This is about AOC losing her bid for the Oversight committee to a geriatric Dem lifer. Sure she has systematically shredded any last bit of credibility with her triangulation, but hey, at least all the 5D polítical chess is paying off! She’s changing the system from the inside! It’s working this time!
Girl, you abandoned any pretense of doing working-class mass politics when you decided to do insider politics! Why are you tweeting like Bernie Sanders circa 2012? There’s no we! There’s no mass movement behind you! It’s just NYC DSA and some Warren libs (but I repeat myself)
mfw I see an AOC thread with 300+ comments:
Uhh a single lib wandered in and the mods didn’t immediately ban them?
It’s really for their own protection

*advancing her career
not many people know this, but AOC stands for Advances Own Career
i remember her being on a livestream a few weeks before the election saying she didn’t want trump to win because four more years of the activist schtick would be annoying and tiresome for her. straight up annoyed that she would have to pretend to care again. that was her only concern. I hope she rots.

Sorry, it got a little intense here, but it’s ’cause we’re eight days out from an election and I’m losing my mind. And I’ve got a little smoke coming out the top of my head. But [laughs] get it together! Get it together! Cast your vote so we can be done with this! I do not want to do four more years of resistance nonsense under Donald Trump, okay? Like, good God. Like, do we remember what it was like waking up every day and there was some shit going on?
do we remember what it was like waking up every day and there was some shit going on?
There’s shit going on now. And by shit i mean genocide she denies
really digusting for her to say that after a year of (expanded) genocide she ran cover for
“wOrKiNg TiReLeSsLy fOr A cEaSeFiRe”
Yeeeeeah no, people actually expect me to work when there’s a Republican president, I’d rather be grillpilled and brunch maxing.
Um, ah SHIT, I MEAN WE WILL BE AT BRUNCH. We’re in this career together right everyone?
here’s the archived livestream where AOC goes to the mat to defend Biden if anyone wants to laugh at how badly it aged
Congresswoman AOC Spills The Tea And Unloads on Democratic Cowards On Instagram Live
[was looking for the one you were talking about and found this first]
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Wow you’re an ass. Someone exhausted by having to constantly push for positive outcomes against a hateful, murdering group of people (yes both parties) and your response is to shit on the lady.
Just going to note again that you
- Have been unable to name any of AOC’s accomplishments.
- Have demonstrated that you do not know AOC’s history.
- Have demonstrated that you have not studied history, and that you have not studied economics.
- Have demonstrated that you do not even try to look up if the things that you want to say are true.
- Have been unable to name any of the supposed issues of socialist states that are not shared by AOC.
Wait are they still going? It’s been five hours. We’re just feeding their humiliation fetish at this point.
They are still going. And they are still being extremely silly.
This time, they decided to go to the Literacy in China NATOpedia page.
What if they put half as much effort into educating themselves as they did into arguing with strangers online?
This would be a great tagline
Open season on this lib, nerds. Go hog wild until like 6pm EST.Lib hunting season is now closed. I’m taking him out behind the barn but I’ll leave all his loving messages up and untarnished for us to memorialize him.
RIO jatone.
P.s jatone,
if you feel like getting in the mud again over whatever post you see here on hexbear, feel free to DM me for a day pass to deliver the slop to all my little piggies. You played with them very well and very politely enough. hall pass revoked have a nice nightBut for now, adieu.
me when the sloptrough has a liberal in it
Aww
AOC was not pushing for positive outcomes, she only cares about being on the winning side. Remember how much she seemed to care about deportation and concentration camps at the border and kids in cages while Trump was president? Those policies all continued under Biden, deportations increased and AOC didn’t say a word. She didn’t care in the slightest.
deleted by creator
She absolutely said a word. you just didn’t hear it. which is a different issue and more about you than her.
- Didn’t stop her from endorsing him until he finally resigned, lol. Quick question how many dead children are a deal breaker for you?
Beep boop you have been banned from interacting with the lib, if you wish to post more at them, log in to bureaucrat
?
It’s a joke. I just think it would be funny if everyone logged in to bureaucrat and overwhelmed the lib with one common user
uh huh and? you realize her endorsement came before gaza right? I understand you struggle with sequencing timelines being a communist an all but man. and again for her there was no reason to remove that endorsement. there was no other candidate. why lose the bargaining position? it was the voters job to get rid of biden and we did that. sadly the replacement was black biden, who obviously also didn’t receive our support. 🤷 .
Quick question how many dead children are a deal breaker for you?
child, go through my post history. I firmly argued against harris and biden for precisely the reasons you’re alluding to. But I’m not sitting in congress, I don’t have to work with those idiots. AOC made the correct political calculus that supporting biden/harris would give her more pull if they won and no loss of pull if they lost. it was win/win for her.
If biden/harris lost, that reflects on their policies, not AOCs. if biden/harris won, she maintained a non-adversarial relations and could claim her support helped bring voters resulting in potentially more pull.
It was our job to fuck over harris/biden and we did. sadly that means dealing with trump again. oh well.
her endorsement came before gaza right
lol. “history started on Oct 7” clowning on full display
We all know once you endorse someone you can never ever withdraw it no matter how many kids they murder. I notice you didn’t answer the question about how many dead children would be a dealbreaker for you
uh huh
What are you, goofy? Hyuck hyuck hyuck
It took you way too long to think of this response. Do you type using only your digit finger, looking for each letter every time?
Fuckin comedy gold right here
Wow you’re an ass.
[fart noise]
10/10 this is the perfect response
Awww haha
How dare you attack AOC! won’t someone think of the civility??
Great, GREAT shit. I love you kinda
Do i? or do I just recognize: republicans |gen DNC | | AOC | ME.
and that I’d rather be shitting on AOC as the worst rep than the best rep.
go ahead name some better reps in congress than AOC. bet you can’t make it to 10.
I can’t make it to 10, but you’re not making the point you think you are.
Actually I am. I think you twats are more moronic than AOC (shes actually accomplishing something more than bitching online) is but thats okay. no body is perfect.
twats
bitching
what a shock, the liberal is a misogynist
what a shock, the liberal is a misogynist
Many such cases. If you scratch them deep enough, you’ll start finding Hugo Boss textile.
shes actually accomplishing something more than bitching online
Like what? What has she accomplished?
Oops, you’ll never get a response now! You know specifics are hard for libs!
do I need to spoon feed you to? I assume you’re capable of typing into a computer.
You know the funny thing is you twits seem to struggle with reading comprehension. for example: accomplishments does not mean ‘has done things I agree with’.
So go ahead list yours then we’ll compare to AOC, then we can do trump vs you next!
Yeah she’s accomplishing genocide, border camps with kids in cages, increased fracking, more money for police and so much more. Personally I’d rather she did nothing instead. Action for the sake of action is the ideology of a fascist, but it’s pretty clear where you’re at so that’s not surprising.
None of those are her positions. those are the DNC. you’re very confused.
How can she accomplish anything when she has zero pull in congress? Which is it? Make up your fucking mind.
Civility!! Where are you? HELP ME!
So your argument is “the entire system is shit, therefore you cannot think a member of the system is shit”? I just want to be sure.
The entire mafia is bad, therefore you cannot prosecute any of its members for their individual crimes
Saudi Arabia is worse on queer rights than Iran, so you cannot critique the Ayatollah
Please don’t ever leave us, you’re great.
go ahead name some better reps in congress than AOC. bet you can’t make it to 10.
That’s easy, provided you include dead representatives
What about Saddam? He’s worse than most representatives in congress, so that means you can’t critique them. The KKK are worse than the GOP so why don’t you critique them instead? My HOA president is an asshole, so you can’t critique Lindsay Graham because he’s nice about it. What about what about what about what about
Show me where she has pushed against the Dems
During the 2024 election campaign, Ocasio-Cortez took on the role of chief defender of Biden amidst the escalating genocide in Gaza, declaring Biden a “man of tremendous empathy” as Israel slaughtered Palestinian civilians with weapons supplied by the Biden-Harris administration. She insisted that “we have to be adults about the situation,” in denouncing those opposed to supporting Biden in the elections
Literally a meme
congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tried to defend her vote to ban a strike on the railroads by absurdly claiming that “rank-and-file” railroaders had asked her to do so.
If you paid more attention you’d realise she’s a grifter, unfortunately
I’m aware of all this. but I have about 400 members of congress more worthy of shitting on than AOC.
you see I have a line of people:
SHITTY REP 0, SHITTY REP 1, … , AOC, PASSABLE REP 0, …,
I spend my efforts telling people about shitty REP 0 and use AOC as a model they could be more like.
Once we get here:
AOC, PASSABLE REP 0, …, PASSABLE REP N.
Then I’ll shit on AOC until then shes a reference point. You’re mistaking moving the norm left with AOC as support for AOC. common mistake dont worry you’ll get there eventually.
Everyone is making fun of you (which I was tempted to as well) but I’ll try to be genuine.
We shit on AOC because she is a perfect representation how trying to make change through official institutions like Congress is a dead end. AOC promised some radical ideas in her initial campaign and made it seem like she would be a genuine change from the Democratic party that only served the rich. But when Democrats got into power, she quickly folded into line and voted how the leadership wanted and defended the worst of the party (aka Biden). Of course she could have stuck to her guns (assuming she really believed in Democratic socialism), but that would have gotten her kicked from the party or not reelected.
So this is the eternal problem of trying to “push the Democrats left”, if you play their game you are beholden to their rules. Either conform to the mass murdering US empire or get kicked out of power. We criticize AOC heavily because she has largely chosen to stay in power by conforming to the evil US empire. And it’s even funnier when stuff like this happens and she isn’t offered powerful committee positions even though she compromised her supposed ideals.
Everyone is making fun of you (which I was tempted to as well) but I’ll try to be genuine.
Na, I’m just enjoying trolling you twits as much as you are me. =)

Yes.
AOC promised some radical ideas in her initial campaign and made it seem like she would be a genuine change from the Democratic party that only served the rich.
No, she didn’t promise us shit. she said ‘these are the things I will push for’ and if you compare what shes put forward into congress and what she said they’re actually similar.
But when Democrats got into power, she quickly folded into line and voted how the leadership wanted and defended the worst of the party (aka Biden).
You’re making the classic mistake of blaming her for bills put forward by others. Personally when something is put forward that is better than the current situation I take it. you still moved the needle, maybe not as much as you’d like but you do it.
Of course she could have stuck to her guns (assuming she really believed in Democratic socialism), but that would have gotten her kicked from the party or not reelected.
See above. again mistaking a vote for personal beliefs.
So this is the eternal problem of trying to “push the Democrats left”, if you play their game you are beholden to their rules.
No, this is literally not what I’m telling you. I’m saying you’re going after one of 3 people who are even remotely similar to your positions (aka: anticapitalist, pro workers). Its not the same as saying shes ‘pushing dems to the left’ fuck that. they’re a lost cause as a party. What she does know how to do is manipulate a system, and shes good at it. thats why you idiots hate her so much, shes solo more effective than your entire community. Do you like what shes doing? nope. but shes doing it were you are powerless, she has a seat.
And it’s even funnier when stuff like this happens and she isn’t offered powerful committee positions even though she compromised her supposed ideals.
mmm, and yet you dont realize what she just demonstrated with that maneuver. sad really. AOC has probably done more to discredit the democrats than anyone in this thread just by fucking existing in the house. Shes literally doing exactly what you want to accomplish and you can’t even see it.
Okay moron, give me one example of her being effective at doing anything but voting to fund genocide. You keep saying she’s effective but she hasn’t effected any change. All she’s done is give pieces of shit like you an excuse to vote for genocide.
No, you idiots keep saying that. I’m saying shes the least harmful rep we have. very different statements. Its not my fault you lack basic read comprehension and confuse terms like ‘accomplishments’ and ‘effectiveness’. First, effectiveness requires a benchmark and we won’t agree on the benchmark metric so there is no point. secondly I’m not the one making claims about her that need refuting. they’re all basic facts about her that are common knowledge. You however are, like ‘she supports the genocide’ she clearly doesn’t. she literally voted against funding israel as a standalone bill. the omnibill version is not a vote for supporting genocide.
I can’t help the fact you’re misinformed. thats a you problem.
Na, I’m just enjoying trolling you twits as much as you are me. =)

People responding to your arguments is in fact not trolling. The fact you take critique as a meanspirited thing is a you-issue.
she said ‘these are the things I will push for’ and if you compare what shes put forward into congress and what she said they’re actually similar.
So if you look at the responses you’ve already gotten, you know that’s a lie.
You’re making the classic mistake of blaming her for bills put forward by others.
“Please don’t blame her for things she votes on” and other silly things liberals say to defend genocidal warmongering union breakers.
Personally when something is put forward that is better than the current situation I take it. you still moved the needle, maybe not as much as you’d like but you do it.
And the day that something comes along that moves things forward, I’ll be happy to move that needle. Until then I’ll continue to not support genocide.
See above. again mistaking a vote for personal beliefs.
<- You except you’re not cute.
No, this is literally not what I’m telling you.
You’ve literally just talked about moving the needle. Which is it?
'm saying you’re going after one of 3 people who are even remotely similar to your positions (aka: anticapitalist, pro workers)
You’ve been shown a bunch of times that those are not her positions. Do better.
Its not the same as saying shes ‘pushing dems to the left’ fuck that. they’re a lost cause as a party.
You seem to be stuck on “the dems”. We are critiquing AOC and how she functions within the system.
yet you dont realize what she just demonstrated with that maneuver. sad really.
+ + sephiroth posting lmao. “You cannot comprehend the depths of her mind maze” lol you just cannot comprehend the fact that you’re cool with throwing brown children in cages and murdering palestinians and other people aren’t. I’d say it’s okay, but it’s not.
Shes literally doing exactly what you want to accomplish and you can’t even see it.
Like how she helped crush strikes or like how she helped a genocide or like how she stopped giving a shit about border camps or etc?
You people always talk in vague terms because anything specific immediately makes it obvious what your actual politics are.
AOC doesn’t move right wingers left, she moves lefties right. She’s a dyed in the wool neolib and defends the interests of the bourgeoisie the same way that Tom Cotton does.
she doesn’t move voters anywhere. you’re giving her too much credit. she represents a region of the political sphere. one you’d likely be happier in than the one your in now.
sadly you’re too busy attacking her than going after biden/harris/trumps/schumers/ceos.
Calling him “Genocide Joe” literally originated here
sadly you’re too busy attacking her than going after biden/harris/trumps/schumers/ceos.
Why would we attack those people in a thread about AOC? Do you think people are only mentally capable of holding one person in ill will? Is that the case for your mental capacity?
Imagine going to a pizza place and being mad they don’t have sushi
It really doesn’t take that much browsing to find out that we attack all of those people constantly. It’s like our second favourite thing after dunking on libs.
We were one of the first places online to be crossing our fingers that Trump had a heart attack lol. They’re not the topic of this thread.
If all members of the Reichstag are bad, who cares if some are less bad than the others
but I have about 400 members of congress more worthy of shitting on than AOC.
How many of those reps claim to be some form of socialist?
thats my point? shes closer to you twits than the rest. she never claimed to be communist. socialism is a broad category encompassing many groups. you’re literally fighting a person who is trying to get us closer to some version of socialism and you’re complaining about the games she playing. thats the problem with communists. they think their system is some perfect government vs recognizing its just as shitty as the ones they rail against.
socialism is a broad category
What’s it defined by?
Oh god oh fuck this worked in my essay you’re not supposed to be able to respond
You cannot be this dense
We have the technology! We can make them denser!
just obliviously showing your whole ass
I spend my efforts telling people about shitty REP 0 and use AOC as a model they could be more like
People should not, in fact, be like AOC.
People should, in fact, be more similar to AOC. see the difference there? its subtle i know. But you clearly prefer them to be similiar to trump/biden. 🤷
I prefer them to be more similar to Lenin actually
Those aren’t the only options. There are more than 3 people
People should, in fact, be more similar to AOC
No, they shouldn’t be supporting genocides, invasions, incarceration and enslavement of black people, and so on, and so forth. So, no, they should not be more similar to AOC.
Yeah we see the difference dumbass, we think supporting genocide and being a comprador for the american empire is bad actually
You shouldn’t need to use a math equation to explain your morals
I’m sorry you can’t grasp basic ordering by preference. i know, its very advanced for a corgi. you’ll get there eventually I’m sure. Though this inability is likely related to your worldview being perpetually shit on. In fact I shit on it because mathematically the concepts behind communism are inherently unstable and lead to authoritarians. but you probably know this.
the concepts behind communism are inherently unstable and lead to authoritarians
Unlike capitalism, which never exerts authoritarian control over anyone
No you see they said both systems are bad! So that means that despite them only critiquing communism, they definitely feel the same about capitalism, which is why they defend it so hard
I have a math PhD and actually communism is stable.
In fact I shit on it because mathematically the concepts behind communism are inherently unstable and lead to authoritarians. but you probably know this.
This is excellent tagline material. Communism mathematically defeated.
Anyway please provide a mathematical proof that Communism bad and capitalism (or whatever it is you like) is good.
This is excellent tagline material. Communism mathematically defeated
No, both are fucking horrible systems. Yes, mathematically, but for very different reasons. If you want to learn, look into distributed systems vs centralized systems. there is a reason comrade communists always fail into authoritarian dictatorships. now maybe you like that style of governance. thats a you thing. not an everyone thing.
If you want to learn why capitalism is mathematically bad well that’s even simpler. simple feedback systems analysis will do it. its why they continuously fail into oligarchies.
Lib reinvents an even dumber version of Popperian or Randian anti-communist mathematical realism lmao
I await your proof
I have a degree in math, and I have also studied economics as part of my education. Your understanding of these topics is incredibly lacking.
Also, lol at ‘authoritarianism!!!’ coming from a person from a genocidal slaver settler-colony that is currently overtly carrying out a genocide, and which is the most prolific invader in the world.
Truly, that’s an antithesis of ‘authoritarianism’. /slmao check out this motherfucker…scolds us for not supporting zionism, then turns around and calls us authoritarians like it’s a bad thing. No leftist worth their salt supports the indiscriminate bombing of children or shooting up refugee camps. That means not supporting politicians like AOC who support supplying the weapons to commit war crimes.
It’s kind of silly to call our math wrong when we’re the ideology who focuses on using empiricism and the scientific method as much as possible when it comes to history, politics, and economics. The Democratic party is barely Keynesian anymore and has been moving towards Austrian economics since Clinton at the least.
Genocidal slavemaster-assed comment, don’t you have a plantation to be torturing folk on rather than running your mouth about things you clearly have a narrow settler’s scope on
Wrong + math = still wrong
In fact I shit on it because mathematically the concepts behind communism are inherently unstable and lead to authoritarians.
AHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh my god ahhh that’s fantastic, great bit sir. Sorry I was preemptive with taking you seriously, you’re really nailing the “idiot redditor” tone here, it was really obvious. My bad for not getting the bit earlier
mathematically the concepts behind communism are inherently unstable and lead to authoritarians.
Dancing effortlessly between the mathematic and philosophical, failing spectacularly to connect either. Might as well say “Mathematically, blood transfusion is inherently sinful and leads to corruption of the soul”

Four hours later and they’re still posting in this thread. More than a full user page of posts lmao
I was wondering why this thread had so many comments
and still pointedly failing to respond to comments with the most devastating evidence against AOC
And so far they’ve mentioned 0 actual things AOC has done
That’s a rare variant PPB!
Your mistake is thinking she’s outside that group and not inside it
I shit on people in hateful, murdering parties, that is correct
yeah thats why no likes you. even when a individual mostly aligns with your views you shit on them. oops. you have plenty of far shittier targets in the DNC to go after than AOC. spend your efforts on them. once AOC becomes the worst of the bunch then maybe people will take you seriously.
HOLY FUCK WHERE IS YOUR SELF-AWARENESS. “No one likes you because you shit on hateful murderers” DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF YOU SETTLER WINDBAG
My god your posts get worse and worse the further down this thread I go
enjoy =)
mostly aligns with your view
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen yet today
This is why no one likes you
I’m getting the impression that you’re quite young, probably school-age, if you think this is some kind of banger
once AOC becomes the worst of the bunch then maybe people will take you seriously.
Sorry sweaty, you’re not allowed to oppose Hitler because Oskar Dirlewanger is currently the worst of the bunch
Also you can stop typing “people” when you just mean yourself, that kind of transparent “I speak for normal people” wishcasting doesn’t work when nobody agrees with you and you’re breathlessly defending a genocidiare.
When an individual mostly aligns with your views, you shit on them.
The views of social democrats and the views of communists are not at all comparable. The point of social democrats is to provide an off ramp to leftist radicalization and create the appearance of change. Read State and Revolution to understand this effect more. There’s a reason why we say social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism.
And you’re arguing with a strawman idea of me. First, all views are comparable. thats literally how you’re making a distinction between social democrats and communists.
And I never said you had to like AOC, I’m saying shes literally one of the best you have in a very small group. if you want to move the window towards your world view you need to support people like her in order to acclimate the population your views. AKA: normalize shooting of CEOs.
Now once you do that and elect more and more in her region of the idea sphere, which we both know is closer to your wants than basically every other rep. Then undermining her is a great idea. Instead you shit on her and her positions which are demonstrably better than basically every other politician in play atm.
Sadly your too much of a ideologue to recognize the facets of human nature you need to leverage to actually get the outcome you desire.
I mean this earnestly when I say that part of the problem you’re having here, and will continue to have, is that you (like most liberals) have adopted a sort of gnosticism around politics and your theory of change that deals in intent, vague notions of ‘overton windows’, ‘marketplaces of ideas’, and even “her region of the idea sphere”. It’s abstraction that (conveniently for the systems that push it) can’t be properly identified, quantified, and tested.
Meanwhile, you’re trying to talk in these terms to a group of people who primarily come out of a discipline of materialist analysis. And because you so steadfastly refuse to point to concrete examples (facts, history, statistics, case studies, demonstrable social dynamics etc) even when repeatedly asked for them, it comes across as either deliberately evasive and bad faith, or like a mystic waving their arms in the air spouting rhetorical woo-woo claiming the opposite of demonstrable reality.
Does that make any sense to you? And if not, why not?
another scalpel of a comment that will be ignored by this high school debate wizard
Does that make any sense to you? And if not, why not?
Sure, I can even respect the empirical aspects of the conversation. But what you’re all missing is the non-material aspects and thinking I’m a liberal is coloring your responses. Let me try to spell it out to you in a different way:
I’m saying you’re all assholes to a person who literally is very similar to you ideologically (worker owned means of production, strong safety net) and just trying to make her way in the world and is very likely a genuinely decent human being. One of the few we have. no one is perfect but dear god is she better than most, including many in this community. She’s also fairly talented in the political world regardless of how you feel about her positions. its why she gets so much flak, and personally like bernie I’d like to keep her around as long as possible even though I disagree with her on things.
As for facts… there are likely no ‘facts’ we’ll agree on as clearly demonstrated on the rampant disregard for what AOC has actually done vs what you’re all claiming shes done. Yes, I’ve repeatedly pointed out the false narrative you’re all spinning about her. We just fundamentally don’t agree here on the same information.
Lets take the rail strike for example, I’ll gladly lampoon biden for that because he had agency in that vote, he had a duty to represent the country, and part of that is ensuring workers have agency and an environment in which to strike. AOC per her own reports (which I’m happy to admit are biased) was acting on literally behalf of the workers in her constituency. she literally did her job she was elected to do. represent her constituents. do I agree with her vote? no. but if they did ask her to vote yes, I cant fault her for doing so. Its not like they asked her to vote no on passing a national paid sick leave policy. Would I gladly work with her to solve my countries problems? abso fucking lutely. do I fault her for working to build common ground with liberals? kinda, but I get it, shes outnumbered and marginalized and in those situations you compromise and get as much as you can.
But for those of you here what she did is an absolute betrayal. we. just. don’t. agree.
You want hard ‘numbers’ for metrics? I’ve literally cited sources for a couple of these and compared to china to highlight the absurdity. at the scale these countries operate you’re talking about marginal differences based on priorities of the ruling classes. While I’ve done a few examples here I havent bothered writing you all a dissertation because frankly your opinions of my opinions (and vis versa) don’t matter and the data is readily available and we’ve probably all looked at it. Why waste the time over nonsense numbers that are almost certainly doctored in various ways. Your responses? ‘you changed the definition of the term! CIA doctored the information!’ etc. See? waste of time to argue the numbers. they’re essentially meaningless when you’re going to waste time of the definition of the term ‘literacy’ I was literally using the most generous term and accepting china’s numbers essentially at face value. I did pick the value from the WHO as at least thats marginally independent source.
The primary difference is i’m happy to lampoon both capitalists and communists systems; both systems have historical and modern examples absolutely atrocious outcomes for people due to their tendency to collapse into centralized power structures leading to monocultures which always collapse. These are facts of nature and systems. While you can argue with me all you want about it, history has proven this result over and over and over across every centralized governance model, and all centralized systems suffer the same fate in basically every domain, technological, physical, biological, political.
The simple fact is I don’t have to prove these things to you, it will literally just happen. I suspect neither country will last the remainder of the century given current trajectories. Nor do I particular care if this group collectively pulls their heads out of their asses and recognizes a generally decent person when they see one. I’m simply enjoying my afternoon watching your entire community have a field day thinking ‘ah ha! another one! got em!’ plus you know, its nice to see that no new information has been missed due to my own information silos.
You are quite literally the strawman personified. Do you have any idea how many times each one of us has seen and had to interact with your arguments? theres a lot more liberals like you than there are communists of us. We were born from your arguments, for many of us, these were our exact talking points. Many of us were once you, we just changed when we realized it was all evil.
If I wasn’t so lazy, I’d create a database of every lib talking point with a rebuttal to each one and a counter for every time it gets brought up. IIRC there was someone doing something similar for libertarians a few years ago. I think the guy working on it died or something though, never found out.
Oh I’m aware. I shit on the liberals all the time too. go through my post history. I’m probably more fuck the DNC are than you twits. the difference is I also recognize communism as the shit system that it is. What is it the atheists say… oh right… I just believe in one less shitty god than you do. take it to heart when you think about your preferred system.
Yes it’s actually the people who know things who are blinded by ideology, not the subservient genocide apologists like you who are blind to their ideology
human nature
What’s human nature?
And I never said you had to like AOC, I’m saying shes literally one of the best you have in a very small group
Cool. She’s one of the ‘best’ in a nazi government. Now what? In what way does that make her our ally when all she does is fight against us?
if you want to move the window towards your world view you need to support people like her
And you have what evidence to back up this claim, exactly?
in order to acclimate the population your views. AKA: normalize shooting of CEOs.
Notably, the shooting of one CEO did much more to normalise that than everything that AOC has done.
Sadly your too much of a ideologue to recognize the facets of human nature you need to leverage to actually get the outcome you desire.
You are making a lot of evidence-less claims.
Comparable doesn’t mean similar you dolt
“hEr ReGiOn oF tHe iDeA sPhErE”
lmao. the ideology expert has logged on
even when a individual mostly aligns with your views
Imagine thinking that people who actively support the genocide of Palestinians ‘mostly align with [our] views’.
imagine thinking AOC supports genocide. woosh.
She does. She has - as a politician - supported action to declareanti-genocide speech as ‘antisemitism’.
didn’t have to imagine it since she demonstrably has, so I had extra imagination left over for this:
this… Is amazing
I still don’t get what she’s supposed to be doing in that second picture
She literally went to bat for Joe Biden. Imagine thinking a person has to say the words “I support genocide” to support an ongoing genocide.
Yes. and? it was literally win/win for her.
first if biden/harris lost she can point out their shitty policies as the reason. if they won she can claim she helped bring the critical left vote.
for her and her role it was the correct call. my role was to fuck over harris in biden. which I happily did. see situation 1.
But you see that requires being able to understand cause, effect, and complex interactions within dynamic environments.
yes, she and bernie endorsed him. they also were critical of the admin’s israel policies the entire time. I dont have a problem with this.
Unless of course your advocating the she should have supported trump, or literally any of the useful idiots with zero chance of winning. that literally would have been a waste of political capital. I was happy to support jill over harris because that was my role in the situation took all of 5 minutes to check a few box. oi the burden!
I drew a picture of you
still falling for the ‘rotating villain’ routine, amazing
I shit on people in hateful, murdering parties
yeah thats why no likes you.
Telling on yourself lol. Good thing I don’t want hateful murderers to like me
you have plenty of far shittier targets in the DNC to go after than AOC
And you have much more productive things to do than argue with leftists online about how we should be nicer to AOC, yet here you are. Why is it that your criteria for “better targets” only goes one way? Why do you think this is acceptable, when you have far shittier sites to visit and far worse people to argue with, but our critique of is somehow… wrong? In some way I can’t even grasp.
Yes, your critique of AOC is wrong, essentially because its not based on reality. but hey. who am I to tell you what reality is. you do you. =)
“Not based on reality” in that I am pointing to actual things she has done, and your defensive is based in reality in that you can’t mention anything she’s done? Great stuff.
Yes, things you think shes done. I understand why you think that, you’re a idealist. your ideals are flawed but I get it. I’ve also pointed out the literal things she done that point to that she doesn’t support the positions you assert she does. she literally voted against aid for israel and then voted for aid that helped the ukraine and taiwan and israel. those are two very different situations. she absolutely critiqued biden for his border policies. policies she can’t change.
Thats living in reality, understanding why she did things. just saying ‘OH NO SHE VOTED FOR A BILL WITH AID TO ISRAEL!!! SHE BAD’ isnt. its not recognizing the context shes operating in. instead of going after literally the 400 other people who did the exact same thing you’re wasting breath on one of the few people in congress who stands for literally 80% of what you want. worker owned production, better social systems, etc.
If you can’t recognize that well thats a you problem. Notice how you guys are stuck here on your little island shes out there bringing the ideas you supposedly want to the masses in a nice package and you’re pissed over compromise bills and lack of pointless agitation? I mean fuck child, you have so many other people to be upset about and you focus the purity tests on the only one remotely in your sphere? lol. no wonder you cant accomplish anything.
Let the girl do her thing in peace. go shoot some ceos or something.
Yes, your critique of AOC is wrong, essentially because its not based on reality
Apparently, literally pointing to concrete things that she did is ‘not based on reality’, but hyping up her supposed ‘achievements’ while being unable to mention any is somehow not.
when you’re willfully ignoring how shes literally on the record as not supporting those things and the context of which those bills were passed, then yes, you’re ignoring reality. Supporting biden for reelection vs trump is not supporting his border policies. Supporting aid to the ukraine and Taiwan is not supporting genocide done by israel. not wasting every day bitching about bidens border policies on children is not the same as supporting it. As for the rail strike I disagree with her on that one but if her statement is true, then she was literally doing what she was elected to do, represent her constituents.
so whats left for me to fact check for you? yes, AOC is not a communist, but she sure hell is orders of magnitudes better than what we have and if you can’t recognize that well… thats a you problem.
So she hasn’t defended Biden, helped break a strike, stopped agitating for the children thrown in cages, defended harsher border policies and so much more? Wow I guess I can’t trust the wikipedia article you linked anymore. Damn.
hey man dunno about you but I don’t spend every day bitching about shit. got things to do. And no she hasnt, she just doesn’t waste time on shit she can’t change beyond pointing it out. just because you’re intractable doesn’t mean everyone is.
=) = I’m not mad
Someone exhausted by having to constantly push for positive outcomes
Lol. Like what?
But but but…she doesn’t have any pull in congress! She’s just a smol beanis congressional rep! Definitely not one of the most powerful people in the US, let alone the world!
It was not constant, the point in her phrasing was that she “took a break” for four years while it was her team of murderers in power. “Ah man, if Trump wins we need it ‘resist’ again…”
gasp she didnt have to constantly fight with people who would gladly murder her for a change! the horror! seriously get some perspective.
So you agree that she stopped standing up for minorities as soon as her team of murderers were in power
No, I think she focused her efforts on persuadable individuals instead of trying to shank them at the first opportunity.
I’m glad you agree shes one of maybe 10 members of congress who are actually worth anything though. sad that instead of protecting her and helping elect people more like yourself you’re shitting all over the one most closely aligned with you.
So does she have to fight or not? Moving the battleground to individuals doesn’t mean it’s not a fight - either she’s stopped, or she’s still fighting. It sounds to me that you’re not actually considering what you’ve already said, and are just grasping for any argument that will help you “win” in the moment.
I think you have a misunderstanding on what ‘fighting’ means. unlike you, she doesn’t lash out at everyone like a hurt animal. that literally gets you no where. She doesn’t waste her time persuading those who are not persuadable. (i.e. you, republicans, capitalists.)
So tell me: you get into office, you’re essentially solo in your views, how would you deal with the bills being proposed? beyond getting nothing by essentially refusing to vote for anything. Yes you’re very principled; we get it.
Whatever it is she tried to do did not achieve the supposed goals of helping vulnerable people.
No, I think she focused her efforts on persuadable individuals instead of trying to shank them at the first opportunity
Sounds like trying to persuade individual nazis is not a fruitful tactic.
And that’s ignoring the fact that she has always been one of them, starting her career as a CIA asset.
sad that instead of protecting her
Why would we protect people who actively do stuff like support (or, rather, directly participate in, given her position) a highly-televised genocide?
and helping elect people more like yourself
Firstly, the USian state is never going to allow that to happen.
Secondly, we have several centuries of electoral politics to look back on, and we can plainly see that electoral politics are useless when it comes to improving the lives of working-class people in general. So why should we care about electing anybody in the US?you’re shitting all over the one most closely aligned with you
A nazi that is the closest to either of us in their views is still a nazi whose views are incompatible with ours.
You’re expectations of her are not couched in reality. You’re blaming her for the actions of others. She literally has zero pull in congress.
So why should we care about electing anybody in the US?
Let me know when you do something actually effective. last I checked you havent murdered any CEOs or won any political office. Of the two of you, AOC is far more effective at accomplishing her goals. sucks to suck I guess. Too bad that history you’re trying to flout is worth less than the bits its encoded by.
Okay everyone please log in to bureaucrat if you wish to respond to the silly lib.
The last one definitely didn’t understand they were talking to like 5 of us because they were mad that we were replying to every one of their comments across the whole thread lol
The last one? So we’ve already managed to do it once before? That’s fantastic!
Will do, cornrads!
Lied about an ongoing genocide on prime time TV, was the number one person trying to revive Biden’s campaign after everyone saw he wasn’t mentally fit, voted to break a strike, and didn’t even get the committee appointment.
Insider strategy working great!

Counterpoint: shes really coming into her own as a powerhouse Dem presidential candidate. Look how well she’s already turning losses to wins with bosstweets!
I can’t wait for her book “What Happened II, Election Boogaloo”

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP! OH MY FUCKING GOD!
Lmao she threw in the towel like 6 years ago
Let’s do this.
Do what?
FFS Dems, you can’t just use language that sounds motivational and expect that to get people excited. You need to actually brief people on what your goals are and what to do to accomplish those goals.

Locked in.
Just like all those kids in the border camps.
My god this is great news for her. She can go back to being super duper sad face about kids in cages! And not a single person in her circles will ask where she was the previous 4 years!
Do what? What is it that democrats do? Tweet? Liberals are politically unengaged. All they know is tweet and vote.
Ever time i see that photo up i think to myself “is she effin for real rn?”
I laughed real, high pitched , high hilarity laugh just now, not my usual internet guffaw. Thanks
That last photo always gets to me. I think it’s the lipstick and I don’t know why. And why is she wearing all white?
probably because she intentionally dressed for a photoshoot and wearing all white implies purity and lack of complicity in what’s happening
I imagine the same, but for someone who is hailed as “being great at optics” that’s a really terrible idea. It screams “politician who is only here for a performative photo op”
it’s a painfully obvious move
Just thinking about the mechanics of doing the shoot… Yikes
I wonder what she was actually thinking about to summon those tears
not being invited to the cool DC kids brunch
She looks so long in this. Almost a match for
it sort of works if you assume the tears being wiped away are from joker laughing at

how many historic democrat voters were demobilized by the Democrats this time
-
how the Democrats are trying very hard to learn nothing from this massive loss at the institutional level
-
how hard the Democrats are blaming minorities for the failures of the party
