That's a pretty big stretch EffieBlack Jan 2019 #2
You know how the media is; if they will it that's it. She's a star!!!! n/t monmouth4 Jan 2019 #3

Didn't just 13% of her district vote? cwydro Jan 2019 #56
You make an excellent point. NurseJackie Jan 2019 #58
People seem to think there was some kind of massive turnout and landslide victory. cwydro Jan 2019 #59
And that it had huge national ramifications EffieBlack Jan 2019 #62
Last I heard there are 435 members of the House, many in very important positions and.... George II Jan 2019 #122
Turnout for the June primary was only 11.8%, she got 6.8% of the registered Democrats.... George II Jan 2019 #75
How is that different than previous elections? progressoid Jan 2019 #120
Not until recently. I don't know of any other states that have separate primaries.... George II Jan 2019 #126
But they've been doing this since at least 2012. progressoid Jan 2019 #136
Yep! Many of those that I know in New York were unaware of the two primaries.... George II Jan 2019 #138
That may change within this legislative session. TexasTowelie Jan 2019 #134
Thanks! cwydro Jan 2019 #153
I do believe you are correct. sheshe2 Jan 2019 #84
Sounds like she may have a better sense than some of her fans of the work she has to do to move up EffieBlack Jan 2019 #128
Yes, good for her! betsuni Jan 2019 #133

That's not evidence of your premise. LanternWaste Jan 2019 #11
Evidence of popularity on Twitter. EffieBlack Jan 2019 #13

It's pretty bizarre, isn't it? EffieBlack Jan 2019 #16
Didn't that backpack kid "rocket" into social media stardom too? cwydro Jan 2019 #61
Kim Kardashian and Ellen DeGeneres each have about 50x the number of followers EffieBlack Jan 2019 #65
Difference is that Trump's generation is overrepresented in politics crazycatlady Jan 2019 #96
As we've learned in the last year or so, "social media" activity.... George II Jan 2019 #129
Not to mention that Twitter isn't the real world EffieBlack Jan 2019 #131

"Twitter interactions" ehrnst Jan 2019 #28
80% of all twitter users are outside the United States, more than 70% are outside her "generation". George II Jan 2019 #77
Twitter? sheshe2 Jan 2019 #85
I know. She's got 0.00 followers on MySpace Voltaire2 Jan 2019 #90
OK, progressoid Jan 2019 #107
She's far behind Trump on that metric. Does that make him "the voice" of his generation? (nt) ehrnst Jan 2019 #194
If you say so. That settles it, I guess. (nt) ehrnst Jan 2019 #17

Claiming she must have had an original (albeit unidentified) idea in high school EffieBlack Jan 2019 #111

I don't get why people get so angry when one doesn't gush about her. ehrnst Jan 2019 #196
You do know that millennials are underrepresented as voters, right? Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2019 #197
Millenials were surging in political actions taken from July 2016- July 2017. ehrnst Jan 2019 #199
Her transcript isn't a metric of political ideology or originality. (nt) ehrnst Jan 2019 #195
Didn't claim it was a metric of political ideology. Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2019 #198
You made the case that she has "original political ideas" because of her scholastic acheivements. ehrnst Jan 2019 #200
No I didn't. Nice try, though. Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2019 #201
You did. ehrnst Jan 2019 #216
I have. I disagree. Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2019 #217
