What is that from?
I am so glad I do not get judged for brands as a man.
I got a huge pay raise some years back (moving to consultant role) and said to a (platonic) lady friend of mine that I had started buying nicer shoes.
So I told her, “Steve Madden”, and she said “That’s it???”
Worst crap I have gotten about fashion.

They must be really, really scared of her if they’re already trashing her.

I am working on a personal riposte to when lunch break talk turns to this, as I have some trolls at work. Right now I am going with “we were going to talk about [Medicaid reform/racism/debt reform/etc] and you go off on a tangent about appearances? What is wrong with you?” It seems to work, as the troll gets grumpy and starts going on the defensive, long enough for the topic to change.

They did the same with Jeremy Corbyn in the UK too.

The more they let her talk, the more they lose control of how crazy far to the right they’ve slammed the Overton Window. And the more their voters discover they actually agree with her.

Saw this at the Prince Charles cinema in London 2 years ago, it was a great singalong and clearly loved by audience members born years after it was released.
And I hate to say it but I think Byrne topped that show this year:
(so good I went twice!)

I don’t think they were ever given that chance, not really. Women being elected to political office didn’t suddenly eliminate expectations of how women are supposed to dress (expectations that clash with the Congressional male default) any more than an African-American man being elected President suddenly made us a post-racial society.
It’s understandable that a person who doesn’t have the privilege of wearing the default will try to leverage what she is allowed to wear.

That’s the sense I get. They’re trying to discount her ideas and positions by reducing her to a brand identity (“she sells herself as a proletarian icon”). Then they either mock it (“haha, she’s too poor to live where her new job is”) or call its authenticity into question (“haha, she isn’t dressing like what she claims to be”) or both.
Anything to avoid discussing her positions, ones that are supported by a lot more Americans than conservative pundits and politicians (and some in the Dem establishment) are comfortable acknowledging.

A couple of items in the news that support this -
and - her positions posted on Faux as horrible ideas -

The only thing missing on that list of awesome things is “taco trucks on every corner”. OAC really needs to add that to her platform.

And really- isn’t the commenters job getting men to leave all that nonsense behind and change their sartorial behavior? Clean up your own closet first

Hey now, some of those Congressmen will wear a bright and whimsical necktie to work … once or twice a year.

And a Christmas sweater! But not an ugly one - that’s for staffers.
