      Pinboard Retweeted John Hendel

      Ocasio-Cortez spent at least $4.2 million on Facebook ads in 2019-2020. Almost all these ads simply solicit further donations in a kind of fundraising ouroboros. Her criticism of Facebook could carry more moral weight (at no cost to her!) if she didn't give them so much money.https://twitter.com/JohnHendel/status/1349369497145241605 …

      .@AOC dinged Facebook last night for fomenting anti-democratic discord "Zuckerberg, too, creating recommendation engines, just funneling millions of people into white supremacist groups and organizations. He recommended it, he built the platform for it, he accelerated this.”

      Facebook is a monopoly, there's no escaping it. Just like you can't live life today without some reliance on fossil fuels -- even if you're campaigning to reduce their usage. Not communicating on Facebook would in fact impose a huge handicap on @AOC or anyone.

      You should tell that to the Democrats in her neighboring districts who spent nothing on Facebook ads.

      Obviously, none of those neighbors were being incessantly and incendiarily targeted by a whole political party and the president, trying to define her before she has a chance—the way it happens to so many talented politicians, especially if they are women.

      Okay, so let's compare with talented, targeted women who are in the same situation—other members of the Squad. Pramila Jaypal is similarly targeted, and gave $438 to Facebook. Ilhan Omar spent $5348. Ayanna Pressley appears to have spent nothing.

      To make the comparison fair, it would have to include indirect digital spending (by organizations like Middle Seat) that went to FB. I don't have the figures at hand, but they are vastly lower even in aggregate than what AOC spends just on Facebook direct buys.

      It's also revealing to look at the content of the Facebook ads AOC runs. These aren't attempts to carve our an identity in the face of attacks. It's just pitch after pitch after pitch to donate money... money that gets spent on more such ads. It's not even kept for later use!

      I think it's pretty clear that which of the squad has a chance and a future at the national level. As for the content: I've seen them. It's both. She's putting herself out there and building her own name-recognition and her list. It's called ambition, not hypocrisy.

          Nancy Pelosi is the most attacked woman in American politics and spends less than 1/4 on digital ads than AOC gives to Facebook alone. I'm glad you've seen some ads you like, but we can also look at them systematically where the mind-numbing repetition is obvious

          I get it; it's hard out there for ambitious women and you sympathize. But there's a Facebook spending addiction problem in the AOC campaign that is not doing anyone any good except Zuckerberg

          Does AOC need more name recognition, even if she want to run for president at some point?
