Nobody has ever accused Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) of being the brightest bulb, but her latest message is earning more mockery than usual.
While most Americans were voting based on major issues such as the economy, immigration, and global tension, AOC urged voters to turn out because of… the weather.
Yes, seriously.
It’s 70 degrees in New York in the first week of November. Please vote.

“It’s 70 degrees in New York in the first week of November. Please vote,” she wrote early Tuesday morning.
Extreme Weather Watch, a website founded in 2021 that makes it easy to search weather records by state, indicates that the warmest year on record is 1950 when it was in the 80s on November 1st and 2nd.
X users had a field day with the desperate Election Day message:
Is Kamala going to control the weather better than trump?

New York City has reached 70° during the month of November a total of 156 other times since records began in 1869, including seven times in November 1953.
Which of these instances was due to climate change? Can you rub your crystal ball and give us some insight?

Vote for Harris, who won’t ban fracking and is currently fighting wars for oil? Vote for the VP of Biden, who drilled more than Trump? You don’t even make sense. If you cared about the climate crisis, you’d be voting Jill Stein.

If the implication here is that it will be colder in November with a Dem in charge this isn’t exactly a winning message. https://t.co/mjGYR66k5c
