Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says the nation’s “weird American Dream mythology” needs to change — particularly in the minds of “cisgendered” and poor white citizens.
The rising Democratic Party lawmaker from New York told the Intercept’s “Deconstructed” podcast this week that poor white people need to accept that they “benefit” from their skin color, and more so if they identify as their birth sex.
“I find the solutions for white communities to be very painful because it’s very painful for a community to understand and have to go through this — like, you can be — the idea that you can be poor and benefit from the color of your skin does not compute for a lot of people,” she said Monday. “And going through that realization is very painful or even just economically for people that were born with silver spoons. It’s very painful to admit that you had advantages.”
The lawmaker then pivoted to gender politics and the “really hard” decision for Americans to admit “some privilege … of some type.” “I’m a cisgendered woman,” she said. “I will never know the trauma of feeling like I’m not born in the right body. And that is a privilege that I have, no matter how poor my family was when I was born...

[ Our side can argue history and logic, but those arguments fall on deaf ears ]
I can confirm their ears are deaf. I’ve talked to dozens and maybe changed the minds of about 1-3. It’s incredible and scary to witness in real-time.
And if you’re all of those plus MALE, you probably should be hunted down and at least castrated, if not out-right aborted in a 4th trimester procedure!!
“This is not going to end well. Our side can argue history and logic...”
We are far, far beyond arguments...no one will convince anyone of anything with arguments. The brainwashed in the population will not ever change their belief system.
All that is possible is a nasty and brutal divorce...or complete subjugation to the mentally deranged. Those are the only options left.
Alexandria Occasional-Kotex wants you to feel bad because you don’t feel worse.
Sorry, babe. I go around feeling good about who I am.
Now get me another beer.
This chick is absolutely nuts. Certified insane.
I totally embrace my white privilege.
I think Nanzi Pelosi has a secret body/mind transfer machine and is slowly taking over AOC’s mind and body.
In a room full of crazy people the sane man looks like the lunatic.
This is what you get with unchecked liberal socialism.
The dialectic demands more and more radical change, and so what they keep doing is going more and more insane.
I mean, they rip on us for taking their arguments to the extreme, sayingmit wont ever get to that point.
Now they are actually doing it themselves and demanding it be done.
You cant let crazy insane take over because they will destroy the sane folks.
We’ve let the cancer here fester far too long out of kindness, weakness, hoping they would see their errors. Now its time to purge it out. Otherwise we’re all dead.

Honestly, I'm fairly concerned with how all of this is going to play out.
Case in point: Some fairly prominent national Dems are now signing onto AOC's "Green New Deal," which explicitly calls for an examination into reparations. Reparations! I cannot believe that's even part of any consideration at all, let alone an element of a "serious" national debate. That alone would lead to blood in the streets.
Every Dem who signs this New Green Deal has to be forced to answer the reparations portion of the "deal" directly.
LOL, love that skit.
Alexandria Optically-Cock-eyed?
It’s a good one.
I do believe this is one of my favorites from the classics (there are several, of course)

like, she seems totally, like, out of her mind
They never ever think their assumptions about white people, may be racist. Never.
They are the new racists. The minority racists. The race baiting racists. The fake hate crime racists.
If we don’t stop them, we’re not going to have a country left.

Our biggest problem is the Bush League Republicans assisting them in the importation of fraudulently documented foreigners.
There is a kernel of truth to what she says. She was lucky enough to be born with genes that caused her to have an attractive figure, and a face that didn't detract too much from her overall appearance. But I doubt she really is willing to admit that much of what she has achieved in life is due solely to her appearance, and not her intellect.
She will never know the struggle other people have to achieve based on what they do and think, not what they look like.
I think this is her biggest mistake. Any good Communist revolution in this country will have to keep poor whites onboard, and giving them condescending brow-beatings over their lack of melanin will only serve to alienate them.
Worst flub she’s had by far.
