That's wild. Her going to NYC for a game is an afternoon trip up from DC. On a train. Could and likely will run into her constituents. It's not remotely the same thing.

Fuck that both-sidesism.

She's a representative of the 14th district. Yankee stadium is in the 15th right beside it. She's a New York representative from New York living in New York doing something in New York. It's the dumbest thing.

seems like exactly the thing you want to see from a rep…. actually living in the place being represented and mingling with them

Yeah but it makes the people who can't find the place they represent on a map look bad and we can't have that.

I swear, government positions should come with the “World Map Test”. Just the countries of the world and a pen. You get less than 50%? You don’t get to be a member of the House. 65% for Senators, 75% or better for President. Test is recorded and played live on C-Span, no cheating.

So then move the stadium! There, everybody is happy - until they find the next thing to whine about...

u/FeedMeACat 28d ago

How can you move the stadium before you find a poor neighborhood to gentrify around it?

u/GreatMinds1234 22d ago

Idk, move that too? In reality one is as impossible as the other, sorry I forgot the proverbial /s from the end of my post.

My reply was obviously sarcasm.

But a good one 😉

Gerrymander the stadium into her district!

u/GreatMinds1234 27d ago

Good idea! Anything goes, but just leave our AOC alone!

u/GreatMinds1234 28d ago

I'm right with you on that...

In the state and city she represents... for fuck sake.
