      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

      Nancy Pelosi is at the end of her career, not the beginning. No politician gets there by refusing to use the mandatory tools of the public sphere and no way to be an ambitious politician in the 21st century without lining up Zuckerberg's pockets. That's just reality.

      I don't think that AOC's use of FB is prima facie hypocritical, but after a couple of weeks following @nandoodles I do think there's a fair chance this circular fundraising is to no avail and there IS a moral case for her to audit. The problem is we can't know if she already has

      Are we mad at AOC for participating in society again?

      Also for being ambitious.

          The three things I hate most. You have unmasked my critique of circular fundraising for what it really is—a profound loathing of ambitious women who participate in society.
