(58,785 posts)A fake-news story involving her is being weaponized against the Democratic Party by our enemies. Those are the darts.
Isn't that important to know? So you can dodge and also be able to identify and know what to think of so-called journalists and journals trying to deceive you? There really is a vast right-wing conspiracy, but it's not against Hillary alone, it's against all of us.
Let's really hope Ocasio gets to add some youthful energy in congress to whatever committees she's assigned to. And, importantly, that she learns that to respect and admire many of her colleagues and realize she is part of something great.
She doesn't seem to have learned from what happened on November 8, 2016, though. If it's repeated on November 6, 2018, she'll instead get a lot of experience in being an extremely minor member of a minority, out-of-power party as the Republicans dismantle our progressive institutions and consolidate Trump authoritarian power. It'd definitely her own chickens coming home to roost (again!), but neither of us wants that for her because it'd be a horrible punishment for a kid who didn't know what she was doing and because it'd mean we were all in much worse trouble than we were on January 1, 2017.
COUNTDOWN TO MAKING OCASIO PART OF OUR HOUSE MAJORITY: 128 days!
