She is publicly taking 'time off' due to needing self care for a job she hasn't even started yet. How will she be able to cope with the stress of the actual job when times get tough?

If she golfs during her time off would that make you feel better?


It would be the same issue I have with Trump, so no. If I took a week off for a job I just stated and claimed I needed a self care week, I would not have a job - nor would many people.


Funny, my job lets me take a week off for whatever the fuck I want. One time I told them "new video game" they're like "cool" and I got a week off.


Did you take a week off right after you started your job?


I personally didn't but we did hire a guy who literally went to Japan for 2 weeks after he was hired and he's still here, and not only he's still here, he's one of the best employees I've ever seen us hire.

But Cortez hasn't even started her job yet officially.

Chances are that employee was hired on the basis that he had a holiday booked and it wasn't 'sprung on' his boss as a surprise. That does happen.

But needing to take a week off for self care right after getting 'hired' does not look good. Yes, she has not 'officially' started, but her bosses are probably weary of this (her electors).

You guys really need to hop off her dick


conservatives are literally scared of her

notice how conservatives keep pearl clutching about her, but none of them care about steve king?

Whataboutism is bad I thought.

Also why would they be scared? Every time she opens her mouth she sounds more ignorant and naive than she did before.

I feel let down by her honestly. I can pinpoint exactly when it happened too: When she tried to turn a simple misunderstanding into some sexism issue when some low level employee at an event didn't recognize her.


clearly you're scared if she's the biggest bogeyman now

The only people I see claiming she's some boogeyman are leftists... normal people just make fun of her idiocy. She is SJW given form, she is a living meme and it's a wonder to behold.


she's becoming an icon of the leftist, what are you talking about.

she strikes me as more similar to a Bernie Sanders-style socdem than an actual leftist

To be fair, this is not about Trump right now. It is a concern that he does what he does, but we need to focus on the subject matter here. It is very similar to 'But Hilary!' is it not? This is why I have said in the past how many parallels between Trump and Ocasio-Cortez there are.

Except those lines aren't parallel at all. You keep on acknowledging that they're not similar, but in the very same breath you're insisting that they still are. Seems like you want to whine just to whine.

Considering she had to quit her paying job to do this, Im not really concerned what she does with her free time before orientation. She cant even hire anyone yet. Hop off her dick lol

"We live in a culture where that kind of lifestyle is subtly celebrated as 'working hard,'" she wrote. "But I will be the first to tell you its NOT CUTE and makes your life harder on the other end (you wake up worse, energy all over the place, etc)"

Awwwww that sounds rough


Taking a week off? She hasnt even began duties yet. Youre pretty much mad that she isnt working for free. She couldnt work right now even if she wanted to.

But hey, youre obviously jealous because a brown woman is having success, and she didnt even have to her thousands of dollars in debt and lose her youth in the process too like certain female doctors from CE.

Dont get me wrong, I actually dislike Ocasio, and I think she is a nut job, but I am quite taken aback with the amount of hate that the GOP has against her.

Where is all of the complaining about 45s multiple trips to his properties to play golf, his multiple hours of executive time m a day and stuff like that?

Why are you so hateful towards an Asian-American working hard to achieve the white man's dream of working hard to become a doctor? There's already proof that colleges are discriminating against those of Asian heritage, so to downplay her success is pretty low.

Close your account.

So why the hand wringing about this other than manufactured controversy?

She should definitely be our next President.


Why not, already seems to have that vacation thing down! Now just to do it on her own property to funnel millions of tax payer money to herself.

So the right hates vacations again?


The left loves them?

Honestly, the whole "Trump is awful, so we should put this awful piece of shit in too because she's on our side thing." really invalidates most of the criticisms people seem to have of Trump.


Yeah, heaven forbid someone point out right wing hypocrisy. The only reason "vacations" are even a thing is because the right lost their ever loving shit over Obama doing it.... then just handwave it away for Donnie and are now back to it being a big deal.

Meanwhile, it's not the actual vacationing itself that is the issue with Donnie, it's the enrichment he gets from it... which you conveniently ignored.
