    "OCASIO-CORTEZ: “They’re like, and we need to — you know, they say discrimination or unfair incarceration of black men, and then they pause and the crowd cheers, and it’s like, in their mind, they’re like ‘you’re welcome’ for acknowledging it. And it’s like, okay, acknowledging racism is a really big step. It’s a really big step from where we were. But you’re right, it’s nowhere near enough and the solutions are so painful. Frankly, I find it — I find the solutions for white communities to be very painful because it’s very painful for a community to understand and have go through this — like, you can be — the idea that you can be poor and benefit from the color of your skin does not compute for a lot of people. And going through that realization is very painful or even just economically for people that were born with silver spoons. It’s very painful to admit that you had advantages and it’s just — “

    ...she's clearly not feeling it (the compassion she believes is missing)... and trying so very very hard to explain why not. We simply cannot understand how it feels because to "know" you have to "become" :lol:

    One thing I've learned in my life is when you are unable to properly explain something.... then you're ************ yourself.

    Damn that was some word salad, or verbal diarrhea, or something. I feel stupider just for having read it.

    If you've been reading trump too I'm not sure how you haven't been reduced to a drooling vegetable by now. They are two morons on the opposite side of the same coin.

    Democrats believe white people have racism in their DNA and they are dreaming up a final solution to the racism problem as we speak.

    :roflol:

    Whatever.:bored: Cisgendered? :bored:

    Just More AOC Obsession from the RW?:roflol:

    Is the RW Serious?

    AOC, as always, Trolling the RW like a Champ (AND They take the Trollbait, Reflexively).

    WOW.

    Why is the RW so easy to troll?

    AOC really has the RW's number.

    Like fish in a barrel.

    It might be time for a Moveon.Org Petition to get PF to add a Separate Section for AOC.

    The Constant Repetitive OBSESSIVE RW SPAMMING of AOC Threads (every time that she changes her shoes) has been screwing up the look of the Forum.

    It is time to give AOC her own section (so the RW SPAMMERS can keep all of their Obsessive AOC BS in a Separate Section and not RUIN the Main Forum for people who want to actually discuss things that matter).

    Just forget about AOC. Don't let her haunt your dreams. It's ok.:flagus:

    Sounds to me like you're looking for a final solution to the liberal problem.

    Not that I'm aware of, but I'm sure when s/he comes along, it'll be one of Trump's very best people.

    In terms of Pure COMEDIC Talent (and the ability to uproariously entertain with a Consistent Stream of Delusional Comical Content) she is still Light Years Behind Trump and his Merry Band of MAGAs

    In much the same way as Ricky Gervais "triggers" venues full of people bursting with laughing at everything he says.

    So, are the Right Wingers here upset because they weren't born cisgendered or laughing at her because she Was?

    I've got a fair amt of 'higher edu.' under my belt & my biggest takeaway is the fact that it is a ramped up "liberal" indoctrination camp, picking up where HS's ideologic molding & shaping left off. Profs exist not in the real world but in the surreal bubble that they have ensconced themselves and their students in (BH-O & Pocahontas to mind but AOC is a beaut).

    Gone are the quaint notions of free market viability, tangible efficacy, streamlining production of a good or providing a service. No, 'Theory' & 'progressive cerebralism' reign king in the bastions of "higher edu." ROTFL...

    It is no wonder that my peers (Occasional Cortex included) who didn't buck the system, thinking for themselves & subscribing to an authority greater than themselves - wound up regurgitating the conjured & twisted idealizations of their sic Profs. Obama was better spoken that AOC but parroted, none the less, from the same 'academia' hand book.

    So, I take it you're really, like, you know, really, embarrassed that she's, you know, a member of your click.

    She said she was cisgendered (normal) but implies that anyone who isn't just ain't normal. She's your gal.

    I agree, I binge watched CNN on Nov 9 2016 and it was without a doubt the comedy event of the 21st century.

    AOC is yet to produce anything of that caliber, though she has potential.
