Listening to AOC's whiny twaddle makes many of us nauseated.

Yep. I quit using FB too. Don’t miss at all

I support her but I had to stop following her on Twitter because I was constantly getting attacked for the positive comments I was leaving

Keeping my FB! It’s more to it than politics!!

She is not wrong.

well she hasn't stop using Twitter

And it too is FAKE NEWS YOU CANNOT TRUST FACEBOOK WHEN YOU GET TO EFFECTIVE CRITICIZING THEIR SPONSERS THE PUT YOU ON HOLD FOR A MONTH USING SOME PHONEY CLAIM OF VIOLATED THEIR WHATEVER

She’s got dope memes circulating 😂 of course she doesn’t want to be tagged and see them. She’s another reason why our party is shit right now.

Is AOC a ... health risk , too?

Good now give up Twitter

😂😂🧕

FB Is like whatever thing, one day is useful and next day is boring.

So why is she still on Twitter ?

Nothing of which she is qualified to diagnose but fist thing she does taking office is make sure her BF has access to her calendar online. Trying to scare you.

It really is a shame, FB is much more honest than twitter. People like AOC can’t buy “likes” on FB like they do twitter and make it look like they are much more popular than they are.

If Social Media is a health risk, I’msure she will also give up Twitter and Insta.

WTFC

I stopped using FB around two yrs ago. Have not regretted it.

Its not fun at all sorry Mark Zuckerberg!

This is why

She’s not correct very often, but I agree with her here.

Cos everyone blows her up she has no clue on the country!!

Good. Omar should , too !!! dems2020

Facebook is harsh! It really has fallen by the wayside. facebook

Interesting and this article about it was posted on social media.

I just have it for pics. I delete all political and hateful posts. Mine is just about sewing and grandbabies

Thats because you have to have friends on Facebook. Twitter is just everyone randomly yelling an some ppl going “hey that dude yell something I like” *drool* LOL!!!!

SHE is a public health risk.

She is too dumb to log in.

Twitter is much less toxic, everyone is a friend here.

Look. I've stopped using Facebook, because I got locked out of it. Not because of the 'health risks'. But, the things I said.

If she's talking about someone who has or has had seizures, maybe she ought to check her facts first.

Give Facebook a miss This social platform is out of control.

It’s been taken over by right-wing hate mongers like all of social media

Haven't had shitbook for 4 years now.

and I agree. FB is addictive and I'll be the first one to admit it.

thedailybeast thedailyhum0r FacebookDown

Facebook is past.

She’s dumb as a box of rocks, but she’s right about FB. It’s sucks.

This all wouldn't be necessary if we would just do away with anonymous fix the internet and phone calls so that whoever calls is id'd

So disappointed in USA Today choice of news

Besides the issues of privacy, Facebook is just too cumbersome to use now.

Gave up FB about a year ago, got tired of family and friends being lowkey bigots, Haha

She can’t take the heat

Fck_Zck

My experience with Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, etc., is confidential, also known as, between the Fraud Unit of the IRS, in Fresno, CA, the Federal Trade Commish, and I. Need I say more? NOPE! Europe kicked his ASS. God Bless C-Span!!!

I unfortunately I had to get back on messenger just to find my friends. I do refuse to get a profile though

Good. I was sick of seeing her obnoxious tweets.

But Twitter is healthy...

I stopped using it a couple years ago.

DeleteFacebook

Facebook just got so much better. Also, are you trying to rival Fox News in AOC mentions? You kind of seem “obsessed” with her

I stopped because they banned me for 30 days for bullying. I called someone who called me a “Faot Nier” a “bigot”. He’s still active.

Note to USA Today.:.

So the Right took FB. This is like playing Risk. The battle for the country of twitter continues.

Ahhhem

Uset toll toll

I keep hearing this and always wonder if my friends number will go down, but for the last year it has remained steady at 671. So not sure you are telling the truth here.

DitchFacebook

If Cortez can't handle the 'stress' of having a Facebook account, how can she handle the stress of holding public office? Anyone who caves under the pressure of social media doesn't need to hold a political office.

facebook is ran by sissies
