AOC Seen as ‘Face’ of Democratic Party — and It’s Not Even Close: New Poll
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is seen as the "face" of the Democratic Party according to new polling.
You're viewing a single thread.
So "AOC not even close" with 26% but Kamala Harris + Pete Buttigieg + Hakeem Jeffries + Cory Booker + Gavin Newsom = 22%. And that 26% has almost guaranteed the 8% of Crockett and the 12% of Sanders. So 26 + 12 + 8 = 46% but "not even close".
I don't know half the people you mentioned
well at least you own up to your ignorance, more than we can say for most.
Oh, the qurstion was rhetorical -- the function was a relevancy check. The Hill may think all of those names are important but only half are making it out of the political wonkosphere.
(wonk is an mid 20th century word for nerd)
Was it fairly clear I was just being funny? I hoped so, I try not to tell jokes that actually need to be /s tagged.
Nah. /s tag is a good call. Never saw one that looked out of place in use.
Comedians have been using the written word for eons. Some jokes don't land when written, and the real solution wasn't invented this decade.
My personal policy is that if the joke needs a laugh track, a rimshot, or any big sign that says "Joke" being waved, the joke doesn't work.
Your theory seems so well thought out that I'm surprised to see it failing you.
You got me there. You have to admit though, that Lemmy is a challenge for people like me.
Sounds like you got that covered. You don't need me anymore. 🕊️
Lemmy has grown a lot, and Poe's law grows in effect the more Lemmy grows.
I will kill Poe's law or die trying. I hate the idea that we share so little context as a culture that every joke needs a signpost. I fight it my way, but the real war will only be won when global society has enough shared culture for us to make each other laugh without honking a bike horn and giving an exaggerated full-body wink.
Edit: I know I'm being grandiose, you don't gotta point it out
They get a lot of AIPAC money for ads in their district. Outside of it they have no name.
The headline means "AOC is seen as the leader of the Dems and nobody is even close to her".
The DNC chair is not usually an elected congressperson, and AOC is absolutely not looking for that job. They're just talking about the person people think about as the leader.
