Amber said a culture of light to medium bullying is good for a person's development and, as someone who's seen the worst the internet has to offer, I can't disagree.

It's pretty obvious that Chapo believed they could have gotten gravel 65k donations before the first debate and had no interest in doing so and I think it's one part jealousy that younger people are actually doing something rather than lobbing bombs from the sideline and another part fear they can't ironically distance themselves enough if they had him on

you're really weird and like half of your posts in this thread are about her and make sure to mention indiana and cocaine. for someone who professes not to listen to any political podcasts or not to care about amber you post about her an awful lot.

as i said before, she makes the correct type of dork mad.

Amber has been a socialist long before a decent chunk of the current political climate warmed up to the movement. but a different group of idiots think she's a cryptofascist because to them, words speak louder than actions. there's some overlap between that group and the people who have become socialists since 2016

just because someone comes off as abrasive and puts their foot in their mouth occasionally doesn't make them your political enemy
