DW: Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) announced on Sunday that she is no longer using Facebook and is cutting back on all social media for health reasons associated with being too engaged with social media.
“I actually think that social media poses a public health risk to everybody,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “There are amplified impacts for young people, particularly children under the age of 3 with screen time. But I think it has a lot of effects on older people. I think it has effects on everybody. Increased isolation, depression, anxiety, addiction, escapism.”
“I personally gave up Facebook, which was kind of a big deal because I started my campaign on Facebook,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. “And Facebook was my primary digital organizing tool for a very long time. I gave up on it.”
“Like every once in a while, you’ll see me hop on Twitter on the weekends, but for the most part, I take consumption of content, when it comes to consumption and reading, I take the weekends off,” Ocasio-Cortez added. “And so I’m not, like, scrolling through trying to read everything online that journalists are writing on weekends. I try to do that during the workweek.”
While many of Ocasio-Cortez’s critics and fans believe that her social media game is her greatest strength, Ocasio-Cortez has become a frequent punching bag on social media: Many of the things that she has posted are misleading, offensive, or both. Here are just a few examples:
Bottem linkie no workie. Goes to bad page.
Certainly not her brain health.
What’s next? – her musings on her tiny bowel movements?
So she’s finally admitting the frailty of her mental health?
Her POLITICAL health. I guess Nancy had that little “talk” with her.
Nancy “made her an offer she couldn’t refuse.”
she got spanked by pelosi
“And so I’m not, like, scrolling through trying to read everything online that journalists are writing on weekends. I try to do that during the workweek.”
she should be working on legislation during the workweek, not shopping for shoes
Her health or our health?
Curing people of social media addiction could be a profitable business. There are clinics for alcoholics that use aversion therapy – the patients take some kind of nausea inducing drug. I’m not sure if they then do a lot of in-clinic drinking or what but they quickly begin to associate drinking with gut wrenching nausea. A lot of puking is involved.
After a lot of this for several days they don’t even want to smell alcohol let alone drink it.
A social media addiction clinic to kick social media could work I suppose.
Advertise on Facebook. Haha!
“. . .children under the age of 3. . .”
The AOC audience most affected by this sad news.
She just can’t handle the rips and burns.
Have a mental breakdown already you pussy.
she’ll be back- after she erases her previous history
she needs the attention
So, did she announce this on Facebook or Twitter?
The old story of being able to dish it out but not being able to take it.
Foot-in-Mouth Disease is hard to cure, and not just contracted through social media.
Aw, hell. I’ll miss her.
Krazy Kotex just needs to surround herself with a smarter group of people like any random 1st-grade class attending either a private or home school!
What did that other worthless chick yammer??
“I’m NOTHING without my following!!”
Orapio-Kotex will be suffering narcissistic withdrawals by Humpday.
Should I send this vapid ho a get well card?
If she’d cut back on social ism, she’d be even healthier.
She could have quietly cut way back, without the big announcement and the health drama.
Wait, no. She couldn’t do that. Not in a million years.
Goodbye, Boss we hardly knew ye!
She can’t take the heat caused by her own inflammatory remarks and behavior.

Now I feel bad for comparing her to Dora the Explorer….
sorta’… I mean Boots is probably more upset than I am.
Because 3 year olds are all over social media. She can’t even quit right.
Ohhhh… she was nutso, L-O-N-G before FAZEbook was invented! 😳
She was at the end of her rope. Too bad she had even that much left. BTW, she’s staying on TWITTER. Just leaving FACEBOOK.
Too tempting for her to say something stupid on FB; which in turn reflects badly on the Party.
Sweetie, I believe that ship left the harbor some time ago.
