That is exactly why they joined.

Conspiracy theories are what dumb people think smart people sound like. To them, there is no difference between a well researched and sourced opinion and lizard-alien pizzagate nonsense. Because they were utterly failed by every person in their life responsible for teaching them to read and think.

Twitch plays politics, as it were. It'll be interesting to see, and while it's cool what she's doing I do also worry about the negative applications it might have when wielded by someone with bad intent.

Fake edit: millennial is a pretty huge net, like '81 to '95'ish. So most people in their 30s still count as millennials. Generations are kinda dumb, and I feel like the real breakpoint is if a person was young enough to integrate when social media started to blow up. Even stuff like blogs and web forms create a huge gulf between those without.

I'm not trying to be a dick but worrying is partly how we got into this mess; not that anyone important is reading these backwater forums anymore (or are they?!), but the reason people like AOC do so well is that they don't worry about the negative applications wielded by someone with bad intent. Being unapologetic and confident about yourself and your beliefs is vanishingly rare in politics, and it actually works. CHUDs are gonna CHUD forever (or until they all croak). Their reaction shouldn't even be in consideration.

The best part of these dipshits is that they rake over footage for soundbites to make AOC sound dumb.

Meanwhile, their king of all loving idiots talks about actually raking a forest floor to stop forest fires and can't close an umbrella, and they think he is Einstein.

Amazing :allears:

I almost fear how much is being levied and filed onto AOC's shoulders so I hope some of the other great people who won Rep seats this month pick up the slack and adopt the majority of her charges and views, as well. There needs to be a lot more visibility on the other "Justice Dem" people, especially the other women Ocasio-Cortez is around.

The weird thing happening is that the GOP pundits are falling into the same trap that Clinton did 2 years back: focusing all the energy by saying "look how bad this other person is" instead of policies that will help people. The irony of course is that this time,pointing to "how bad" the other person is involves saying "healthcare, green plans, and ethics? lunacy lol" so it's really going to gently caress them over harder (as if voting out so many of the ACA-appeal weeks back wasn't obvious enough)

Keep stepping on rakes you loving idiots

This is like one weird trick to avoid federal judgements territory.

the big news here is that CNN is pressing to be allowed discovery (not always done in these situations, perhaps because the person who loses initially usually backs down)

it'll be an incredibly funny scenario if the white house is forced to divulge how they coordinated to push the doctored video and various different post hoc rationalizations of why they banned Acosta

kirkman's been a very bad liberal who constantly melts down on twitter, says she's quitting, then comes back and repeats for a while. AOC is just standing in for Bernie this time

also lol @ the susan sarandon pic - somehow sarandon is still The Enemy in these peoples' minds, she's basically personally responsible for hillary losing (and probably working for Vlad too)

Have you seen some of the stuff the other women that got voted in have been saying? Rashida Talib and Illan Omar have been beating the leftist drum as well so AOC is not alone. Also in VA we have some state-level reps like Lee Carter and Danica Roem that are making a lot of noise. Change is a-coming to the Democratic Party whether they like it or not because you bet your rear end Roem and Carter are going to try for higher office(Edit: at least I am praying for this).

Yeah I've seen Talib/Omar on their poo poo too, it's good to know the majority of the new blood is focusing on stuff that matters. I feel like there needs to be a big contingent to push back against focusing on loving Russia poo poo and heaving onward with the core issues. My big fear right now is that it will live and die with just a handful of people while Chuck Schumer marches the party off a cliff.

Trump knew about Osama Bin Laden before 9/11, the Saudis are always innocent according to the Trump admin, Trump had a lot of money sent places he didn’t want to disclose and he hid his tax documents and company filings from the public, OSB destroyed the twin towers which made Trump’s buildings amongst the tallest in NYC to his delight... checks out. :tinfoil:
