People need to point out that if she was white and Republican they wouldn't believe her. But since she's a dirty spic they're willing to assume that yes she could be from dirt. It's pretty hilarious if you think about it.
In which a Republican literally tries to mansplaining my own childhood and life to me.
And in true mansplaining form, he’s doing it wrong with an great degree of confidence.
It begs the question: is the GOP really “sending us their best?”
And in true leftist fashion she relies on condescension and tu quoque. Fuck, it's like when leftists melted down about being called "snowflakes" and "NPCs" and then tried to use those insults back on people. It's sad, really.
The fact that she keeps trying to push an easily disproved and blown narrative just makes her seem that much more mentally unstable.
You'd think the DNC would have dispatched a squad of handlers to try and tamp down her crazy by now. I wonder if Pelosi is purposely keeping them away so "Alex from da Bronx" will implode spectacularly without her having to get her hands dirty. It's not like she's risking losing a NYC seat to the GOP.
where is she really from? that place was and still is being gentrified, and some blocks are still truly ghetto as fuck... like don't walk around at night, don't let your wife out of the house alone at night or during the day without spray and a cell..
Entertaining to see privileged people act like they have had to endure any kind of challenges in life. I think AOC has had an easy path to success given her affluent upbringing and being a woc putes her way ahead oppression olympics it's a perfect time for her to shine. Pendulum is already swinging the other way (the right direction imo) she won't be popular enough to be president by the time she is old enough to qualify for candiancy. I do look forward to some entertaining tweets from OAC in the years to come.
Also is she bragging that her mother made her own child scrub toilets and regularly brought her to work with her? this smells of BS to me...
I honestly don't understand why conservatives are so obsessed with Ocasio-Cortez. She's about to become one of the most junior members of the House. She's pretty good on Twitter. There are at least 200 Democrats in Washington who are more important than her. Why all the hate?
This Twitter spat is especially dumb. Who cares what the average household income was in the town she grew up in? Was that her household's income? Is anyone saying she didn't scrub toilets with her mom or bartend before launching her run for Congress? Is there some ingrained belief on the right that we should all be ruled exclusively by rich elites who inherited their money?
Hm ok, well not to critique your tactics, but wouldn't it make more sense then to attack her beliefs that you believe are so insane? Every time conservatives attack her for not being rich or for her upbringing, they just end up looking like clueless assholes.
I don't necessarily agree with everything she's said, but she seems smarter and more informed than plenty of politicians on the right, like Louie Gohmert or Steve King, for example. Or hell even Trump. And being president requires just a bit more knowledge than being a junior member of the House.
"I don't necessarily agree with everything she's said, but she seems smarter and more informed than plenty of politicians on the right, like Louie Gohmert or Steve King"
You've got to be fucking well kidding. She's an utter moron. Every time she opens her mouth she is a disaster. Steve King is nowhere near as bad.
I love Ocasio-Cortez, she's a walking disaster who is going to make her party look bad.
she is a tar baby for the lefty if we give her political air she will attract voters from the left away from more competent leftist. I love her for this because she wakes up more voters to what the left is about and my guess is that she is not in on the secret that most democrats do not believe what they tell the public they believe,
I think you are not understanding some colloquialisms I am using. the term tar baby is from the Disney movie Song of the south. the tar baby in the movie is a fake baby made from sticks and tar if you touch it in any way you get tar all over your hands and the fake baby is attached to you....the word lefty was suppose to be leftist... simply put I was saying that Ocasio-Cortez. is not a very good demacrat because unlike most of the demacrat leadership she believes the propaganda put out by the party. this is making her a darling of the left and dangerous to the party because she tends to exposes the lies told when she speaks to the public and take a position on a isue
Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the congress woman of a town called Bronx
In Westchester born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'Your going to pretend your from in Bronx'
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suit case and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my Walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
Hmm this might be alright.
But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that
Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the congress woman of da bronx
Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought 'Nah, forget it' - 'Yo, homes to Bronx'
Once I got there I took a few photos and said what the fuck is this get me outta here. Take me back to my house in Westchester.
I pulled up to the house about seven or eigth
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the a congress woman of the bronx.
His first month in office he invited the heads of the major tech companies from SV to Trump tower and personally gave them all blowies. Videos are all over YT, articles are all in the news. These are all the Execs, the companies, and the employees of whom actively censored him, his supporters, and promoted Hillary during the election.
He knew Big Tech was a Big Problem and has done nothing about it. Zero. Ignored it. Moved on to other shit. Whined a bit, yes, but moved on. No funding for alt-tech start-ups, no funding for right-tech (vs left-tech), never went through with USGOVT News Network (just tweeted as always then went and moved on--like the S.African genocide), no funding for alt-news, right-news, no funding for alt-news platforms, not even a tweet mention about alternative ways to get information: shout-outs to the good jewey-boy like everyone's favorite shit-stein whatshisname, Alex Jones (understandable silence on that one tbh), no speaking out about censorship, no bitch-slapping FB, TWTR. He literally stood by and continued to massage their balls while they banned Republicans and "wrong-think'ers" from their platforms... all while they are under contract with the government (data siphoning).
1-time is done. Won't even get his TV shows back. He's a clown and a disgrace. He's a whiny baby who acts like he has no power to do anything but Tweet. Give me the office of the president and you wont see me the fuck on Voat. ...are you kidding me? Yeah, other people Tweet for him... good move PR-wise? Does it make him look good, or like a fucking simpleton whose thoughts are best represented in 150 characters or less, accentuated with one word exclamatories? I would not say good. BAD!
dude wasn't being funny, he was firing shots. but i don't follow his twitter so i don't know if he makes idiotic posts at people regularly (is a troll account). she reacted with the word "man-splaining" though ("look at this dumb man, eh, my fellow females?") when she should have just let the replies he picked up speak for themselves, or asked him what the "average" was 28 years ago pre-gentrification when she was child so he could educate her on the struggles her parents went through and she went through as a child.
He literally grew up in the next town over and is only a little older than her. She grew up rich and he knows it because her town was nicer than his and he grew up nice and went to an ivy league
While he may have gone to an Ivy League school(?) she apparently went to a public HS (Yorktown Heights), and a public U. (Boston University) unless you have records otherwise.
There are plenty of sources where she tells here story, but she has a primary theme:
...she leans heavily on the narrative of she and her mother living together while her mother's "scrubbing of toilets so she could live there" was the only thing that allowed them to afford the house (IIRC she also at some point mentions doing that herself. Cleaning houses is actually a decent way to make money and a lot of times most people will pay you in cash for it--no IRS):
"2. It is nice. Growing up, it was a good town for working people. My mom scrubbed toilets so I could live here & I grew up seeing how the zip code one is born in determines much of their opportunity."
I'm sure that's true. However, what she's leaving out is that her father was an Architect:
Her father, an architect of Puerto Rican descent, was born in the Bronx, while her mother was born in Puerto Rico.[14][15]
Ocasio-Cortez attended Yorktown High School, graduating in 2007,[17] where she won second prize in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair with a microbiology research project on the effect of antioxidants on C. elegans' lifespan.[18] As a result, the International Astronomical Union named a small asteroid after her: 23238 Ocasio-Cortez.[19][20] In high school, she took part in the National Hispanic Institute's Lorenzo de Zavala (LDZ) Youth Legislative Session. She later became the LDZ Secretary of State while she attended Boston University.
Her father passed while she was a sophomore and by then she was interning with a US Senator, so I'm not entirely sure this "My mom and I scrubbed toilets so we could live there!" story lines up. Him being a well paid Architect for many years also does not work into her "somos los pobres, cansados, y oprimidos".
Considering the platform she's running on I can understand why she would leave that bit out.
Ocasio-Cortez had a John F. Lopez Fellowship.[21] In 2008, while Ocasio-Cortez was a sophomore at Boston University, her father died of lung cancer.[22][23] During college, she was an intern in the immigration office of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy.[24] She graduated cum laude from Boston University's College of Arts and Sciences in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in international relations and a minor in economics.[21][25][26]
Ocasio-Cortez was 2 years old when her father, Sergio Ocasio-Roman, bought a modest home in Yorktown for $150,000. The family lived in the Parkchester section of the Bronx at the time and moved to the house in Yorktown a few years later.
Again, her father was an Architect. This is not about her mother scrubbing toilets for them to get by (while yes, after his passing I'm sure things were not as easy--though as soon as you have dependents everyone should have a life insurance policy).
However, here's the real catch:
Westchester County land records show that Ocasio-Cortez was living there with her mother and brother in 2016 when they sold the home for $355,000.
If these public records are valid then her "mi so pobre" act is ENTIRELY horse-shit.
Or more than I paid for my pleasantly nice home in expensive as fuck Maryland on my software engineer salary.
her father, Sergio Ocasio-Roman, bought a modest home in Yorktown for $150,000
Adjusted for inflation that's around $320k-$350k
She didn't go ivy league because she is extremely low IQ. She went for foreign relations and economics yet knows literally nothing about either. You don't fucking study foreign relations and know nothing about Israel/Palestine and you don't fucking study economics and not know how unemployment is calculated.
My fan-club down-vote brigade is at it again today. If you all really want to suck me and fuck me with your pretty little vaginas just send me a private message and we'll meet up.
All she needs is to keep being a democrat latino in a democrat latino district. That 's the only reason she got elected. She beat some old accountant looking white guy who was running for congress in an anti-white party. Not sure why people hang on everything she says.
