American news presenters will never look human to me.
Every other country, they look like humans. In the US, definitely skinwalkers.
A true “They live” vibe, I agree.

It is just something else that people are expressing their attraction to AOC as a negative.
I just don’t understand the mindrot anymore.
She can’t be viewed in a positive light, because she’s an Evil Icky Socialist.
Democratic socialist not a socialist.
You may not like it, but…
Democratic socialism is fundamentally and ideologically different from traditional socialism. It combines a democratic system of government with a socialist economic model to create a system where capitalism can’t run amok the way it does now.
She is not simply a socialist. She is a democratic socialist. One of the worst things about the English language is the word “social” and all of its various iterations, many of which have vastly different meanings. I wish they could have come up with different nomenclature, because it would save us from having these ridiculous discussions all the time.
Moreover, there are numerous wildly successful countries that practice social democracy, whereas there are essentially no countries that meaningfully practice democratic socialism.
Therefore, social democracy in practice is successful, while democratic socialism is a great idea that has yet to be implemented on any meaningful scale.
This is why the distinction matters. AOC isn’t a traditional socialist. She doesn’t espouse Leninist or Stalinist ideology.
It is so tiresome having to constantly make this distinction so people don’t immediately go down the “socialist” rabbit hole.
And this isn’t directed towards you. It’s just frustrating.
I wanted to ask you the difference between social democracy and democratic socialism, but I’m afraid of being angrily condescended too.
This is why the distinction matters. AOC isn’t a traditional socialist. She doesn’t espouse Leninist or Stalinist ideology.
The field of socialist political theory doesn’t begin with Lenin and end with Mao. You have plenty of rival and parallel traditions, from Eugene Debbs to Peter Kropotkin to Murray Bookchin to Richard Wolff.
Lenin got the (relative) benefit of a very specific moment in a very specific region. Russia was on the cusp of the industrial revolution just as its aristocratic government had overcommitted to a horrifying military campaign that hollowed out its national leadership. This, in a country where a couple of super-cities dictated the political fortunes of the largest contiguous sovereign landmass on earth.
No shit AOC isn’t Lenin. We’re never going to get another Lenin, because we’re never going to see a mass labor movement catch on at the tail end of WW1 in Petrograd just as the diesel engine is becoming popular. This isn’t even about ideology, it’s about material conditions.
And this isn’t directed towards you. It’s just frustrating.
I mean, I agree, but for slightly different reasons. People keep casting back 100 years and saying “Ah, but you’re not trying to unionize the steelworkers from inside a sealed boxcar, so you’re not doing socialism correctly”.
But when you crack the hood on AOC’s Green New Deal and peak inside, that’s exactly the sort of shit Lenin would have championed. Massive economic modernizations that accrue wealth directly to the working class as social unit? A sprawling state-directed bureaucracy to manage the industrial reforms? Decoupling a critical domestic utility from the private sector while drastically increasing productivity to make the commodity virtually free at point of use?
That’s So Lenin!
I’ll spot you that AOC’s aged like milk. She came into office leading a parade of angry activists to Nancy Pelosi’s front door and came an inch shy of nailing 99 Leftist Theses to her front door. Now she just blows up my phone with annoying donation requests and does stupid Twitch streams repeating hashed over health care talking points for the 90th time.
But slapping the “DemSuc” label on her, because she’s not chanting chapter and verse out of the Little Red Book while wearing a Mao Suit is just getting hung up on bullshit aesthetics. The least Lenin thing she’s done is lose. But its not for lack of trying. It’s certainly not for lack of ideology.
Fox News hosts have a serious thing for Dem Candidates. Even Jesse Watters was talking about how sexy El-Sayad way after the good doctor slapped Watters around earlier with his own circumcised “dingaling” while Watters giggled and blushed like a schoolgirl.
It was the gayest thing I’ve ever seen, and I have literally barfed from sucking too much cum out of too many dicks from a glory hole at a truck stop bathroom in Kentucky.
Yeah. It was that fucking gay, and even more sloppy.
Edit: before anyone asks, I’m fine. That was a long time ago. I’m just sayin’… what the fuck is going on at Fox News…?

So you don’t throw up after anymore? good job improving at your hobbies.
First of all, I’m honored. I don’t think I deserve it, but I guess I’m really not in any position to judge anybody. Especially myself.
So you don’t throw up after anymore? good job improving at your hobbies.
I’m gonna answer this in two parts:
First:
No, I learned how to meter intake and control both my gag reflex and my epiglottis, but that’s a longer conversation for another time. What I really learned to do was to stop sucking so many dicks in a row and to not get so full of cum that I felt the need, no, the urge to puke.
Secondly, thank you very much. You know, with enough effort and time, anyone can master something they have a true passion for. And if that mastery truly shows up in any demonstration of that skill, it’s something for everyone to enjoy. 👍😉
Did you spit out the cum between dicks?
Why can’t they say “woman”?
Because they are only attracted to little girls. If they say “Woman” that proves she’s an adult and therefore not attractive.
They don’t know what one is
I don’t understand why this has anything with trump or why it makes trump a bisexual
He keeps giving speeches where he keeps discussing the physique of men in the room and calls them beautiful. It’s very awkward.
There was also that internet sensation where he may or may not have blown Bill “Bubba” Clinton.
I’m also imagining that it is very unlikely that the sex parties he attended didn’t include both men and women.
Now, people are mimicking his cadence and the way she described AOCs lips and hair sound a lot like how Don describes other men in the room.

ok, thank you for contextualsing
I’ve always wondered whether the right’s obsession with AOC was because they couldn’t handle the cognitive dissonance of disagreeing with her politics while also desperately wanting to fuck her. I think I now have my answer.
MAGA has a fetish for the blonde bombshell type, so when someone like AOC, who is the exact opposite, walks in, she attracts ALL the attention, from EVERYBODY.
And it’s not just appearance, that just gets their attention. Then she speaks, and she makes sense, and she obviously knows what she’s talking about, and since she makes sense, why not listen to her?
Oh, yeah, because she’s one of them Commies! As red as her lipstick! The Sociopathic Oligarchs say we can’t afford it! We have wars to fight!
