public exposure*

2019-01-07 14:38:31 UTC  

```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...

2019-01-07 14:38:57 UTC  

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.

2019-01-07 14:39:12 UTC  

exactly

2019-01-07 14:39:30 UTC  

If she doesn't show appeal beyond her district it will be a much tougher win for her.

2019-01-07 14:39:30 UTC  

it will be interesting to see if the disengaged wake up to boot her

2019-01-07 14:39:40 UTC  

or support her

2019-01-07 14:40:06 UTC  

she needs to actually do something rather than exist i believe.

2019-01-07 14:40:25 UTC  

she is, she's playing young and radical youth archetype

2019-01-07 14:40:40 UTC  

she got to where she is by making a splash. that is not necessarily good. Some people like a splash, but not everyone.

2019-01-07 14:40:44 UTC  

There's a reason we haven't had a president with only House experience on third resume in a very long time.

2019-01-07 14:40:48 UTC  

that's enough in a horrid crypt like the DNC

2019-01-07 14:41:03 UTC  

predicting what public interest wants from her is probably the best bet for predicting her survival of relivence

2019-01-07 14:41:05 UTC  

no, the DNC likes money

2019-01-07 14:41:20 UTC  

they suck with it so they constantly need more

2019-01-07 14:42:30 UTC  

i agree with tim that the right wing media highlighting cortez constantly is press for her

2019-01-07 14:43:27 UTC  

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

2019-01-07 14:44:45 UTC  

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

2019-01-07 14:45:53 UTC  

or maybe you do, who knows how bad she really is for politics right now

2019-01-07 14:46:02 UTC  

assume the worst

2019-01-07 14:46:08 UTC  

that's how wars are won

2019-01-07 14:46:34 UTC  

problem is a subjective perspective on worst

2019-01-07 14:49:51 UTC  

no, wars are won by lying to everyone

2019-01-07 14:50:10 UTC  

person with the best lie wins

2019-01-07 14:50:43 UTC  

well yeah, lying is just human nature unfortunately

2019-01-07 14:52:19 UTC  

there are not many wars in which the nations involved did not get involved because of lies to their populations

2019-01-07 14:52:39 UTC  

the public, generally, HATES war. without their support, you are not likely to win

2019-01-07 14:52:46 UTC  

well that should go without saying..

2019-01-07 14:53:09 UTC  

and, you need the enemy to think you are doing something you are not

2019-01-07 14:53:13 UTC  

people are want to hear things that make them happy, more than they want the truth

2019-01-07 14:53:37 UTC  

its not what people want to hear, its what will make them fearful

2019-01-07 14:53:55 UTC  

happy people don't want war.

2019-01-07 14:54:06 UTC  

fearful people want someone to make the big bad monster go away

2019-01-07 14:54:17 UTC  

they will put themselves in cages to do it

2019-01-07 14:54:20 UTC  

and that's why they are so desperate for anything that is spun to their warped worldview

2019-01-07 14:54:50 UTC  

look how many want war in syria now that trump is pulling out. they are totally out of it

2019-01-07 14:55:08 UTC  

humans are not rational, it's not about good or bad. just how it is

2019-01-07 14:55:17 UTC  

fear: "they will all be genocided!"

2019-01-07 14:55:46 UTC  

you gotta spin in the positive too for full effect, you want them hungry after the sample 😉

2019-01-07 14:56:26 UTC  

as a socialist, i prefer them hungry for food
