She’s too woke for me.
Her inability to think critically instead of agreeing with everything that is popular in her Twitter bubble is a big problem.

timshelthechoice · 24/10/2019 21:11

She's a virtue-signalling woke one.

Cannot stand AOC. She’s a lying idiot. She is not bright or clever at all.
Raised in a 1% suburb of NYC on a household income that never dipped below $500k/yr. Her bartending was rich kid city slumming a la “Friends”. Her mother bought an apartment in the Bronx so she’d have the “local address” to launch her political career where she’d run largely unopposed.

AOC gets more wrong than right.

TWAW mantra and 'cis'-apologist... comfortable with men in women's restrooms because feelz with zero regard for dignity and safety of females? Totes cool with TW playing in women's sports? Catering to male fantasies above female reality? No thanks

Free college? Awesome, I'm on board!

Subjective morals over facts and proper understanding and proper representation of data? No thanks

Re-envision the US economy through the eyes of a Democratic Socialist hidden within the Green New Deal? Actively playing out "absolute power corrupts absolutely"? Giving an oppressive biased incompetent and corrupt government complete control over our economic system? No thanks

Reparations ignoring all but one group that the U.S. was built on the backs of? Like Native Americans staring in 1607 - Trail of Tears anyone? 130million NA people murdered through genocide, hello?!? Chinese indentured servants/laborers legally discriminated against via federal legislature? Women as a class?!?!? Can we get focused here please? Reparations aren't going to work as all of the people in the above groups as well descendants of African slaves will end up having to pay for the reparations indirectly through tax revenue generated from their individual tax returns. No thanks

Medicare for all with no way to pay for it except a false claim that $21 trillion was unaccounted for at the Pentagon over a 17yr period? Giving absolute power to our corrupt government known for testing on its citizens control of those same citizen's medical care? No thanks

I believe she genuinely wants to make this country a better place I just don't agree with how she proposes we get there.

"I think that there’s a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right."

💯, facts are measurable and data (collection/analysis methods thereof can be scrutinized) reveals quantifiable and qualifiable insights whereas morals are subjective an open to interpretation (opinions). Whose morals do you propose we adopt in this country fumbling towards a 1984 Brave New World?

But a heck of a lot of people argue TWAW before they suddenly realise its bunk.

Some have more potential than others to cause damage before they get there.

I was “twaw” myself as I had no clue what it really meant. I thought it was simply a kindness to people suffering gender dysphoria.. NOT that all single sex spaces would become mixed sex and that ANY male could self-identify in Shock

AOC is liberal and TWAW is one of the lines they have to toe. Trans lobbyists give funding to the Dems and the GOP, and Politicians don’t bite the hands that fund them.

Women and children don’t have effective lobby groups nor give big donations. It’s not about what anyone believes, it’s about money.

As a racial minority with a class privileged background, she uses identity politics to leverage herself as disadvantaged and assert her rights as a leader. So she believes TWAW because it goes hand in hand with her own so called oppression.

This. She's so woke it's embarrassing.

Yup.

It's kind of strange, in some parts of the political spectrum its become almost necessary to identify as some sort of oppressed group in order to get into politics or to become politically active.

The right group though, my Irish Catholic indentured worker ancestors won't do the trick and more than the ones that were toffs.

terfsandwich · 25/10/2019 03:29

No apparently Irish people's oppression is historic so they need to get over it. According to woke libfems I've seen on fb.

terfsandwich · 25/10/2019 03:30

Also Jewish people have white privilege so they need to stop talking and taking up space in discussions about racial discrimination.
What a fucked up ideology.
