It's because she was born into the lowest tier of their capitalist system and knows it's flaws from the ground up that they can't adequately counter them like Hilary or even Sanders.

My hope is that there's more AOCs waiting in the wings, just in case they manage to take her down. An AOC or two every election cycle would be terrifying for the GOP.

Charlie Kirk probably wants a date and all, but I’m still struggling to understand why the rest of these morons keep going after AOC for the dancing and her nickname of “Sandy” when it’s been proven again and again that nobody cares.

Though I would love to see AOC challenge the GOP to bring their best and brightest to the table to offer a remedy for climate change and the growing economic inequality gap in the US, and demand answers besides “lol doesn’t matter cuz Jesus” and “poors work harder”, respectively.

Thank you for your restraint about criticizing my previous wrong opinions.

A serious news network shouldn't present a silly NYE show where one of their main anchors gets drunk with a reality talk show host. But CNN isn't a serious news network, so whatever. Anderson Cooper isn't a real journalist so, again, whatever.

Just remember, Cooper is a filthy rich trust fund kid who just wanted to be on tv who used to be a reality tv show host. So when he's looking sternly into the camera reading the prompter bashing the president remember you're watching a trust fund kid and former reality tv game show host posing as a journalist talking about a trust fund kid and former reality tv game show host posing as a president. And then try to not walk into the ocean.

I have a sinking feeling that Charlie Kirk is going to be at least very close to becoming president one day.

They're going to repeat his name over and over, the centrist media is going to keep acting like his crusade against campus snowflakes is some big important thing, and we'll just be sitting here saying "loving diaper boy? Really?"

I mean, that's the problem ultimately that the Right has; they can meme and that's it. It's like the original Nazis wearing Hugo Boss - they can manage the appearance but the substance is all hate and malevolence, with nothing beyond "gently caress you got mine" as a platform.

And they can't really do that anymore now either. They had a slight advantage for a while only because liberals literally stopped trying to appeal to young people, and now with grassroots leftism back in the spotlight they can't compete because all they have is flash in the pan grifters and unfuckable astroturfed failsons.

The GOP's game plan has essentially been make and keep people as dumb as possible to make them easy to dupe. This strategy has worked up to a point, but I think anyone "up and coming" on the right just comes off as a completely disingenuous idiot at best, and outright racist ghouls at worst. That poo poo may work on the olds, but a ton of young people are galvanizing to the left and HARD.

As someone just pointed out, the olds in the GOP are terrified because they're realizing the left is producing AOCs and the right is producing Charlie Kirks. The whole grift is blowing up in their faces because the party has nowhere to go but even more cravenly evil and stupid.

Something is rotten as gently caress in Phoenix.

The chief is a WOC from Maryvale, a working class, mostly Hispanic area. She is a loving traitor to her community and has internalized racism something fierce.

Maryvale is where my family is from, and I know that Phoenix PD is ripe with chuds, just the worst. They're going to lose what little trust they earned in the working class districts.

Man, it took me a bit to realize "Sandy" is actually a valid nickname*, because for the longest time I couldn't figure why she would let herself get called that.

*"Sandy" emphasizes Alexandria and not Alexandria like it commonly abbreviates.

Based solely on that immigration Christmas tweet. She'd own them even if they went " lol Jesus." That was some sound theology that will gently caress up a conservatives day.
