She met and posed with fascist Bolivian coup leaders meanwhile never met a single MAS supporter. Tells you all u need to know about her
My Ole lady is from Bolivia and all I hear is s*** talking bout morales
just in general although yes i think it applies to her. i very much dislike her brand of politics. i see it as highly narcissistic and toxic. i do not disagree with all of her policies but I do not see her furthering a real rightful cause honestly, i think even for the policies i agree with her on she's just further contributing to the problems of our political machine. not to knock on people who like her because I get it, she's a young left wing minority politician, but i strongly believe politicians shouldn't have a cult of personality in a political system like ours which gives massive amounts of immunity and leighway to politicians over actual voters
completely agree with this post, I too do not align with her at almost any level lol
please i am begging you not to turn politicians into celebrities theyre meant to be representatives that act in your lieu, not be cool and quirky and hip
Are you saying this about AOC specifically? Cause she should be praised and spoken of for what's she's achieved, done & said (especially at her age). And although I agree Politics shouldn't have to be involved/portrayed in popular media the way it has been the past few decades she doesn't seem like her passion or significance can be contributed to being "quirky and hip"
Sadly if they weren’t “celebrities” or went on these talk shows then the general public wouldn’t know s*** about them.
And we’d be stuck with some terrible politicians
She played a key part in deterring amazon away from nyc
Corny in my book
Good
I mean, I feel like in terms of AOC you're being turned off by her use of social media to promote her image, which she does very effectively. It's not like she's some big air head who's not talking about real issues and policies.
The reality is that social media is becoming what TV once was (and radio before it). It's different, and there was always pushback and calls of showboating to politicians using new forms of media, but she's not showboating and she's not trying to become a celebrity. She's simply using the new tools at her disposal to promote her message imo.
(Disclaimer: while I think she's using social media very effectively, and I feel like social media is the new form of messaging/promotion/communication for politicians, I personally am deeply disgusted by the effects that social media has had on our society).
This is a pretty good point and you aren't really wrong. This issue is greater than just her and greater than just politics. It's very much a societal issue which her and other politicians are playing into. However, I kind of disagree with what you're saying about her not showboating; it doesn't really seem that way to me. She doesn't old a position which warrants that level of publicity or connection. She's essentially a bureaucratic lawmaker. Like she was doing literal photoshoots and popping into livestreams of e-celebs...that's not really just political promo. But I will definitely agree with you she's just a fulcrum of the system and not the source of it. It's a bigger problem than just her or just politics.
wonder how long it will take until the machine completely strips her of her morals and turns her into Elizabeth Warren
She’s the f***ing goat. Carrying the Bernie torch for real.
On a crude, culture war front, her presence alone triggers right-wing 4 Chan dwelling losers so hard, because it reminds them of the pitfalls of not getting p**** and forces them to situate themselves in a hierarchy of sexual aptness, of which they will always fall short. It’s hilarious.
As a politician, she is exemplary and epitomises a hopeful direction for the future once we overcome the boomers’ last desperate grasp of power.
On the real, most of the intense vitriol directed at her from the right is rooted in some underlying sexual desire.
FLIPPED THAT "I am a father of daughters and husband of a wife" BULLSHIT POLITICIANS ALWAYS PULL OUT
KILLIN IT
AOC and Tucker Carlson are the same person.
Tucker looks like a time traveller
Tucker looks like a time traveller
Tbh he just looks like a racist dude from California (which is exactly what he is).
