they can't imagine somebody born lower middle class who got by because both parents worked full time jobs would ever be opposed to the obvious greatness of america and capitalism, because most politicians are and were born millionaires and have no idea what reality is actually like for 95% of Americans

a lot of the progressive activists in my area have had at least a somewhat comfortable existence. you know why? because most poor people simply do not have the time to participate actively in politics. it's almost as if our capitalist hellscape is built to discourage the poor from being part of democracy...? :thunk:

Incredible that all of the criticisms I've seen of AOC boil down to "if she's a real socialist why isn't she wearing a roughspun sack and eating actual garbage??"

lol yeah, anybody who has had actual interactions with people born into money who themselves have to work for a living and scrimp being extremely amenable to socialism is basically unthinkable to conservatives

in their mind, a working class student seeing a tremendous dipshit get into an ivy league school via a million dollar donation and totaling 3 Porches before they turn 17 should INSPIRE them to BOOTSTRAP to be MORE like that stunning display of bootstrapping hard work

wait till they find out that she mostly goes by her paternal surname Ocasio and only for formal stuff includes the maternal family name Cortez, which is standard Spanish naming custom

I had to renew my driver’s license a few weeks ago and it caused a poo poo storm at the BMV that my current but soon to be expired license didn’t match my birth certificate because loving lol I’m not going to go around spouting my full Puerto Rican name.

they said gently caress that noise so now my new license has my full name because ohio is dumb as poo poo.

seriously, I grew up less-well-off in an affluent town, do drat well for myself, and I still resent the people I went to high school now living in million dollar houses that their parents bought for them when they graduated college.

lol the entire constitution is designed to not only discourage them, but to literally enslave them to a class of people we don't call a landed gentry for no other reason than that's what the British called them.

english people love soundalikes as nicknames

jimmy comes from jam jim jam = jimmy

dick = richard -> rick -> dick

Chuck = Cha from charles + uck as a common diminutive ender

Alex (sand) dria -> Sandy

my favorite one is Margaret to peggy

Margaret -> Marge -> Meg -> Peg -> Peggy
