......LOL
And AOC is amazing. Light that fire under these old racist assholes. Burn it all down
I don't recommend adding to the toxicity that's already in our government
No one knows where he is. Indivisible Kentucky paid for a billboard to be put up

It's a disgrace that the media hasn't been holding Mitch McConnell accountable. It shouldn't have taken this long to bring up the fact that Mitch McConnell could have ended this way sooner. I've seen it mentioned before on the news but it's been brushed aside by the pundants or head reporters whenever someone they interview brings it up. A bunch of useless idiots.
The dem leadership has been waaaayyy too subtle in how the talked about it. They aren't being smart enough with their messaging.
Thanks young dems!

The lady to his left catches him lol.
This guys gaze and expression tells it all.
I'll be impressed if she can shape up the fossils to be better than third rate Trumps who can spell correctly.
People sling insults on Twitter so regularly that it takes a real command of the English language to get an eyebrow raise out of me.
Fucking bravo, Oswalt.
How is she so adorable yet so fierce? I want to gossip in bathroom with her after having her stand for me in a back alley brawl.
She is a goddamn national treasure. I hope she's able to keep this up without burning out.
Guys, i love AOC to death, but it's very possible that since they were all together the group collectively came up with the #WheresMirch hashtag. They (meaning Katie Hill, Laurie Underwood, and Mike Levin) all started using it roughly around the same time as AOC.
AOC is great. But there are other great freshmen that deserve paying attention to. I think AOC is getting frustrated that she gets all the attention and some of the other great freshmen don't get much.

For those talking about the GOP making Pelosi a boogeyman, the reason they did that was because she's effective. They want you to think that you shouldn't want her as Speaker for (insert usual bullshit reason here) precisely because she is good at her job, holds the caucus together and quite possibly is the most shrewed and skilled politician of the last 30 years. Getting rid of her is exactly what republicans want and anytime your desires align with republicans regarding democratic politicians you should think critically if that's a good thing.
As far as AOC goes, she's doing a fantastic job messaging, and the right wing is terrified of her. They are already trying to turn her into a boogeyman. Studies have been done showing that she's mentioned far more often in conservative media than liberal media. While they are trying to discredit her now, its a long propaganda campaign, essentially meant to prevent her ascendancy over a longer time. The goal is that in 10 years, when AOC runs for President, or starts to look like leadership material people will have vague unease or lack of trust in her. They will either be unable to fully explain why or use very general non-specific terms (She's not liberal enough, I just don't trust her) which are planted by the conservative machine planting and fertilizing these ideas over a very long period of time. It may or may not work, but it has worked in the past.

Took me a second to realize this wasn't a hexadecimal color string

Maybe he saw a turtle....on her butt?
This has definitely worked historically. I think a major difference going forward is that Millennials (and now Gen Zed) aren't sitting around letting our TV news tell us what to think about politicians. The media and the GOP also didn't want Trump to be president, though arguably you could argue they were more willing participants in his rise.
Everyone can have a voice now, and that's changing things.
This characterises past events of simply being the Dems being too lazy or deciding to cede ground when this had nothing to do with whatever their choices are. Conservatives captured mainstream media, and hold a significant portion to varying degrees today, which is not a problem which could be easily solved as the Dems just telling the media to knock it off. In order to overcome this social media had to become invented to counter conservatives on equal terms, since the GOP were unable to subvert that media to their will.
Your last sentence I agree with completely, this wasn't true until social media entered the picture for public discourse.
If my post came across that way, it was just my failure to communicate. I wasn't trying to say that it had to do with choices Dems made; I was saying it had to do with what resources the majority of Americans/voters had to obtain information on politics. I might have come across too flippant in the way I worded that. Regardless, I agree with everything you are saying.
