I'm thinking this FAQ thing is an inexperience gaffe. AOC's staff probably thought that everyone sees the real world the way it really is, naively forgetting that half the country lives in their own fantasy land.

I can relate. As a union steward, the first time I filed a grievance, I put way too much information in it, giving management a blueprint for how they could proceed against this claim. We walked into the hearing, and they nailed my ass to the wall, and they let it be known that they were enjoying it.

Never made that mistake again. So, you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and vow to only make new mistakes here on out. As was said, the Republicans would have come up with the same or worse on their own, but there's no need to give them ammunition.

AOC can console herself with the fact that no one remembers the gaffes an inexperienced Nancy Pelosi may have made when she started out.

Remember Mr. Sardonicus? Guy discovers that he buried his father with a winning lottery ticket in his pocket. I saw that on Houlihan and Big Chuck on a Friday night after the news, and it scared the shit out of me.
