That's the narrative people keep repeating, sort of like how Trump is a cheetoh Hitler who hates the gayz. She does have some batshit economic ideas. I can't deny that. But personally, she actually seems like a good woman.heydaralon wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 8:49 pmI don't really consider her that radical for her party though. Bernie had a lot of support. He didn't win the nom, but he had a solid base. Plus, isn't what she is after pretty much the very thing you are most worried about (ie Marxism)?Speaker to Animals wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 8:40 pmWell, I don't agree with her politics at all. I just don't happen to think she is personally a bad person. I kind of like her even if I hate her politics.heydaralon wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 8:38 pm
In what way do you feel that AOC winning influence benefits our country? You are committing a variant of the Dan Carlin Fallacy. Simply hating the status quo does not mean supporting people who are also against it. Often you end up with something worse.
Anybody who wants to burn down the establishment is going to get some goodwill from me. She's in her thirties. It's pretty common for people in that age range to flirt with socialism, especially when they realize how fucking rigged the economy is against them.
As far as all this hand wringing over her.. that's basically the same type of shit we see the liberals doing every time Trump says something funny or crazy. That kind of response isn't going to win you any battles.
What do you even like about her personally? I haven't really been following her, but from my observations she seems like a typical NY spoiled rich bitch brat who would fit right in in Lena Dunham's clique on the show girls. I'll bet irl she is as vapid as the thots on that show. She is not as alarming to me as some of other people and trends, but I'm not on board with her in any way, and if her shit actually gained momentum I think it would be far worse than the establishment. Don't know if this shit is actually true, but she has a horse face and looks unethical to me. I'll bet it is based on that alone.
The fact that she has this nerd boyfriend is only going to make her more popular, dude.
