Never ask Twitter for ‘help, AOC. That should be the first thing she teaches congress about social media.
Does anyone find it strange that AOC has to teach members of congress how to use social media? Sure, she makes a lot of noise and gets a lot of attention (that Instagram video was a doozy) but it’s not like her attention is always a good thing.
Eh, what do we know?
Good morning everyone! ?
I’m teaching my once-a-term digital / social media session for members of Congress today.
Help me help them! What do you wish you saw more of digitally from your elected officials? Who’s doing a great job that you think others can learn from? Lmk ⬇️
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) February 3, 2021
Folks on Twitter offered up a plethora of suggestions.
Heh.
"Social Media Drama Queen 101"

That could work.
How dumb does one have to be to learn anything from you?
Just a question.

How to better communicate with constituents and also basically give civics lessons and explain how things work becaaaaause most people don’t get it.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Yes, we laughed.
All members of Congress should tweet random goth lyrics at least once a week.

At least then they’d be remotely interesting.
Fair.
@LaurenBoebert is doing the best job of them all.

Oof.

True story.
A paradigm shift: stop thinking of social media as a place to ‘broadcast’ or push a message – but rather a place to listen and authentically engage with people.

Actual good advice for legislators … think they’ll listen?
Go talk to the actual people in your district and use live streaming on social media so everyone can see it and you can see your constituents.

I would like to see much less government people on social media and all media in general. ?

No drama queen liars. So tell them to not follow your lead, @AOC .

Well her teaching anything is a reach!
