    So denigrating short men is going to help? She’s gonna win a lot of people over with that?

        Stop being a doomer troll. We all hate him for his politics, there’s literally no reason to give a shit about him otherwise

          I’m referring to the general public. The people that AOC would be speaking to. If his politics were enough to defeat him, then why is he currently the Deputy Chief of Staff?

          It is not doomerism, by the way, to think about your chess moves.

            First off it’s not a fucking game.

            Second, all she’s done is alienate a bunch of short dudes, a demo she’s probably not doing great with in the first place, and remind us that people will always see us that way regardless of anything else we do. No one cares about his height either and he’s not even that short if they did.

              Everything is a game. An argument with your father is a game. You balancing a delicious, spicy curry against the ulcer you might have in 5 years is a game. Being popular is absolutely a game.

              This is the bone I have to pick with you. You care more about maintaining your perfect little bubble than you do about winning.

              I’m not going to argue with you about your specific insecurities. I’m asking what political strategy would energize people?

              I don’t believe you have any ideas because you’ve never thought about crowdwork once.

                Winning what? She was speaking to her fucking echo chamber on tiktok. He wasn’t even there to hear it. It was just another empty fucking “gotcha” moment for her base to jack each other off over. It had no effect on his influence.

                I’m not going to argue with you about your specific insecurities. I’m asking what political strategy would energize people?

                Suggest ways to actually fight the shit the Trump administration is doing instead of just making snarky comments about them? Basically everything she said after the short comment was great. Make fun of his weird behaviors that he actually has a choice in. Call him insecure but don’t literally make up a flaw (he’s not short) so that you can then project little man syndrome onto him.

                I don’t believe you have any ideas because you’ve never thought about crowdwork once.

                I have done crowdwork, I didn’t have to resort to body shaming to get people energized.

                You’re not going to win anything by making fun of fascists, if that worked even a little bit then WW2 wouldn’t have happened

                  You literally could not be more wrong about this. Making fun and ridiculing this administration is exactly what we need to do. The publics perception will not shift unless this is done.

                  Also, you really need to check you knowledge of history. Fascism was not defeated by WWII.

                Your obvious compulsion to tell everyone about how you’re totally not insecure about your height actually gives the exact opposite impression, just fyi

                  Whatever. It’s Opposite Day everywhere a fucking magat exists. Miller and his midget, balding ilk have made the truth into a handicap.
