99% of my brain tells me I shouldn’t post this image. Firstly, posting anything vaguely political tends to turn people off. I’ve still got a long unfinished comment thread I need to get back to from the last time I ventured in that direction. Secondly, women in politics have to face all sorts of double standards about their looks and attitude that men never have to deal with. I’m not sure me posting this image in the context of this blog really helps with that problem.
However, apparently the remaining 1% of my brain happens to be the bit in charge of blogging right now, so here we have it. While I think Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez does look great here, what really makes it are the expressions of the guys on the right. I think they’re having what I’d call ‘complicated’ thoughts.
This is actually a crop (found on social media) of this larger shot, featuring Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez arriving at the State of the Union with her guest Ana Maria Archila.
She’s something else, her energy, intensity, screen presence, and the way she uses all of this qualities to effortlessly puts fairly radical ideas into the mainstream.
That’s a great photo, and it’s very reminiscent of the old Life or Look magazine photos of the curious onlooker bedazzled by celebrity.
She understands social media extremely well, and uses it better than anyone since Cheeto Mussolini.
How can one be into femdom and still be a Republican is beyond me.
how can a republican be into femdom ?
go to GP.ORG and read aoc’s new green deal ..
it will raise this question … how can a mature adult
see anything to admire in aoc ?
her ideas are silly and juvenile – as if concocted by a high school freshman.
femdom is experienced on a personal level with your spouse –
trying to realistically bring it to the level of how to run a country is fantasy.
How is femdom partisan?
