4% of the votes are counted, and they call it? If that's not rigged, what would you call rigged?

Yes and No.

In this case, it was alleged that the Democrat 'establishment' was out to get AOC... now we see that they have no power behind their intent - or they never had that intent.

Either way, this is a lesson we need to pick up on and put to work for our end.

Edit: Forgot the redistricting thing viz. the Census.

I think the democrat party likes AOC. She has said some CRAZY things, but that got her a lot of attention. She may be a socialist or commie and WAY far left of older democrats, but she has a (D) next to her name, so they'll support her, even if they worry she could drive away votes.

She gets a LOT of support from places that are not her little district in NYC. She gets a lot of support online. The democrat party machine wants that.

If she moves a tiny bit more to the 'center' or whatever the hell the democrat party stands for these days, I can foresee her as a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.

Oh God, how scary would that be?

She’s completely manufactured from head to toe, like a pop star who can’t actually sing but is a wholly and carefully constructed walking talking brand. I mean, there’s literally video of her being hired by the Justice Democrats.

No no. Its approaching Russia levels of rigged. Its all a circus for the masses.

They stopped counting at 20,000 in a district of 500,000.

It's like they want to start riots or something.

It's Millennials. They worship communism from their capitalist property.

I’m part of the millennial generation and have a friend that completely believes in socialism. I can absolutely guarantee that he has never once picked up an economics book, I’d wager he doesn’t even a basic understanding of how markets function or how to read a supply-demand graph. I’d be willing to bet my life savings that I’ve read more pro-socialism books and journal publications than he has even heard of.

We got into a conversation on raising the minimum wage and I said how it would affect the employment market and he replied that it wouldn’t do what I was saying and my comments were “stupid”.

I’m studying economics in fucking grad school and am employed by my university’s department to tutor Microeconomics.... I’ve gone to conferences and have talked one on one with economists nationally known for their work in things like labor markets and industry organization.... I pretty goddamn confident in my interpretation of how raising the minimum wage would result in an employment shortage and an eventual increase in prices.

It's the daycare mentality.

A kid wants to play with his blocks at home, well he gets full reign to build his creations. If a kid wants to play with blocks at daycare, even though they sat dusty in a corner for months, now he has to share his creations and time with other kids, who don't do it like he does. It's learned behavior, and reinforced consistently.

Homeschooling is the answer.

Obviously! Treat labor as a commodity, then raise its price artificially. Of course there will be less jobs. Basic supply demand price relationship Degree not in economics.

Unfortunately there is no going back. The only way out is through. With 95% of college students not knowing that Thomas Jefferson was a president, there is no "going back". Once these kids parents die and there isn't anyone left to pay for their shit, they'll vote their entire inheritance away in taxes then vote themselves more money when they find themselves out of money and work.

There is going to be a civil war, a real one, in the next 50 years, I just don't see any way around it.

Hey there as a Millennial I hate the far left politics that's going on. My country Canada has a the worst leader in our history leading this country into the ground. We have enforced speech, attack our own industries and gives billions of dollars to global institutions that promote more leftist ideas. Plus our media has been bought out by the government so its just a cesspool of woke. Look up CBC.

From the Democrat/socialist POV - economic destruction is a PLUS though.

Their goal is to take down the entire system and profit from the ensuing chaos by seizing the reins of power.

Revolution. Russian revolution. Building a society where everyone has jobs and is happy only puts them FURTHER away from their goal.

So AOC has done well by them in defeating Amazon's job-creation plan.

Her district will disappear after the census.

Perhaps - it would explain why the establishment dems didn't really flex here. Then again, when does that redistricting happen?

How many votes did she get this time in the Primary?

7
TheRealTurdFurgeson 7 points ago +7 / -0

She tweeted out on the day of the election that THOUSANDS of people didn't receive their mail-in ballots on time and need to go to the polls.

Lol. https://twitter.com/RepAOC/status/1275206248586186753

Damn that is a shitty poster, the woman couldn't even look into the eyes of her voters while lying on paper. The lie being Democrat instead of Communist, which is what she is. That is one shitty ass politician.

The "looking away into the future" pose is the hallmark of Soviet/Socialist propaganda posters

3
RegularReplacement 3 points ago +3 / -0

Yeah, but those were looks to the upper corners of the poster. The idea was up and into the future and not the "up and to the side because I need to aim low for success"

It would've been better if she had a few "workers" in the background with a hammer, a sickle, and a red flag looking off into the distance with her, lol

She won from mail in ballots and voter fraud. plain and simple.

Something like 1% of the district voted in the primary.

If we wanted her gone, the GOP would have needed to get the 20% Republicans in her district to register Dem and primary her. If even 10% of Republicans voted in the Dem primary she would be gone - but that takes a lot more organization than GOP wants to invest into a shitstain district against someone they probably see as an overall benefit to their cause.

AOC is probably going to push more voters towards GOP than she pulls independents towards Dems.

Her district must have a lot of ‘citizens’ who don’t speak English to make it worth putting Spanish on the poster, no?

4
sagebrushfire 4 points ago +4 / -0

It’s almost 65% Hispanic. Another district where it will soon be impossible to speak English because you’ll just receive stares of, “No sé.”

Her last name is the same as a colonizer and murderer of indigenous peoples. Highly problematic.

They love her. These people are dumber than bricks. Anyone who thought she was going to lose is crazy. These people are going to vote en masse for a candidate who is riddled with dementia. If you think this is a cakewalk come November, you're sadly mistaken. This country is circling the drain and it will take the effort of ever red blooded American to save it by voting against the democrats. Every one. Down ballot. I don't care how much you hate the republican. You cannot vote for a single Democrat. You cannot leave a box blank.

Here's a fun question to play with:

How did the CCP coordinate AOC's messaging w/ their activities on their TikTok platform?

Idiots think that Amazon still opening there with a much much smaller footprint is a win for them.

With voters like that, she did Amazon a favor...

She is the epitome of Trailer Trash Goes to DC: The movie. Or something to that effect.

They probably could primary her if not for absentee ballots and counting ballots weeks later.
