American politics have a serious side effect of headaches from shaking them or facepalming constantly over here in continental Europe (made worse by the weeping over the Brits), but sometimes it’s just bizarre.
Have you heard about that big scandal involving Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?
Well, hold on fast, because these revelations will break your heart. When she was a teenager, she danced and had friends.
Here is America's favorite commie know-it-all acting like the clueless nitwit she is…

And then there’s Elizabeth Warren. Did you know what she did? She drank beer on Instagram!

I hope I have now thoroughly ruined your new year with these groundbreaking revelations of human women doing normal human things.
The AOC video was made when she was in college, and (I believe) slightly older than a teenager. It’s part of a longer music video made by Boston College’s multicultural center as a promotion.
She’s a pretty good dancer, too.
The Boston Globe has the full video, along with some pretty funny responses to this lame attempt to dis her. Here’s a link (but may be behind a paywall): https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/01/03/here-story-behind-that-video-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-dancing-around-shirt/EKbH2b5JUooCFRoitc0eaJ/story.html
Sorry, correction: Boston University, not BC. I should know better.
Late teens, early twenties, all the same when you’re fast approaching 40 ;)
But I agree, people should go and watch the whole video, it’s adorable.
Well, if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had bancrupted multiple companies and did not pay her employees and contractors, she would be widly admired for her business acumen. And if Elizabeth Warren instad of casualy drinking a beer had boasted about how she habitually grabs men by their dicks, her presidential prospects would look all the better for it.
Oh. Sorry, sorry! I forgot. In addition to there being different rules for men than for women, in US politics there are also different rules for republicans than there are for democrats. My bad. Sorry!
