Social The daily "AOC says something stupid on Twitter" thread.

[nac386]

God damn that’s some serious mental gymnastics. So people are aptly comparing AOC to a grinning horse because they’re secretly insecure that they might not have gotten a date with her in HS? Do you not see how retarded that is. Never mind, you don’t.

Better theory - the NYT is pushing this narrative because is provides a means of arguing by insulting their political opponents sexual prowess. That’s an argument that wins with middle schoolers - and apparently progressives as well. Not adults

It’s immature to insult her detractors’ sexual prowess, but you find it “apt” to compare her to a grinning horse?

When her looks are disingenuously put forth as the reason people oppose her thoughts, then correcting the record on her looks is perfectly reasonable.

“They started it!”

But they didn’t, of course. Her looks were being attacked from the exact moment she won.

A grown man posting horse memes is embarrassingly immature.

That she seems a bit air-headed at times and makes derpy faces only makes it easy to make fun of her.

I think it’d be more appropriate to comment on her air-headedness than her face. I think it comes across as weird and pathetic, to be honest. It’s odd to see the massive negative reaction to her reasonable attractiveness is to try to tear her down on something as shallow as her teeth.

 

[ferrisjso]

Dude, shes a bartender that won a house seat in an ultra left district. By political standards she attractive - in the club she's a 6 at best.

I think conservative men dislike her because we'd never be allowed to get away saying the stupid things that she does and still win an election (despite Trump)

You mean things that are actually correct that liberals have been begging their politicans to say for years?

Have it your way. Noted then that you’ve gone on record in agreement with the NYT’s reasoning in that tweet.

In consistently immature fashion, you’re now just making things up.

Are you a college kid? Sometimes I feel like I should adjust my expectations based on the age of the person I’m speaking to on here.

 

[Happy Man]

It's obvious. I'm laughing the same way when people say it's liberal.

It is liberal. Except it also sucks corporate cock and supports all wars for isreal.

And its easy to see why..........

You can't suck corporate cock and support all wars for Israel and be liberal. Those things are mutually exclusive.

 

[AlexDB9]

It's as good an explanation as any for the wildly comical and unchecked rage she brings out of the right.

This is the type of person this article is made for

Unchecked rage.....

Sorry dude, you went to bat for the wrong side of this argument and have revealed more about your inner thinking that if you “liked” the wrong posts. Should have sat this one out.

Yeah, things like the 3 branches of govt being "the presidency, house and senate" or "the world is going to end in 12 years."

The world is doomed to end in 12 years if the situation isn't solved. That's not a radical statement.

She made a semantics mistake. Women understands economics and cites MMT. Show some respect.

It's clear what she meant. In 12 years the world will be doomed to to end. That is the consensus.

Do conservative go after climate deniers who actually said something wrong? No, no they don't.

Alright so do you actually believe the world will end in 12 years....that’s my only question for you

Pro tip: If you really want to know the date the world will end watch out for when banks stop giving out 10, 15, 30....40 year mortgages

Oh, that is what she meant? I only know what she said. I suppose if you put it that way, then all of those end-time preachers were correct as well.

She's the liberal version of Sara Palin. You don't have to like that fact, but its a fact none the less.

It is not a fact. AOC is smarter than most congresspeople and seeing a bunch of dumbasses trash a breath of freshair is disguisting. It should have been obvious what she meant. Again show some fucking respect.

I agree with both of you guys.

On one side, it's childish to ridicule a person on their looks, age, and other aesthetics.

at the same time, I definitely see where @Gunny is coming from.

It's freaking annoying when people mischaracterize your criticism of someone, or dismiss it as "oh...you conservatards are just intimidated by a beautiful woman...blah blah blah..."

 

[Teppodama]

Say more? I think her policy recommendations have shown how just how heavy handededly she wants government to intervene in the economy, whether it is banning airplanes or regulating the digestive systems of cows. She's a radical and deserves to be treated as such. That she seems a bit air-headed at times and makes derpy faces only makes it easy to make fun of her.

You have to admit though that by an large we view her and her ilk through the lens of our general societal attitude towards socialism, marxism and communism that has grown out of the cold war and our grandparents and parents generations. To be honest, I think the main reason it's seen a resurgence is due to academic efforts. It's a fairly captive audience to use as a petri dish for whatever pet ideologies professors and teachers wish to push.

Yeah, I'm not sure I agree. I think any harshness against socialism in current politics is as likely to be fallout from the Venezuela disaster as it is from the Cold War. I agree about the resurgence being due to academic efforts though.
