1. When I see "AOC", I alway think of this place

12. you inspired hunger 🤔. That is a great place.

2. It wasn't a right wing lead. Her name is long. If we talk about her a lot (which is good for her)

the shortening of it was inevitable.

And your assertion that it is not respectful is ridiculous. Is FDR or JFK disrespectful? Is Joe? Hillary? Barack? Nancy? We shorten all of our respected leaders' names.

We have a lot of things to worry about. This is not one of them.

20. And I've been talking a lot about her

Because she’s super sharp and focused on some great things. 👍
I was cautiously skeptical at first but I’m won over.
Hope to vote for her to be president in 2028.

3. As a former paralegal...

I see “Administrative Office of the Courts” when AOC appears anywhere. Her name is pretty simple, as most names are. Well, except for Mayor Pete! Still working on that last name 😊

10. Say "Buddha-judge" or "boot-edge-edge," with the stress on "boot." Both come pretty close. nt

[unblock]

8. And stop calling Franklin Delano Roosevelt "fdr" while you're at it!

[Raine]

21. also JFK , RFK

these have been used for decades and I'm going to continue.

[Mosby]

9. I use PBO all the time, and HRC

So do lots of people, and lots of people here abbreviate Bernie as BS.

Your appeal isn't about respect, it's about branding that you personally don't care for.

Sorry.

[bigtree]

11. here's her twitter account

...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

[TheBlackAdder]

13. +1 She's owning it.

[pnwmom]

15. I didn't hear anyone complaining about HRC or JFK. AOC probably doesn't mind

that she is already so famous, at 29, she's known by her initials.

[Celerity]

16. Fux News uses her for so much of their programming they surely must owe her royalty cheques by now!

[OhNo-Really]

19. A new Female Democrat to terrify the men with.

Same schtick, different century

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

17. Barack Obama was sometimes referred to as "BHO".

Or, for those too embarrassed to embrace his middle name, he could be called "PBO".

AOC is probably pleased by the reference by initials. It shows she's getting attention.
