I actually have had the thought before that someone will complain about her voice because it's not deep enough and I know how that plagues women to be taken seriously. It sucks.

x-post: Ah, no, you do understand my point, Hoos, sorry. Others gave been less generous and I get grumpy in response, shame on me. What I am saying is that I am having a strong visceral negative reaction to her voice (and really, it's her vocal production technique, not her unchangeable voice), but I'm conscious of it and don't dismiss her because of it. Other folks hear the same thing with a different set of prejudices and hear what they want to hear, which is "stupid and young and whiney". It's up to her what she wants to do with her voice entirely; I do think there could be some danger of vocal problems later, and that to me is a real reason to change your style of speaking when you enter a rhetoric job; appeasing misogynists is not a good reason to change.

xp sic, i don't understand why those were quoted. i was saying that 1.) i think her voice is fine, and 2.) regardless, the whole concern-trolling obsession with "optics"--i.e., "it's no problem to me, personally, but i just wonder how xyz will come across to voters in Michconsin"—makes me want to die.

it's so naturalized to "think like a strategist" now
― Trϵϵship, Sunday, 10 February 2019 21:53 (five years ago) link
it’s lightly amusing that you expressed an opinion about her voice, and then seven minutes later said that the very concept of (other) people even having an unexpressed opinion about her voice made you want to die

this is a bad thread

fwiw,the thread title is a reference to
what are barack obama's flaws?
i meant it as a compliment (barack obama had a relatively successful political career), not as a serious conversation starter. not everyone's going to understand the callback, but i figured the vast majority of ilxors would since we don't exactly get much new blood around these parts.

km, i know the reference i just think its funny how this is becoming every ilx politics thread.

anyway back to the topic...
one of AOC's flaws is that she cant grant me sitewide mod privs to own people on the politics thread in private via yellow carding

We find repeated stress throughout the ancient literature on the authority of the deep male voice in contrast to the female.

I think of AOC like Guru from Gangstarr, like did he have the must naturally great rap voice? probably not...but AOC's great personality, social media savvy and knack for being able to make political points really simple and impactful for people is like Guru's I'll lyrical skills...this is supported by her her progressive left agenda which is like the banging Premo beats of American politics....and the green new deal could be her Hard to Earn

safe to say that at least some prominent people fell for the disinformation campaign that immediately popped up around the green new deal
Safe to say Green New Deal will be a staple of Trump's 2020 stump speech: “I really don’t like their policy of taking away your car, of taking away your airplane rights, of let’s hop a train to California, of you’re not allowed to own cows anymore," he said to cheers in El Paso.— Philip Rucker (@PhilipRucker) February 12, 2019

Albania's ultra-hardline communist dictator Hoxha dotted the countryside with concrete bomb shelters. Now that he's long gone and Albania is finally open, people often use them as toilets.
