AOC: Why do we listen to people who lost elections as if they are experts in winning elections?

171. Nice attempt at a derail...this is about you refusing to acknowledge the logical extension of your

judgement on the terms that you judge McCaskill.

You keep bringing Leiberman and Miller into the discussion... I might well ask you for a link to where AOC has criticized them for all the relevance that has.



If *you* are going to diss McCaskill as a "paid TV Pundit who is just a former elected Democratic representatives" as being less worthy of respect than AOC because she is a currently serving rep, then *you" are also tarring Carter and Obama with the same brush.

Unless you just don't like McCaskill, and you like Obama and Carter, which would make more sense.

You got upset that people criticized AOC for saying something negative about someone you don't like. You lashed out at the person that AOC was criticizing as less valid or worthy, in defense of AOC, but when it was pointed out that your criticism of McCaskill was something that also applied to Obama and Carter, it came as a surprise, and you got flustered.

Doubling down on rationalizing your distaste for McCaskill and trying to deflect when it's pointed out that she's no different than Obama and Carter in that aspect, just becomes, as you put it, "embarassing" and not convicing.
