Don't you folks just love the irony here.

We were told Donald Trump...

You guys also cherry pick when something is whataboutism and when it is not eh?
Exactly what does your continued and obsessive rambling about Trump have to do with a criticism of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? I believe that equating her with Trump is counter to alleged priorities.

Well, for a start, it has the great merit of annoying you (or shall we say, causing butthurt?).

Secondly, it does raise interesting issues about the standards by which we judge people in public life.

We were told Donald Trump, who grew up from privilege, won the election that meant he was a winner by default! It was a huge notch in his belt of success and nothing in his past really mattered any more. All the lawsuits, the sexual assault allegations, the defrauding of Americans, the racist sentiments, etc.

However, when a minority woman epitomizes the American dream, working in a bar to help support her family becomes the youngest woman ever elected to Congress just a year later, those same folks praising Trump suddenly scoff at Cortez and now demand to know what she has accomplished in life.

Well, you're looking at it ____. She isn't just the youngest person elected she is also taking airtime from our moron in chief, proving she is probably the most relatable politician in history.

There is really no question about it. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has already proven to be far more admirable than Trump is, or will ever be.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

I think other people are independently realizing the objectives of Ocasio Cortez and the Democratic party to, "Make America Venezuela." In the eyes of liberals, it's the morally right thing to do.

Other people? You're a tiny minority of morons who can't come up with an original thought collectively.

We're a basket of deplorables that rocked your world in 2016. Not bad for a tiny minority, huh?

Yeah, keep thinking the independents who voted Trump on a dare and third party voters who got him elected in any way support your stupidity. It will make 2020 even more laughable.
