What does this mean?!

Are the Democrats moving away from 'woke' in the wake of last week's results? Is it nothing, is she not an ally anymore? Aibu to wonder what it signals?

Who?

CucumberBagel · 14/11/2024 21:07

It means that X is not a safe place to express yourself.

Photodilemmas · 14/11/2024 21:07

Who?! What?

KTheGrey · 14/11/2024 21:09

Well one hopes she’s realised the jig is up.

GoldCat255 · 14/11/2024 21:09

Who the fuck is AOC?

lifeturnsonadime · 14/11/2024 21:10

Well hopefully that's the case given that transgender issues was the third reason for the swing to the Republicans.

Women have had enough. Losing single sex sports and the promotion of harm to children by Admiral Lavine and the lauding of the breast fondling TRA and the other TRA who received presidential accolade for achieving a year of identifying as a 'woman' was enough to put a ton of voters off. A load of women who normally vote Democrat just didn't vote.

AOC is reading the room, perhaps she's hoping for the 2028 ticket.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, apparently, described as being also known by her initials, AOC.

Admittedly, I didn't think Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée would have a Twix account, so I did have to look up this person.

Very left-wing for an American. And, given that, unsurprisingly has been virulently anti-women, judging from a quick look at some news stories - males in women's and girls' sports welcome and to be celebrated.

Isn’t she pregnant?
nothing like motherhood to make you a TERF 😉

Anne of Cleves? No idea.

Snorlaxo · 14/11/2024 21:24

I think that she’s still an ally but might be the first big name to acknowledge that gender issues are a reason why many didn’t /couldn’t vote for Harris. I think that she would say that women can have a penis but will dodge the question in interviews like Starmer did for so long.

Very famous Democrat. Attended the Met Gala (tickets 5 figures +) in a Tax the Rich dress.

I was thinking Archbishop Of Canterbury, but then I saw the 'she'...

Clifton Suspension Bridge put a post up yesterday to say the same.

I hope she pack and go and live happily ever after with her family.

Blimey.

Snorlaxo · 14/11/2024 21:31

Just checked her bio and it says “congresswoman”. Did it always say that ?

ShinyOtter · 14/11/2024 21:32

I didn't know who she was either. ShinyOtter doesn't give a shiny (otter or otherwise) about American politics or pronouns or twitter but the responses on this thread have made me chuckle. Thanks for that.

I wonder what the Clifton Suspension Bridge's preferred pronouns are.

Eh? You hope she moves in with her family in Yorktown, NY where they live? Why?

Or did you mean something else?

Thepurplepig · 14/11/2024 21:40

Oh my god stop the world. Clifton Suspension Bridge has stopped posting on x.

WTF does it post. Hi Everyone, feeling a bit grey today. Won’t be up to much.

Fuck the fuck off!!

Apparently the guardian has left X as well. So in summary, it is a bunch of left wing liberal nutters stamping their feet because Elon supported Trump. I love Musk a bit more every day

Helleofabore · 14/11/2024 21:47

I think that there has to be considerable discussion in the Democratic Party about the strategy that they chose to not engage with feminists and women’s groups to find an equitable solution. Perhaps the result has allowed the elected members to consider/reconsider their stances and AOC has done this in light of that.

We have heard about the push back from adolescents and young adults now. There is a lot less support over the past few years as the ramifications of fully supporting one group’s philosophical belief over established physical science have been realised by those who were previously unquestioningly supportive.
