Is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the first Mentally Challenged person in the US congress?

[ronaldo75]

Yes - It's historic and should be celebrated

No - There have been other retards in congress in the past

This question is sexist

Funny part is she only got like 15,000 votes. Her district is very gerrymandered.

Really she just proves why the average person should not have a vote and we need to fix all the gerrymandering to keep the districts not just built to elect one party.

Like take this Amazon deal she literally thought New York was giving Amazon 3 billion dollars in cash not 3 billion in tax credits.

You can see this by her starting to talk about after getting a deal cancelled how should she can used that 3 billion for something else. Doesn't even understand the money's not there literally thinks it's in the bank account

Not only is the district very gerrymandered, it is also a "rotten borough", full of non-citizens, not just illegal aliens, but also numerous perfectly legal "resident aliens". Increasingly, the USA Congress is resembling the UK parliament prior to the Reform Act of 1832:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotten_and_pocket_boroughs

I live in another state, California, with this phenomenon. These non citizens ARE counted for census purposes, but who are NOT voters, or at least not supposed to be.

The effect of this is to create districts that are "rotten boroughs", where only a few thousand votes can determine a congressional district, each one of which is supposed to support about a half million voting citizens.

If we had a Census process that only counted actual voting citizens, we would not have these rotten boroughs, and certain "legislators" like Alexandra "Occassional Cortex" would not exist.

I agree I used to live in California know how bad the problem is as well didn't know her District was this as well.

At least in April the Supreme Court will rule you can ask the citizenship question on the census. Going to be fun to see all these liberal areas lose a ton of population when they actually get a real count without all the illegals.

[Curmudgeon]

I can only hope. And that goes for the legal non-citizens too. The latter are perfectly fine people, but the Census is for determining representation of *voting citizens*.

[Curmudgeon]

And in fairness, this would NOT just affect Democrat areas and states. I could see a district or two in Texas or Florida also disappearing, if only voting citizens were counted for representation purposes.

[John_Doesnt]

The biggest retard is the president. And conservatives are only afraid of AOC because of Fox News. Which leads me to believe you watch Fox News.

[ronaldo75]

I'm a NY Democrat. Stop assuming shit.

[John_Doesnt]

Not much of a Dem if you hate AOC.

[ronaldo75]

So I have to love every democrat no matter what? SO the millions of republicans who hate Trump aren't real republicans?

[honeybunns]

I do support some socialist policies but she’s the worst spokesperson for socialism.

[madhatters4]

where's the evidence that she is mentally challenged? or is she mentally challenged because you don't agree with her?

[ravenengr]

she is out there with her ideas, but can't say she is dumb. She is milking this as far as it will take her. I don't see you on the face of every news channel and website every day

[WindowLicker]

No, there's Donald Trump, IQ sub 100, can't spell, can't make coherent sentences.

[Curmudgeon]

1. He's *not* in Congress.

2. and yet he outfoxed your Shrillary for President. Let that sink in.

[WindowLicker]

@Curmudgeon Let it sink in that not everyone who doesn't like Trump is a Hillary fan 😂 Fail trigger.

[tartaarsaus]

Uh, where is the psychologist who verified she has a mental illness through thorough research? Or is this just a 'I disagree with her so she must be mentally ill' type of thing?

[thechesseman]

It's gotta be over half. Did you see Mark Zuckerberg holding up the idiot's guide to the internet at his congressional hearing?

[Anonymous]

just more proof that women can get away with anything thanks to so many guys not being able to think with the right heads. Oh she's a young female who doesn't look like the crypt keeper... must... vote... for her to make my dick happy.

[WhoDatGuy]

She occasionally says meaningful things. But then says completely bat shit crazy stuff

[Anonymous]

What is up with Republicans obsession of this one house member of over 500?

[ladsin]

The democrats are always lauding her as the thought leader in their party. She's quite literally always in the news, yet it's the Republicans who are obsessed? XD

[Opinion Owner]

@ladsin No they're not. I hardly see any democrats ever talking about her. Meanwhile she's frontlining new stories constantly on ultra conservative "news" networks.

[ladsin]

Uh... Do you not watch CNN? She was all over just this week with the Amazon controversy. Wasn't the botched unveiling of the NGD just last week? The week before that she was interviewed immediately following Trump's State of the Union. Need I go further?

[Anonymous]

No she’s fucking awesome.

[ronaldo75]

Explain why she's awesome?

[ladsin]

Definitely B.

[0112358]

Not by a long shot.

[AlexanderBrunnrgaard]

It's not hard to believe.

[FrostyDaHoMan]

Her voice is hot so that is something

[HeyThere94]

A triggered Republican triggered by a strong woman

[Barrett93]

No, but she's not helping.

[MissChasityL]

Nope..
