AOC is a political hack. But she’s the only voice for an entire generation of voting age Americans.
Well, that’s a vast overstatement and one I hope isn’t true. She’s pretty much a left-wing Trump.
ETA: and this is why I abstain. It’s totally garbage that people think the answer to one idiot is an idiot on the other end.
Eta 2: If you think AOC speaks for an entire generation, I’d suggest you have missed out on a massive movement among a group of many of the higher intellect millennials that skews far away from AOC. They might be fewer in number, but I’d suggest their means of influence is beyond what you might imagine. I don’t agree with most of these folks, but I am aware of and acknowledge they exist and they will not just crumple for someone, especially a walking socialist soundbite with no grip on anything exhibiting any sort of intellectual or moral rigor (so like I said, a left wing trump). It’s why I’ve given up on voting. It’s all bullshit. I will not grant tacit approval to these morons by casting a vote for any of them.
ETA 3: We just radicalize our own population with polarizing political bullshit to the extent we render external terrorism moot. Wake up, social media warriors. What’s needed is some good, reasonable, common sense statesmanship, not a bunch of like-whoring internet-feedback tailored misfits crafting a social media narrative and driving wedges between people.
FFS, practically all of the “political stars” of today are nothing but walking retweets of bad ideologies that fail either morally, economically, or politically when subjected to the scrutiny of the entire populous. I’m sick to death of it on all sides.
Eta4: I’m disgusted with myself for using “AOC” to refer to the wrong person. Can’t believe it’s seeped into me. Stick to soccer, soccer twitter.
