Tweeto

This is the tweet that started it

I dont really get the strategy here, Sean O’Brien is a white supremacist yea, but the teamster presidential poll shows most of its members want trump over Kamala, the leadership deciding not to back any candidate its good for the dems since if they back anyone it would be trump

Anyways

AOC is doing what the unions wanted

Damn it I was trying to sneak in here and say that fuck

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

Do you disagree?

The dumbest part is it really doesn’t matter. Union endorsements don’t move votes like it used to, and if the Teamsters leadership endorsed Kamala in spite of the member votes it would’ve made her support look artificial. Best to just shut up about it.

Half the Teamsters are voting for Trump no matter what the union says. They think of the union as a guys' club to complain about your boss and grill with your bros.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

That is not what a union has become. And literally why the dumbest union members vote for trump.

So glad our politicians are just as Twitter obsessed as our worst chuds

yeah there is no more "very online" anymore

there is only this and an increasingly shrinking grillman

This is why I am taking longer and longer breaks from the Net, it's making me lose itstalin-stressed

They are basically influencers and their rabid supporters are parasocials creatures.

This is like if you are worshipping your financial adviser after they negotiate you a renewal of mortgage with a 2% increase in interest

everything is a fandom now

when the DNC runs influencers’ workshop.

badeline-disgust forgot all about that

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 month ago

You gotta respect her walking up to a gun fight with no bullets. Like, yeah, tell me about the history of strong support of labor from the DNC. She is just so excited to trip over her dick on this one.

Aoc went from saying Kamala shouldn’t be president to defending her honor against Jill Stein and Teamsters.

She hasn’t been the same since Elon Musk ratioed her.

She would support Hitler if he ran as a democrat

He's the lesser evil compared to Stalin tbf /s

She's really an attack dog for centrist Democrats now huh

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

No one is forcing her to do this either. Total spineless climber.

She's getting her bona fides ready for AOC for US Senate 2028.

Can't wait for good-morning, AyyyyyOC edition in like 50 years or whatever

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

in like 50 years or whatever

If she were to run and win in 2028 - she'd have a name change befitting her station. And Senator Ocasio-Cortez would already be on her way to being the yet another Senator Neo-Lib saying stuff like Medicare for All is "unrealistic".

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

she's also tweeting against chris cuomo's enthusiasm for terror against children. we're not really in it for consistency with anyone clown enough to think that they can do anything with the levers of power but push the throttle a little further out. starting to think that all public officials should just be banned from all social media.

Picking a fight with one of the only famous and functioning unions in the US. Smart.
