International How Do you think AOC handled this?

[Cajun]

Right. I think we're getting signals crossed here. I'm saying that the far right is more mainstream, but the far left is not mainstream.

Most anti abortion groups wouldn't be considered far right in conservative circles but I get what you are saying. There are more that the left would consider far right which I also get. Point made

 

[Cajun]

I was also out with clients last night and find myself in a bit of a fog atm @Jack V Savage . You will have to forgive me today

 

[RoastBeast]

@Andy Capp, note that you never see non-crazy Republicans calling out SN/Rob/Whippy/types. And you never see far-right types harassing far-right Republicans in gov't. The reason is that there's very little distinction between the mainstream right and the crazies. But there is a big gap between the crazy left and the mainstream left.

lol Jack is back everyone

 

[Sinister]

AOC definitely should have handled being questioned about things she did or didn't say with the utmost dignity and class of someone who represents the American people:

 

[RoastBeast]

Vast majority of right wingers don't give a shit about MTG. I don't know why you guys are always posting her clips as if she's a deity to us or something. She's a clown who is unfit for office like many of them.

 

[ferrisjso]

That's kind of my recollection too.

But these far-left nutters are addicted to catastrophizing. There's a poster here (@ferrisjso, I think) who calls the lack of single payer "genocide." Not reducing emissions fast enough is genocide now. McDonald's being out of hot mustard sauce is genocide.

It is a genocide.

And the fact you're splitting on the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people your kind caused the death of. Killling them for profit isn't enough for you, you need to normalize it.

I know this govt commits and facilitates so many genocides its hard to keep track of it all lol.

Actively trying to make the planet your species lives on uninhabitable is not a genocide its even worse. Theres not an "ide" phrase for it tbh.

 

[Morning Star]

On one hand I'm no fan of harassing politicians out in Public like this. I think it's fine if you want to protest outside of their office or at Congress, but I don't think they should be stalked like this it could lead to some nutter shooting or stabbing her. On the other hand she has in the past encouraged this type of behavior so it's hard to feel completely sorry for her. Regardless of that I still don't care for it and I thought she handled it well.

"But what about..."

Nothing but the best Trump supporters lol.

 

[koquerelle]

- you should make people uncomfortable!
- no, not like that!


AOC finally meets leftists ultimate suicide weapon - purity tests.

It's why I have zero empathy for her or anyone of her ilk. Remember when MTG was "attacked" at a restaurant? She couldn't act civilized for a State of Union speech and she expects people to act nice around her. Fuck all these buffoons.

It is a genocide. Its not enough to support the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people you have to normalize their deaths and defend the killers in the health insurance industry(I had to clarify who I mean because you support so many killers).

Not reducing emissions is not a genocide its worse there isn't a term to describe how evil making your own planet uninhabitable is. It will be the ultimate legacy of capitalism and bougie democracy. And unlike genocides which are healed with the passage of time future generations will always feel the physical mantifestation of your evil.

I know the US is committing and supporting so many genocides its hard to keep track. This is the whole Israelis using their number of human rights complaints as some sort of gothca as if complaining a certain number of times means it all BS. No we're calling a lot of things genocide because the US and neoliberalism has committed a lot of genocides. Its hard to keep track yes and we're throwing around the term genocide alot these days. If its hard to keep track maybe you should stop doing atrocities.

This post is a human-rights disaster. Stop genociding me, bro.

I’ve never been followed around with a camera like that. If I were an elected official, I’d just keep saying that I’ve answered the question already and have no further comment. She gave the people
What they wanted. I’d say she handled it a 3/10.

Yeah once they become belligerent, it is best to give them nothing. Agree with their opinions or not, you cannot give people like that anything.

 

[ferrisjso]

I think they do a pretty good job. Hence the hatred the far left has for normal liberals. Crazy rightists actually control the GOP (hence Trump). Crazy leftists are shunned by the mainstream left.

Because your entire purpose is preventing resistance to capitalism and being controlled opposition. And you do a whole dog and pony show how we are undermining the meaningless drivel you do when in reality your entire political purpose is to undermine people whose identity you've stolen. By pretending to be the left you will be public enemy number 1 to leftists. An honest enemy will always be held in higher regard than lying backstabbing conmen. I think the reason neoliberals all hate Trump so much(and I get hating Trump by the way but I mean the obsession with him as an individual) is because he reminds them of themselves.

You are a crazy righttist. Being a crazy rightist means believing in capitalism not whatever cultural nonsense you believe it does. You go on and on about how extreme we are. The "normal liberals" are responsible for that perception to whatever extent that is true. Extreme is defined by substance not numbers. And your ideology has spread facism around the globe while pretending to oppose it. You don't oppose fascism you oppose looking like a fascist because you know that leads to you getting overhthrown. So you mask your real intent between BS about human rights and democracy.

The neoliberal order is 30 years old and the non mainstreaming of socialism is the same age. There is nothing inherently logical or natural about it. Most of the smartest people whove ever lived have supported socialism. Look at Albert Einstein. 1991 was not the end of history you are simply trying to make your temporary victory permament by saying your temporary victory is permament. And that shit is why you're going to lose. Capitalism is incapable of stopping at a point where people are satisfied enough to keep things the way they are. If people are okay with things in 2024 the MBAs will keep pushing until the country is in flames. They don't know how to contrain themselves. Thats one things the kings understood they were rulers and they had to keep everyone happy to a certain extent. Thats why they lasted so long things were never getting worse and people never felt a sense of urgency to rebel. Things were the same as they always were after all. By selling yourselves a bullshit fantasy about how capitalist society is superior, natural and normal you've doomed your whole ideology to failure.

I'm extreme but your ideology literally operates like a cancer cell.

 

[ferrisjso]

Those criticizing the left for purity tests don't understand the right doesn't need purity tests because they control everything. The left needs purity tests because they have no representation in congress. Any representation the left has gotten in media has been temporary and every single leftist media figure has either sold out or sold themselves a fantasy of a red/brown alliance.

 

[Super_Nintendo]

I've been telling you for 10 years that random idiots that you see on social media are not the mainstream left.

and yet mainstream democrats deem that they have a seat at the table, have their ideology installed in schools, the courts, every big HR department in the country, and treat them as if their insanity matters. "they're not mainstream left" and yet all their shit's in the mainstream.

and yet mainstream democrats deem that they have a seat at the table, have their ideology installed in k-12, the courts, and every business and HR department in the country, and treat them as if their insanity matters. "they're not mainstream left" and yet all their shit's in the mainstream.

But they don't. And crazy rightists like Trump, Vance, etc. are as mainstream as it gets.

they DO, and you're back to being unreasonable.

the biggest teacher's unions openly push hard left principles in schools (CRT, queer theory, and globalist propaganda). don't believe me, check this post out...

the democratic party is no longer liberal, it's been co-opted by radicals and those are the people dems caters to and take orders from. the party died 10 years ago and commies are using it as a skinsuit.

The socialists use "liberal" as a slur at times and use phrases like "class traitor". Nobody likes them, they cant even stand each other.

They also look at soc dems like AOC and Bernie as being too capitalistic.

Then they go and cosplay in rallies wearing berets, hammer and sickle signs, and call each other "comrade". Buncha dorks

We have nothing in the mainstream media even if we are mainstream numerically. You're pretending we do so you can push the country even further right. Its a manipulation tactic where the side that controls everything says the oppressed minority really controls everything so they can push for even more dominance then they already have. Its why the libertarians pretend to be oppressed(some just want to feel like rebels I presume) when the country is dominated by their cancerous ideology. But by posturing that the country isn't libertarian they can preempt any resistance.

The courts are controlled by the fascist federalist society. The universitys are dominated by capitalist donors. Its just bull. Leftists did have some representation in the humanities and thats a big reason why they've been starved. I think this was more during the Cold War when capitalist society had to acknowledge socialism as part of the world to some extent.
