He was a finance guy who made enough money he doesn't have to work. Unfortunately he still has a Wallstreet ego which he massages by publishing doofy books and getting into slap-fights on twitter.

Can't remember if this has been posted yet, but AOC is really good at playing the media. She is doing exactly what she needs to in order to get her message out passed the media filters.

I'm impressed and I had high expectations for her already. Normally the media just doesn't cover it when progressive Democrats say these things but by making her the face of "socialism" they have made her the story so people follow and read her tweets directly.

Lmao the comments in that twitter thread are dumb as poo poo, "YOU AREN'T EXPERIENCED ENOUGH TO PICK THIS FIGHT!!!! #RESIST!!!".

He's a financial guy who thinks because he was a good options trader it makes him some brilliant intellectual. He takes an obvious observation and converts it into a 400-page pop-sci book. Amateur traders and self-help sycophants eat it up and treat him like some mage (the kind of people that worship Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris). He's basically a poor man's version of Malcolm Gladwell.

To top it off he's an insufferable narcissist who throws tantrums on Twitter because his books have been getting considerably worse and no one pays attention to him anymore.

Yeah you kinda have to take a principled stance on something like the environment or labor and income equality and then say people have a right to x y or z, and then not require that those people be able to really do much or be very helpful in getting there, for you to continue to value the principles themselves and attempt their application.

I live in some of that yellow area in CT and it was actually shocking how unprepared the cities around here seemed to be. Usually I'm bitching because half an inch of snow means the cities are dumping so much salt on the roads that cars rust just by looking at it, but there was absolutely nothing this time around. I was out driving at 5-6 this evening and road conditions were drastically worse than storms I've driven in with much, much more snow. Tons of accidents and vehicles stuck on hills that are usually fine.

If nothing else, now all the idiots who squealed that of course the US would never charge Assange for things, because what he did isn't technically illegal, and anyway he's not a US citizen and hasn't even visited the US in the first place, and so on, and so he's just being a big dumb babby hiding out in that embassy, can kindly shut the gently caress up forever.

I have a hunch that AOC gets the attention she does because of how young she is. It's hard for me to believe that the youngest woman to be elected to Congress is two years my junior. If she were in her mid-fifties, she'd have nowhere near the media attention.

this is mostly because older politicians tend to fall in line because they heavily lean conservative

AOC isn't a corrupt piece of poo poo though, so it's a lot more toothless

like the worst fox has been able to dredge up was "she wants healthcare for everyone!!!"

the reason why Hillary was so easily smeared is because she's an absolute corporate bootlicker who has a ton of skeletons, she just runs in the same circles as the republican elite so they could only use a few things against her without implicating themselves as well

true, but that's more because a lot of the propaganda is actually true outside of the super outlandish stuff like her being a literal witch

hillary got her political start doing courageous things like crossing picket lines and telling black people to sit down after mlk was murdered, she was awful even then
