What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

she's good

AOC kind of tying Zuckerberg in knots here on political ads.

Q: Can I run ads telling voters the wrong election date?
Z: No.
Q: So you are fact-checking politics ads?
Z: For specific things.
Q: Can I run ads in GOP primaries saying they backed my Green New Deal?
Z: I don't know.

I get the sense this is more useful as a strand of the argument that Facebook is a malign force that needs to be broken up than evidence that it can / should be reformed with a stronger commitment to fact-checking. Putting such an appalling corporation in charge of filtering news for perceived accuracy without addressing the underlying power it has would be a terrible misstep.

The antitrust legislation Warren is promising is the best part of her platform and her public analysis of tech despotism is something the squad can easily get behind.

Love that Zuckerberg is getting eaten alive from a girl who went to BU and ended up working in a bar for years in this clip. Her triumph over millennial disappointment is definitely a huge part of her appeal.

Crikey - AOC grilled Zuckerberg? What a tremendous confrontation!

strong Tom Wamsgans vibes when Zuck said "I think lying is bad"

Zuckerberg probably can cite a higher IQ than AOC, but AOC has the advantage on him, because of her superior clarity about how intelligence should be used and what for.

On what are you basing this opinion

ahahahah yesss

brilliant

I think Zuck’s IQ is just mildly above average. His fortune is an utter accident.

he was a psych major who made a hot or not app that had decent GUI, this checks out

Lol come on

no YOU come on

are you dudes arguing over a phony measure of intelligence concerning a mirthless sociopath?

I always feel like the smartest thing zuckerberg ever did was marry an asian american pediatrician.

It wasn't ruthlessly shanking everyone he could en route to being a billionaire?

not in earnest!! iq is bullshit i just like dunking on zuck (zunking if u will)

his wife gives him the appearance of humanity. xpost

hopefully he knows to keep his dick pics to polaroid formats.

mark zuckerberg's dick is so huge and girthy that it requires a wide panorama format, is what i heard

ok what the hell Karl

i'm not going to actually FP you, but I'm going to just post "FP"

i just thought, when in rome

when in Querelle more like

alfred said "mirthless" sociopath not "girthless" sociopath

exactly, no one would suggest that he is without girth, quite the contrary. it is body horror

after knowing that bezos take dick pics I will never not be surprised about who does that.

lookit, i just want my irl cartoon villains to be a little more fleshed out

i'm not sure which is worse, this or the IQ speculation

definitely the IQ speculation

I will posit that he has no girth.

definitely the IQ speculation

Happy to withdraw it.

My main point was that AOC's words and actions demonstrate a more useful and pointed intelligence than Zuckerberg's words and actions. Which sort of observation is usually coupled with remarks about how misleading IQ scores are as a predictor of large swaths of useful behavior that are more valuable than the outcomes IQ scores are able to predict. Which is also a position I endorse.

Based on their words and actions, I would bet a sold chunk of cash that AOC wipes the floor with Zuckerberg on both real world intelligence and socially constructed pseudo-quantitative estimates of same

*solid chunk, gah

Zuck's haircut in that hearing is very distracting.

you guys are getting weird in here.

It really is. He should have an army of people prepping him for these hearings and helping him look good on camera, but instead he gets himself into situations where he’s relentlessly clowned over his booster seat, his haircut, and his actual answers.

xp

zuck's do was barely a step up from mark davis

i want to see see trey gowdy question zuckerberg, one on one

naw, they'd just trade compliments until Gowdy's time elapsed

I believe this is called "docking"

Trey calls Zuck something else when the crowds are gone

You have to remember Zuckerberg stepped directly from his clueless adolescence into an impenetrable life-bubble.

He wanted some penetration

Speakin of the ole Zuck, I had a public post pulled down for hate speech today. The post was:

"Yes, many Americans are dumber than Europeans. Look who we elected President.

But I think you'd lose a debate with a pencil sharpener."

So good to know the transphobia, racism, misogyny, threats of violence I report are never taken down, but Trump insults are out of bounds.
