What are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Flaws?

i know you're going to come back for more though, i can feel it. hit me baby one more time with that unfiltered straight up milo z shit. I'M READY.

Stan culture is a terrible mistake.

This thread's gone cold
I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all

i like aoc and all but coolest left politician in the world is a bit much

"coolest politician" is a bit much unless you mean LBJ and his schlong.

Okay well wherever you'd rank her exactly my point stands. Dumping on her for attending the Met gala... what kind of purity test does she need to pass for approval?? If she'd gone in a normal dress no doubt we'd have heard 'Wake me up when AOC writes 'Tax The Rich' on the back of her gala dress... YAWN'

Like I'm going to say at this point, even if she had gone to the Met gala merely to 'hang out with celebrities' (?!) I think she's..... earned it??

i see we got hot takes here
have we ever considered
not having them

she is a celebrity herself

Dumping on her for attending the Met gala.

Which I didn’t do. You missed that, I guess?

I said the dress was dumb. She’s cool and has done good work and will hopefully do more good work. That doesn’t mean her every action is a brilliant political coup or that she can’t wear a cringey dress to a fancy rich people party. I think she should have just gone and had fun and gotten a photo doing shots with Frank Ocean.

Frank Ocean is cool?

if she were really cool, she would’ve gone with frank to the us open final in a dress that read “get the goddamn vax, novak”

it must suck to know that even when you're just fucking around and having a good time, people are gonna treat you like a source of entertainment and twitter takes. on the other hand, that seems like a nice way to kill a night in the most surreal way possible. but yeah, i really don't care about the gala or, frankly, most of the met's fashion exhibits.

AOC seems pretty cool as far as anyone whose job it is to maintain and police policy goes

I enjoyed Tracer Hand's comedy posts just above!

not so much comedic, just accurate

I would submit that, in our specific context of the United States in AD 2021, that taxing rich is a quite radical idea for policy makers (if not for the general public, if polls are correct). The context also including that through decades of deliberate government policy, it’s the rest of us non rich schlubs who actually pay the taxes.

Who is the coolest pol?

Xxxp Frank Ocean is TOTALLY cool

Frank Ocean is basically Lil Nas X with zero charisma

And talent

Eh, they’re closer to even than one would like

Frank Ocean's great. AOC's great. You're great, DJP. We're all great.

huh I didn't know Frank Ocean was frowned upon now

aoc is still the coolest. Her biggest mistake in her life so far is a dress she didn’t make

Everyone is great, though

Can't believe there's been this much discussion about a silly dress. At any rate, I still say it looks white and gold to me.

i do think that "tax the rich" is something that sounds common in some circles, like a thing you say almost as a joke, because you know it doesn't happen in a real way in this country, not to the tax levels of many others with better safety nets for their least wealthy people. but i'm not sure if that's a catchphrase that the rest of our asshole country uses. some of those assholes don't know jackshit but they know everything about celebs. so if she can show up at a celebrity thing and wear a phrase and make at least a handful of dumbasses think "tax the rich?! what!? what? what does that mean? jeanne, do you know what means? what the heck? why is she saying that? where is my food coming from? who is taking care of me? where do the people go when they drop off my things and walk away? where do letters come from?", then that's a good thing for america.

my only problem with the dress was that the demand is not specific enough. she should instead have had a table on the dress showing exactly what she wants the top marginal rates to be for different incomes.

where do letters come from?

no in fact she should have revised the entire internal revenue code and had it printed on the dress

Great!

Xpost

a dress made with the entire tax code would be very impressive tbh.

she should echo conservative america and completely double down on the dress. implement harbl's improved vision of the dress (which would be amazing), and then just fight everyone on it all the time, and never, ever admit that it didn't go well or that she isn't completely 100% right. she should say that her fashion choices are given to her by god

a dress to the nation at that stage

she should wear a dress at a carry and conceal state that says "eat my taxes or i'll probably shoot you, in this dumb state"

lol dmac

huh I didn't know Frank Ocean was frowned upon now

I have been frowning upon Frank Ocean since channel ORANGE came out and was two good songs dragged down by what felt like 5000 bad ones

To get back on-topic, AOC could have murdered 7 people at the ball and a bunch of people would still be posting “she didn’t execute them all? What a FAKE”

a dress made with the entire tax code would be very impressive tbh.

now i think i am going to put in some orders on spoonflower.com and make a new duvet cover

I think you should trademark taxCŌD immediately

WAKE UP SHEEPLE

Friendly PSA: AOC is not just a “Latinx bartender from the Bronx with no political experience” but actually an establishment opp with a spooky past who was put where she is to subvert America’s growing Leftist movement. THREAD ⬇️🕵🏻 pic.twitter.com/y87ET4y3Ru

put where she is, ahahah
lol, yeah, they looked at all their options and put her against a 10-term incumbent who was also the Democratic Caucus Chair, just to start off slowly and cautiously

i hate that thread and that it was posted here

I feel like there needs to be some sort of asshole advisory on twitter stuff like that ... or like hidden text ... maybe it's my white fragility or maybe there are just a lot of horrible stupid people on the internet

it's in the twitter user agreement that everyone "reads" when they sign up. deep in the text it's like "warning, there's a whole of horrible stupid people here, meaning probably you, so..."
