He’s a weirdo. Dude was raving about his 70 year old teacher showing how doggy styled positions. Plus he’s a dishonest hack on top of his weird granny furry fetishes

Nobody's going to bother to point out that a more appropriate attire for Ms. Cortez would have been a paper bag/frugal ensemble with the same message?
Do people today even think at all? This is like an idea a 12 year old comes up with without thinking anything through. This is embarrassing beyond words. Even moreso that there are grown men obsessed with her looks as an excuse for her laughable stupidity.

Wow nice try to white knight. .7/10We need to hear from Rudy Giuliani about this and if the super-secret proof that AOC is a lizard person is locked inside Hunter Biden's laptop!
Yes it does. This is completely wrong.

Why would that be a "more appropriate attire"?
If you think that the goal of her politics is for everyone to dress up in paper bags , live in government housing, and be forced to live off of government gruel, you may have the analytical skills of a 12 year old.
That you guys think this is about simping, and not about addressing these really dumb, juvenile arguments being brought forth is telling of who actually thinks like the 12 year old here.

Sure pal. Imagine a grown woman advocating for the poor dressing up in a 10K dress. What are you, a retard?
She should have dressed normally or frugally, not worn the gown. You guys are fucking lost.

People that would make this complaint are not serious people. They/You are just looking for another reason to bitch about someone that they/you don't like.
Not only did she not pay for the dress, it doesn't belong to her. It's borrowed. So the designer probably doesn't want the dress dragging on the floor, or stepped on. And your response to that is that "she should just carry it herself because the guy is going to look like a slave"..when only a dumbass that already didn't like her would have that thought anyways.
This isn't a 50/50 "I could be wrong, you could be right" thing. People are wearing items of clothing that cost thousands of dollars at a swanky event, I would say it's a pretty safe bet that there are assistants there specifically to help take care of those expensive items of clothing.
You make the most endless dumb complaints over nothing. You could've at least had a complaint of substance like the image of her partying with celebs while Americans starve or some shit---but "a person paid to help take care of her expensive dress at a fashion show looks like a slave"?
At the end of the day, if you cant see the hypocrisy of attending an elitist event for an elitist industry, mask less, wearing a 100k dress that says tax the rich, in a city where people are being forced to wear masks again, you are just not being honest with yourself. It is ok for a Lefty to not like a fellow lefty. Just like many righties didn't love a lot of Trumps actions. AOC is an idiot, says and does idiotic things. You dont have to defend her to keep your liberal card.

Again, you show your age, and lack of any real argument.
Advocating for the poor does not mean you need to live in a fucking shoe box and not own any nice possessions.
This hypocrisy that you are looking for would only make sense if she actually was against any form of capitalism, and wanted some 1950s Russian communism.
The rich can exist so long as they pay their fair share of taxes. You can have a $10,000 dress, so long as you are paying your fair share of taxes. You can have a $5 million dollar house, so long as you pay your fair share of taxes.
You retards seem to have a hard time understanding this really simple point.
Not even to mention that she doesn't even own the dress. It's borrowed for the event.

So the blanket statement 'tax the rich' implies those who aren't paying their fair share.......just randomly. If you're rich (undefined?), you're not paying your fair share (interesting assuptions). Gotcha. LOL.
Clown car. You're a literal stooge.

I feel embarrassed having to explain this to you guys, but the dress she wore put her on the front page of every political news entity in the country. Even the people who claim to dislike her (like yourself, for instance) have spent the last week talking about her. More importantly than that however, they've spent the last week talking about "tax the rich". It's almost as if the dress worked to bring attention to the cause she was trying to bring attention to by wearing the dress. [surprised_pikachu.jpeg]
If AOC had dressed "normally", how much traction would it have gotten? Face it—you guys got played.
Never mind the fact that if she had worn a cheap dress from Target and stitched "tax the rich" on it you clowns would have only bitched about her dressing down and pandering to the masses.

Ah but you're a smart fella and are well aware that the "talk" it generated had absolutely nothing to do with taxation or the wealth gap.
It became a media play, a PR stunt. Nothing more, nothing less.
If you think these games in 2021 are new or important I don't know what to tell you.

yes, the purpose of existence is getting social credit. your message is to make "the other team" talk about you, even if they say negative things. if they do you "win", "you're living rent free in their heads". the only way a politician can exist in the world is by actions that constantly garner status modifiers.
holy fuck what a instagram thot gutter trash mentality.

I don't defend or attack people because they are liberal or conservative. I've said that there are legitimate criticisms of AOC that one can make, I have plenty of my own criticisms of AOC.
I will attack stupid arguments though..and that is the bulk of the arguments that are made when it comes to AOC , and really to most lefty positions. There are legitimate criticisms to make, they just aren't often made by the people on this board,
Is it hypocrisy for an elected Congresswoman to attend an "elitist" event full stop? No. She came to the elitist event with a message against elitisim. She isn't there to get donations from them or make business deals with them. She wasn't secretly "caught" there.
She's not routinely being seen at fancy restaurants every weekend downing $1,000 bottles of wine---she went to one event that politicians are routinely invited to, and she came there with a political message.
She's wearing a dress that she didn't pay for. It's borrowed. Is her wearing borrowed clothing for a magazine photo shoot also hypocritical? Should she tell magazines to spend no money on the hair or makeup or expensive photographer that wants to make her look presentable for print? Would it be hypocritical for her to go to the MTV awards, or do appearances on late night talk shows?
Most of these "hypocrisy" arguments are stemming from this belief that advocating for taxing the rich = you have to be/live poor/frugal...which is not true. This is not "anti-rich".
You can be rich, so long as you pay your fair share in taxes--which is what she is advocating.
When talking about the rich, we aren't talking about upper middle class people. We're talking about a very small percentage of the population hoarding the majority of the wealth.
As I see it, here are some legitimate criticisms that one could make: Her attending the event at all instead of the protest outside of the Met Gala. One could argue that she could have worn that same dress outside the Gala, stood with the protestors and got a similar amount of attention.
You could also criticize her lack of a mask, as you mentioned. And you could criticize going to an event like this while Americans are struggling to keep food on the table or something.
I think those are generally kind of weak arguments, but I get them at least.
BUT, that going to events like this makes her a grifter and hypocrite? And that I am defending her because I want to kiss her toes or some shit? No.
These arguments being made are largely based off of a lack of understanding of what her position is in the first place.

She has talked at length many times about who "the rich" are.
It's not her fault that you clowns can only process information regurgitated to you from rightwing Twitter.
It's "undefined" to ignorant clowns like yourself that have no interest in what her political stances actually are. That you think this is all based off of her "assuptions" and not off of any data is again telling of who really thinks like a 12 year old here.
Did you want the dress to be completely covered with her political positions in a size 10 Times New Roman font?

It brought a ridiculous amount of attention to the cause. Yeah, a lot of people are talking about AOC as well, but that's unavoidable, especially with the hate-on the Conservatives in this country have for her. But it brought a ridiculous amount of attention to the cause nonetheless, which you cannot possibly deny. And the dress was the biggest contributing factor there, which was its entire purpose.
As for it being a "PR stunt"? If that's the case, then it was wildly successful, thanks primarily to the Conservatives and their media. She wanted to use her opposition to spread her message for her, and they fell for it hook, line, and sinker. These "games" may not be new, but this thread is in and of itself proof that they're important.
Keep the thread going.

Liberal hypocrisy has reached peak new levels as it was reported this week that the designer of AOC's "Tax the Rich" dress that the Congresswoman sported to the Met Gala is, in fact, herself, a tax "deadbeat".
That was the term the NY Post used when describing the 37 year old designer who "made waves" at the Gala with the dress. The designer reportedly has "unpaid debts" in "multiple states", the report says.
Her tax liabilities stem from an LLC she formed in 2011 to serve as parent company of her fashion brand, the report says.
That parent company has racked up three open tax warrants in New York state for failure to withhold income taxes from employees paychecks in the amount of $14,798. The debts were from 2018 and 2019, the report says, and the company has been slapped with 15 total tax warrants since 2015.
The IRS put six federal liens on the company between April 2018 and April 2019 totaling $103,220 as a result of the company's "failure to remit employee payroll taxes".
David Cenedella, a Baruch College taxation lecturer, said: “Just because they take it out of your paycheck doesn’t mean they’re sending it to the government. It’s certainly not something you want. I would not say your average business out there has this. Something went wrong.”
James is also an alleged rent deadbeat, records show.
Her parent company has also faced "multiple legal challenges" for "habitual nonpayment of worker benefits".
It was fined $17,000 in October 2019 for not carrying workers' comp insurance and the company currently owes $62,722 to the Workers Compensation Board.
Additionally, James' company took $41,666 in pandemic aid. She also bought a $1.6 million home in Los Angeles in September 2020. That property is already listed as "delinquent" by the LA County Assessor's Office, which says $2,504 in taxes are owned on it.
Some of James' former contract employees told The Post she was less-than-pleasant to work with:
“I experienced a lot of harassment when I worked for her. Aurora would ask me to do things that were not in anyone’s job description, like scheduling her gynecological appointments. The work environment was so hostile that I was afraid to ask for my check.”
Republican Staten Island Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis concluded:
“It’s the height of hypocrisy when socialists attend a $30,000 per ticket gala with a message of ‘tax the rich’ while wearing an overpriced dress by a luxury designer who doesn’t pay taxes. What happened to everyone paying their fair share?”
