I don't think AOC is going anywhere and that scenario is more of a right wing wet dream rather than anything else.

At the end of the day, AOC has a huge supporter base that the democrats do not want to alienate and they won't redraw lines and risk losing a district to get rid of someone who is a rising star in their office, someone who is a lightning rod to the Right Wing but is immune to Right Wing bull****.

She's not going anywhere unless she loses.

The right wing don't hate or fear her, no-one's threatened by her ... she's just a living meme generator who says dumb stuff.

But oh sure, there are some knuckle-draggers who can't stand a prominent Latina speaking out, but they're the minority.

Can you actually quote some of this "dumb stuff", and outline your understanding of the Dunning-Kruger effect? Or is this just yet another thing you've heard someone say on Reddit . Because also, I've never actually seen referred to as "Kruger Dunning", because that's not what it's called, making me wonder if you have any idea what you're talking about.

Right Wing Media can't keep her name out of their mouths. Everything she does, they cover extensively and they look for any reason (and when they can't find one, they make one up) to slate or disaparage her. Fox News has mentioned her more times then they've mentioned the democratic presidential candidates.

You don't focus so much energy on trying to ruin someone if you don't fear them. The Right Wing are terrified of what she represents and how much of a following she has.

I think the fact you think she's just a meme generator says it all, you don't know much about her at all, you brand what she says dumb but a lot of the stuff she's fighting for are things we enjoy. Do you think the NHS is dumb? Do you not think that the US should have similar healthcare? A living wage so that teachers don't have to work two jobs? ETC. Are these two concepts dumb to you? You need to stop listening to your right wing youtubers that tell you what you want to hear and start looking up the facts. If you think a lot of what AOC wants to achieve is dumb then you believe that a lot of the rights and services we have in the UK are dumb as well.
