Am I the only one who is concerned about masks?

Indiana, maybe 15% of people wear a mask.
They were completely disregarded in the wake of the vaccine and the July 4th "victory over COVID" celebration at the white house.

Personally, were I a congressional person I would not want to act in ways that would open myself to charges of hypocrisy. I would not be in a party trying to promote the wearing of masks and then....

Suppose I might feel differently if I lived in a State where they took things more seriously and employed some sort of mask or vaccine Nazism. If my experience was "papers please" and then a Democrat goes and flagrantly flaunts the rules....

And Florida of all places... suggesting Republican policy is favored among Democrats.

I suppose that is a PR issue.

Florida, of all places means a place where Covid is having very high infection rates, in part because of mask resistance.

It's very hard for someone to be perfect.
That may be. My problem is with my assumptions. I can’t imagine somebody with that important a job and with such important responsibilities being that stupid. And additionally, I doesn’t even know if I have all the facts to even warrant that suspicion. I just know a shit storm was generated.

It's not like she made a real mistake, rather it is a public image mistake. Thing is... she is young and likely cannot imagine all the ways her opponents will view her. Even an older and experienced "super predator" like Hillary Clinton couldn't quite read the tea leaves. Which is certainly not just a Democrat problem.

I have not lived through much of a lockdown or restricted life style these past two years. I do not truly know what life is like in those big blue cities or states. I imagine, but I cannot know. Have Democrat policies against COVID enraged and angered masses of people? Is the leadership flaunting the rules a grievous error?

Perhaps this topic should not be about AOC, but in how the policy they cannot consistently follow is actually terrible in-itself. Perhaps it never should have been pursued with such zeal if one can simply disregard it to go on vacation with the comforts of a Republican-lead restriction free paradise. If they cannot follow the rules, perhaps the rules were a mistake and we should ponder a topic of how harmful the crusade against COVID was for the next election. If they really did make peoples lives hell and breed resentment.

Wonder where a poll would place the general public on such issues.

Yes but isn't the greatest revenge you can get on haters not giving them a tangible excuse to hate you. Imagine being in hell with nobody to blame, nobody you suspect is really better off than you whom you can try to change places with by putting them down. Isn't that what got Jesus up on the cross as was his conscious intention.
Dear Moonbeam,

AOC did not give them an excuse to hate her. Tucker did back to back segments criticizing Biden for wearing a mask outside and criticizing AOC for not wearing a mask outside. You are a victim of doublethink.

Regards,

Your transparently self-aggrandizing mystical crap is getting seriously old now. Does the Moonbot have any other modes?

.... getting?

Actors need an audience to play there pedantic pretentious pontifications to.

The last curtain fell on that show years ago.

She couldn't attend sessions of congress because of the health risks. Instead she went to Florida to have some fun in the sun, where she may/may not have picked up the rona. Now she'll get the finest health care on the planet, call herself a survivor, and commit to doing whatever it takes to STOP THE SPREAD.

It would have worked if she hadn't gone all crazy bitch and said that republican's hate her cause she won't date them. Now she looks like a vapid, self centered airhead. Not a surprising thing in congress, but not a good look on anyone.

Wow! Not only was your post full of incorrect information but you certainly seem triggered by her as well. It’s funny how when it comes to anything dealing with the right, you are the first guy to say, well hold on now…, but when it comes to someone on the left, man on man, are you quick to jump on the bandwagon.

Tell me you are a partisan hack without telling me you are a partisan hack.

He is the worst. A partisan hack who thinks they are a reasonable moderate.

Just an observation. Who actually says something like that? AOC is an attractive woman, but that statement puts her on the wrong side of the crazy/hot line.

It could be that I'm just cranky this morning, have the flu and I'm at the point where dying doesn't seem like such a horrible option.

You do know on her first day in Congress a bunch of young Republican incels followed her down the halls taking pictures of her ass.

Think she has some reason to say that?

So conservatives are allowed to publicly and relentlessly attack her for years but if she reacts publicly she's crazy. Got it.

I'm not sure I would use the word "date" but conservative incels certainly have and do lust after her. It's pretty nuts.
That's more than a little odd.
I don't believe I know an incel. The few young men I have dealings with are for the most part men.

Or the rona. Did a home test that was negative. Supposed to do another one after 36 hours but there are none to be had.
The fever is a killer. Thought it had abated around 3 Sunday morning, after rattling all night like a snare drum on meth. Came back last night for an encore performance.
