Respectful Politics Thread (Let's Just See)

She is not part of his legal team, she is a poll watcher that claims she saw fraudulent activity. Sadly, Trump legal team seems to have gone for quantity over quality with their witnesses and sworn affidavits.

Clearly this woman doesn't actually understand what she saw and is spouting talking points.

Disney CEO Bob Iger was going to run for president in 2016, but thought better of it.
Now he’s lobbying for a spot in Biden’s cabinet.
I don’t think he’ll get much traction. He still received a bonus while over 30 thousand Disney employees were laid off.

Yeah, because this is exactly what the left needs to do: adopt a cult mentality centered around Biden just like the right did with Trump.

Um..... bro, have you seen half of Biden’s supporters on twitter?

Yeah, because this is exactly what the left needs to do: adopt a cult mentality centered around Biden just like the right did with Trump.

the democrats really don't learn anything do they....

Gotta love this too. AOC screeching about the evils of capitalism.
But she has her own online store, and for 58 bucks you can buy a sweatshirt to show how much you hate capitalism.
So follow me here. She can make a few bucks off how bad capitalism sucks.

Neat deal, ain’t it?

I mean, both parties are corrupt af to begin with so I’m not surprised the left is now just trying to stoop up to the Trump behavior level. Frankly they’re no different than when the conservatives were when they were having a laugh.

That comic doesn't actually address what FuzzyGobo said. Saying one should improve something they participate in is reasonable. Saying a system is evil by nature and then using that system for financial gain is hypocritical. AOC doesn't think capitalism needs reform, she thinks it should be abolished and replaced by socialism. Your comic conflates the two as if they are equal.

 

[Old Thunder]

The point of the comic is: AOC participates in the capitalist system because that’s what we have in America. That doesn’t mean she can’t argue for its removal. That’s why I posted the comic, because it’s easy to say, oh hey, you’re using what you say we should get rid of, isn’t that hypocritical? If all we have is that system though, of course you’re gonna use it, whether you like it or not.

I will say that there’s a discussion to be had about how socialists go about using capitalism — I.E. how much they charge for products — but in and of itself, AOC selling a t-shirt is not being hypocritical, at least in my view.
