elg is absolutely correct in his assessment of criticism of female politicians. You could replace AOC’s name with any other female politician and the comments would be mostly the same.

Although this happens on the right much more than on the left it’s still a pretty common occurrence on both sides. Originally Posted by txdot-guyAhhh, no. It doesn't happen more on the right than the left. That's just your opinion.
AOC may not be your cup of tea and you can disagree with her policies all you like but she is an intelligent charismatic personable politician that is a true leader in the Democratic party.Whatever... if you say so!
Expect her to be a formidable political figure in the next few decades. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

It’s a shame that any woman politician always faces the same misogynist and mental acuity attacks from the old white man society……both Dems and the GOP.
Not sayin you did that ICU…..but you can see it in this thread.

one wonders if either of you realize how biased this is?
what's the opposite misogyny? Misandry.
all this "you can't criticize stupid female politicians" is nonsense. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

Like her or not, she will be a force for many years to come.

I like her. Not all of her policies…… because no intelligent and informed voter likes everything about any politician…..but overall I can see her in higher offices.

It might be possible to take you seriously, if you weren't so cavalier with terms like "MAGAT" and "Magatard". Originally Posted by DucbutterPlease look at the signature line for Post #47 above....
