You say that like this doesn't. She's not teaching them a lesson or anything, she's just engaging them on their level.

What it does do that's good is get people who are sick of the crazies engaged in the situation instead of just ignoring it.

Ignoring it just means that there's no counter-narrative hitting people, and it skews the perception of balance

I absolutely fucking hate it that it has to be like this, but there it is. Imagine being a lightning rod for all that weaponized ignorance and mental illness. It's an unpleasant, stinky task, but if somebody's gotta do it, I'm glad people of character and caliber like AOC are out there doing it.

Yea that's what we need. We've been getting cucked hard because we play by the rules and refuse to stoop to their level. Meanwhile they just do and say whatever the fuck they want and get away with it. Fuck em, we didn't beat the nazis by playing nice. Get in there and call them out and use their tricks.
