You implied more than once the problems in her district are the responsibility of the local government and that AOC is not able to do anything at her federal level to solve them.

Now you say you didn't say there is nothing she can do after grilling us on "what do you suggest she do?"  And you're now qualifying "it's a local problem" with "primarily."

Then you reversed again saying Mazie can't do anything about China Town homelessness.

People in higher level positions of government absolutely have influence over the problems in their districts.  They have meetings with governors and mayors all the time to discuss problems and strategies including what THEY can do to help.

Stop moving the goal posts.  You're talking in circles.  They can help, or they can't help.  One or the other.

You should understand my comments within the context of the roles and responsibilities of officials at various levels of government. I "qualified" my statements because you wanted to go outside of those bounds to unofficial powers like using influence to achieve some sort of goal. I cannot deny that AOC could try and use her fame to influence local officials but that is not how government is supposed to work. If prostitution was a problem in your neighborhood you call the cops, not the FBI. Then if the cops need help, such as an interstate prostitution ring or funds to fight prostitution then they can ask the feds to get involved.

This is only a story here because people love attacking AOC. If AOC is to blame then there is a long list of people at the state and local level who bear way more blame. It is no different than the left trying to blame Trump for something that went wrong way down the food chain.

"This is only a story here because people love attacking AOC"

Might as well substitute "Trump" for "AOC" in most of your TDS posts.    :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

It's a story because people in her district are pointing out her failures.

We're not making this up or writing our own blogs.  This is what the people she represent have to say.

I point out to far left individuals all the time when a story is just a story because they want to hurt Trump.

Sure, people are actually grumbling, I never said no one was complaining.

Try again.

I don't need to try again. 

You said, "This is only a story here because people love attacking AOC."

i already proved you wrong.  It's not only a story here because people love attacking AOC.  People in her district who voted for her are grumbling.
