@sepulchurro@barbarismcrit Before 2018, there were far fewer socialists in office, if any, let alone "leftists" online trying to cannibalize them at every turn. It makes it kinda obvious that these people fell for a psyop lol. Twitter wants us to find personal reasons to hate people we'll never meet
@sepulchurro@barbarismcrit Exactly. Unfortunately, these people aren't too stupid to realize that, I think. The fact that they focus so much on AOC and make their disdain for her so personal reveals that there's a much more sad reason they act like this IMO
@Ri30573435@JovialTripper@barbarismcrit And if you worry that'll guarantee she'll beat any progressive that comes up against her, then the situation has already been decided and you have no reason to worry or tweet about it, right? Do we see these many tweets decrying Obama for being exactly that? No
@Ri30573435@JovialTripper@barbarismcrit Then why does it matter whether or not she runs? If someone better shows up, you can vote for them, problem solved. If you have an issue with her winning because she's actually the establishment opportunist you hope she is, then you have no reason to worry because she will run 1/
@JovialTripper@Ri30573435@barbarismcrit Twitter was such a successful psy-op. Solely because she apparently refuses to criticize Jeffries (although she has made it clear that she would support an alternative over him as speaker), she'd now be worse than a right-wing dem as president. There is no online left
@ttottallove@barbarismcrit And why does that deserve so much personal animosity vs. people actively profiting off genocide? Is she actually resigned to the establishment framing? Lol
@figueroa_ii@barbarismcrit Even if, how does that make her worse than establishment dems? Especially those with far worse policy positions than she? Is she the person you say, or do we tell ourselves that because Twitter tells us our politics needs to be punitive and that our targets must b other leftists?
@AloreScott@Ri30573435@barbarismcrit I don't think I'm cheerleading for her. My tweets aren't really about AOC, and I think the tweet to which I'm replying is really quite ironic in the context of my tweets
@AloreScott@Ri30573435@barbarismcrit Your taxes do not pay for her healthcare, she makes $174,000 a year, and you still didn't read my tweets. If you really thought she were so useless, you wouldn't think about her. Maybe put the energy toward people actively profiting off genocide
@Yungtaepuna@barbarismcrit Do you think I actually think that? Did I say anything like that? Did you really just make the claim that making bad-faith personal reads of a politician's words on Twitter is activism? Lmao how can a tweet she won't even see hurt her feelings?
