Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she can’t afford apartment in DC until she receives congressional salary

[Muddy]

Oh no... That's HERS... *claws out*

[RBP]

The median household income in the Bronx is $37,525. The median income in Yorktown Heights, where she lived from age 5, is $108,648.

It's really weird to not be able to find much information on her. Who is this "partner", who scrubbed her social media and why?

[lost in melb.]

I like that she is genuine about some kind of struggle. She'll be wealthy soon though

Genuine with the struggle of not knowing jack shit about the position she was elected to (NY, you're a bunch of fucking idiots), the government of the USA at all, and the economics of the country she's going to be serving for 2 years (maybe less, I'd put money on the possibility that she quits and runs back home with her tail between her legs once she finds out that she can't do jack shit and nobody actually gives a flying shit what she thinks), despite the fact that she has an economics degree from BU.

I'm saying it again: DC is gonna eat her alive.

I tried using the Google machine to try and find out more about her. About this "partner" or whether she's gay or straight or anything like that. Nothing. Anything you find on her is very generic and bland. Sure does make you wonder.

Exactly!

She eats babies with A1 steak sauce.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Exactly!

If I was a conspiracy theorist, I'd say someone went through a whole lot of trouble to backstop her and fabricate an entirely new identity for her

But it IS very odd that you can't find anything. Nothing on Facebook or Twitter or anything about friends and/or family other then the very basic and generic stuff.

It gets weirder the more I read. This whole story about how her father died so she had to work odd jobs to help the family... he died while she was a sophomore at BU (2008) and didn't take a break from school as far as I can tell. There was definitely an estate because she stated she was in a long probate battle, which makes little sense also considering his wife was alive. Then she tried to start a publishing company? huh?

These are different points

I dunno... she looks kinda persistent

For Muddy's enjoyment

That's insane how she scrubbed her background. I read her wiki page a few weeks back and felt like I learned nothing about her.

I just can't get over how much she looks and talks like this chick I went to college with, it makes me feel like I know her This chick was an outspoken bitch in school, always sat at the front of class, loved to correct the teacher or her peers, asked those questions where it's not really a question - they're just showing you how much they know. Most of you probably know the type.
I swear on my mother she used her barely-native status to get into law school because her grades/LSAT weren't strong enough... when she was in fact raised in a nice suburb and had no ties to the first nations community. The best/worst part is I know all about her law career at a Big 5 firm from friends who work with her: She's apparently a sub-par solicitor, but extremely conniving, a victim when convenience, a bully when necessary, a HUGE kiss-ass, and always gaming the system so that she's actually now a Jr. Partner despite everyone hating her. I ran into her at a wedding recently and got to hear first hand from her how amazingly her career is going

Anyways, feels like that's exactly this type of person. Part of me wonders if this girl I knew was a man, if I'd have more respect for her tenacity... but I don't think so.

[RBP]

Yeah, man. Something ain't right. Another chosen one like Obama?
