Not sure how it got "autocorrected" for me (did that search from my laptop), but I started with a cut and paste in my search. Weird. Thats what I get for trying to look it up quickly between meetings.

It is her father's surname. Cortez is her mother's surname. In American custom she would go by "Alexandria Ocasio", while in Hispanic she would use both her father's and mother's name: "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez". Why she chose to use exclamations on Ocasio only, I don't know. I'd guess some marketing team came up with it, to appeal to both the Hispanic and non-Hispanic voters who live in the district.

So Dems created vaccine hesitancy politics, while Repugnants continue to keep playing that fiddle?... Why don't we just stop listening to all the politicians?

Schooling a guy named paco on a message board about Hispanic culture. Well done.

I believe her name is still Anglicized. In Hispanic culture, you put the father's surname first, and then the mother's surname, but you don't hyphenize it. And in day-to-day nomenclature, only the father's surname is used. A good example is Roberto Clemente. His full name is Roberto Enrique Clemente Walker, with Clemente being his father's surname, and Walker being his mother's surname. Everyone called him Roberto Clemente, dropping his mother's surname. Actually, his mother's surname was so unused that the Baseball Hall of Fame got his full name wrong, and originally enshrined him as Roberto Walker Clemente, before changing his plaque to Roberto Clemente Walker about 15 years ago.

So we are in agreement. No idea why but seems nonsensical.

So let me see if I am clear on this. Repugs are not getting vaccinated in higher numbers than Dems, because they are believing Dem supposed vaccine hesitancy ?? So they are telling us that Repugs are doing what Dems tell them to do ?? Call me crazy, but I am not buying it.
July 21, 20214 yr So I guess Joe and Kamala didn't poo poo the idea of a vaccine released under the Trump administration in order to gain political favor, potentially putting thousands of Americans unnecessarily at risk? OK sport - carry on

July 21, 20214 yr "Mississippi, with their 32% vax rate, is getting crushed by delta because they listened to the democrats!" is exactly the type of big brain takes I expect to see from trumpbots when I come to CVON.

Trumplicans are out of control with projection. Every single thing they are demonstrably guilty of they project in the Democrats. And morons like those in this thread eat it up.
