public exposure*
```it will be interesting is she keeps her position, particularly if she doesn't need to run around to keep it.```
Exactly!
And that might be the point where she will wither in irrelevancy...
Her only threat in her district is a primary. If she can survive her first reelection which will test if she can stick around beyond her "exploit" that'll tell us a lot. Her next test could be running for New York Governor or an open Senate seat if it comes up.
exactly
If she doesn't show appeal beyond her district it will be a much tougher win for her.
it will be interesting to see if the disengaged wake up to boot her
or support her
she needs to actually do something rather than exist i believe.
she is, she's playing young and radical youth archetype
she got to where she is by making a splash. that is not necessarily good. Some people like a splash, but not everyone.
There's a reason we haven't had a president with only House experience on third resume in a very long time.
that's enough in a horrid crypt like the DNC
predicting what public interest wants from her is probably the best bet for predicting her survival of relivence
no, the DNC likes money
they suck with it so they constantly need more
i agree with tim that the right wing media highlighting cortez constantly is press for her
that kinda thing doesent just get new eyes on her, it also turns eyes that rather not vote for her onto her as an opposition canadate. if the nazis dont like her she has to be good, even if i dont agree with her
you dont want to see AOC getting the same voter base hillery got AND a fresh new voter base due to being a progressive that new minds are interested in
or maybe you do, who knows how bad she really is for politics right now
assume the worst
problem is a subjective perspective on worst
no, wars are won by lying to everyone
person with the best lie wins
well yeah, lying is just human nature unfortunately
there are not many wars in which the nations involved did not get involved because of lies to their populations
the public, generally, HATES war. without their support, you are not likely to win
well that should go without saying..
and, you need the enemy to think you are doing something you are not
people are want to hear things that make them happy, more than they want the truth
its not what people want to hear, its what will make them fearful
happy people don't want war.
fearful people want someone to make the big bad monster go away
they will put themselves in cages to do it
and that's why they are so desperate for anything that is spun to their warped worldview
look how many want war in syria now that trump is pulling out. they are totally out of it
humans are not rational, it's not about good or bad. just how it is
fear: "they will all be genocided!"
you gotta spin in the positive too for full effect, you want them hungry after the sample 😉
as a socialist, i prefer them hungry for food
