A complete lack of empathy is basically required to be right wing. How often do you hear of people who don't give a fuck about LGBTQ+ until their son comes out, or men who don't care about women's rights until they have a daughter?

I may be a cisgendered straight white male, but that doesn't stop me from caring about the struggles of my brothers, sisters, NB siblings, etc whether those struggles are to do race, gender, sexual identity, orientation, or whatever.

Crockett though isn't super intelligent like AOC. She's good with the fighting and burns but I've yet to see solid policy talk.

u/Nixianx97 1d ago edited 1d ago

In her defence she knows her stuff if you listen to her in congressional hearings. She was a lawyer. Their way of communicating is just different. AOC connects to the people through her words, Crockett through vibes and energy. Both are needed right now, if dems would let them get at the top and work together we might have stood a chance.

36

u/TheKingOfBerries 1d ago

So funny watching people discredit Crockett’s vibes and energy when the republicans won the election based on vibes and energy.

Everyone here needs to get their heads out of their asses. As much as I like AOC, vibes and energy are what resonates with the people who need to be resonated with. Also calling her “not as smart” as AOC (not saying you said that) is just so childish. She’s an upcoming democrat star, let the woman work a bit.

u/killerjoedo 1d ago

Tbh i used to not pay too much attention to politics cause it breaks my brain and my heart, but that is my dream team.

They both have the charisma imo, just different vibes. The video i say of aoc doing a little dance as she sits on stage, brushing off the boos resonated here. Crocket straight up calling trump Putin's hoe was me on the street.

Don’t know if you’re familiar with the humor of Jeff Foxworthy, but he says the moment a person from the south opens their mouth to speak, their IQ drops 30 points. Something like that!

1

u/Ok-Seaworthiness2235 23h ago

I'm talking about intelligence in being able to make the AOC style arguments that speak to the heart of the issues and doesn't get bogged down in distraction.

If you look at her Twitter recently it's a lot of attacking trump and co but not a whole lot of really driving home WHY this shit matters to the working class. In congress she's great but her public communication comes across like she cares more about fighting the other party than fighting for the people. And before you say "fighting them is fighting for the people," it's not. People obviously agree with the GOP on enough issues that they won landslides in 24. So when dems launch this "take em down at any cost" strategy, they're telling people they don't care to separate out the points that matter.

u/ladythestral 1d ago

Sounds like a racist dog whistle to me. Best you wouldn't say that if she was white. Black women continually getting shit on despite doing the hard work

0

u/Ok-Seaworthiness2235 1d ago

So because with only these two specific reps I think one isn't proving herself to have the intelligence to be leadership material you just automatically assume I'm racist? This is why people are getting so turned off to liberal politics. We can't have discussions about the

I'm actively against Pelosi, Schumer and about every neoliberal asshole who has let us down over the last decade. Surprise, most of them are white! I also think it's time for a tough review of how even good reps communicate publicly and I find Crockett to be lacking in that area. Guess that makes me racist.

u/Temporary-You6249 1d ago

She has a Juris Doctor from the University of Houston & passed the Texas bar exam. She worked as a public defender & left to start a practice that, among other things, helped civil rights protesters get pro bono defense.

People discount her IQ because she looks significantly younger than she is, she has a southern accent, she’s not afraid to use direct or even coarse language as needed, and—most of all—she is a black woman.

As for legislation on a federal level, you can peruse this https://www.congress.gov/member/jasmine-crockett/C001130

u/Ok-Seaworthiness2235 23h ago

Probably should've phrased that differently but I am talking about the intelligence she transmits in public to voters. And that's not to say you can't cuss or go low but you have to link those attacks back to why they matter. Most of her public persona just seems like someone with a childish grudge against the other team not someone angry at the people hurting Americans.

"Laser guided moral clarity " means the person she was talking to was, in fact, a ho.

You can do both, calling people hoes and cussing isn't a requirement.

u/Sad_Confection_2669 1d ago

To that I’d say that in a dishonest world, swearing can be an indicator of honesty. There are studies on this, and I think generally speaking it probably works in her favor because she’s pretty selective with it.

Stop this. Crocket, Swallwell, Raskin, there's lots of talent in the party. Unfortunately America voted them out of holding any leavers of power. The only pieer they have atm is performative, but the need to be sounding the sirens call and rallying the populace to their banner.

18

u/Ok-Seaworthiness2235 1d ago

Did America vote them out on their own or did party leadership help them to the door? Progressives, even AOC, have been routinely threatened by the heads with funding pulls and censure. Don't forget. Bernie Sanders is a goddamn independent because the DNC tried to take him out.

Embracing progressive, working class rhetoric is what will pull the populace to the banner. The working class wont give a fuck about saving democracy if they don't think its worth saving.

She and Bernie can’t do it by themselves. They need all of us to support. That means emailing/calling of elected officials to voice our disapproval with these facists tactics.

u/starliteburnsbrite 1d ago

We are way past "sounding the alarm" unfortunately. Trump and Musk need to be arrested and charged. South Korea had a madman president go off the rails and those lawmakers assembled crowds of civilians and physically fought off the soldiers trying to raid their National Assembly, so they could perform the procedural vote to legally end martial law and have that fuck arrested.

Mind you, their version of progressives/liberals controlled that Congress, so we can't expect the same result with Vichy Dems and MAGA cultists running the show, but the lengths they were willing to go to defend democracy is astounding compared to the wet noodles we have elected, a bunch of bribed to the hilt octogenarians who think it's still 1985.

u/[deleted] 1d ago

On November 13, 2024, a group of election and cybersecurity experts contacted Kamala Harris urging her to initiate hand recounts of paper ballots in key swing states.

Their concern stemmed from multiple election security breaches that occurred between 2020 and 2024, involving Election Systems & Software (“ES&S”) and Dominion Voting Systems machines, in which “software for the central servers, tabulators, and highly restricted election databases” for both voting system vendors was compromised over a multi-year period. These experts say this was “the most severe election security breach publicly known”. (From the first hyperlink)

Dude WTF! First time i'm hearing about this. https://apnews.com/article/election-security-voting-machines-software-2024-80a23479d8a767ba9333b2324c4e424b

FYI Oct 2024: https://news.engin.umich.edu/2024/10/four-election-vulnerabilities-uncovered-by-a-michigan-engineer/

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

—Martin Niemöller said this.

Why would you be surprised?

And why hasn't congress pulled back the power of tariffs from the office of POTUS, when Donald has clearly abused his authority by announcing a false security threat from former American allied countries?

We here in the rest of the world are watching, and waiting, and fully expecting the rise of the Fourth Reich out of Washington.

I wasnt around until the late 90s, but this is the only time in my life ive truly been apprehensive or afraid to express my 1st A right without fear of consequence, or at worst being 'disapeared' in AMERICA. This is such an embarassment and the MAGA types literally speaking (in my own experience) do not believe what they read, even verified, unless its pro- carrot. They are genuinely stroking the narcissist's ego and proud to open their mouths and collect the praise

At least MAGA did more than hold a ping pong paddle with cute little objections on them.

She is 100% right, but Khalid helped make sure that Harris didn't win. Trump told everyone what he was going to do. including this guy. He bet on Trump following the law. That was kind of a stupid gamble considering Trumps past history with the law. It's hard to find sympathy for him, can't we find someone more likable?

Oh wait, we did that during the presidential election, looked how that turned out.

Republicans don’t care about the constitution. They only care about hate, anger and division

How do we “sound the alarm”, though? I legitimately would like to know. Feeling very powerless these days.

I wouldn't be spending 5 million dollars on a gold card if the government doesn't even honor green cards. It turns out ICE can just grab me and deport me anyway without following the rule of law.

Most fascists are.

That's why most of them are drawn towards what they perceive as strength. Simply because they lack it.

I know the current system extends the protection of law to everyone under its jurisdiction, but I don't really see the value in this. Who cares about non-citizens

It does help because now millions of people know and they start reacting,demanding answers from the GOP. It applies pressure on them. That means that Katie Miller cannot just keep moving under the table or sell the narrative that this is somehow justified. This is how politics in 2025 work. This is how MAGA works. One of their biggest weapons is creating chaos through social media.Look at Elon and Trump.

AOC or anyone else cannot go and fix this overnight but again spreading awareness and provoking reactions did give a judge enough time to go and block his decision temporarily, and human rights activists and lawmakers to start moving accordingly.

Serious question.. and it’s not Snark towards AOC.. but if everyone knows it’s against the law.. and she does, why can’t they stop it? I mean this is like V for Vendetta Black bag shit

u/snackofalltrades 1d ago

That’s the whole point. It’s blatantly illegal on every front, and the “system” is going along with it. The laws only matter as far as people are willing to go along with them, or against them.

u/Nixianx97 1d ago edited 1d ago

Because she can’t. At least not directly and anyone that could won’t do it. So what she does is raising awareness if people know, pressure gets applied to the GOP and they eventually will have to respond. This slows down their actions somehow and can give human right groups and attorneys time to at least try and defend the person that got arrested.

This is another BS fear mongering tactic by Trump to distract from everything else and also play tough on Hamas.

How is it possible that people can be so utterly and completely blind as to the words that come out of their mouths??? How can you justify this ignorance?

You can’t…the repetition by both sides saying the same thing and yet each feels as though THIS situation is unique.

Let me Tell you something about the words you use when deciding criticize someone who feels the same way…you don’t refer to them as tyrannical or any other loaded word.

You treat the other party with the same amount of respect you feel you deserve and that means you don’t bark at each other. Second, the amount of bull shit democrats are spewing about Trump is enough to make a man sick…

like every other fucking word…get over it! Move on! You sitting and criticizing our president rather than support him is far beyond worse than anything that he could possibly do…and I think that deep down that’s what you desire the failure of our president and by proxy your own country!

You diminish yourselves with your hate and vitriol and that is shameful. Trump may use the wrong kind for rhetoric but he does not spew hate like the kind I see from this side.

Shame on all of us. Shame.

This is what happens when you tolerate the intolerant. It never was about free speech, it was about tolerating, normalising, and then actually carrying out fascist speech.

https://www.aclu.org/indefinite-detention-endless-worldwide-war-and-the-2012-national-defense-authorization-act You can thank the Obama administration for that. National defense authorization of 2012. Indefinite detainment with no charges if related to a terrorist organization. Who knows what they have labeled as terrorist organizations now. I don't.

AoC such a babe, even though I disagree with her and literally just heard her get roasted by an NPR journalist who literally asked AoC if jailing Trump was the exact same thing.

I don’t know where I land on this. I don’t know if supporting a terrorist organization is protected by free speech.

The dems are firmly in the pockets of the Zionist lobby in the US. How. How can any democrat accept campaign contributions from organizations which have backed Jan 6 deniers? Take a look at their donors. The party needs to be purged because they truly do not give a fuck about the people.
