That quote has been floating around since the Cold War, long before AOC was old enough to form a political opinion, let alone deliver someone else's recycled anti-communist one-liner.

This is the laziest genre of political argument: find a quote that flatters your priors, do absolutely no verification, and mash "share" like you've uncovered buried truth. The internet remains an absolute miracle for people who want to be wrong with confidence.

If the real case were stronger, it wouldn't need forged dialogue.
Feel that?? The fun just left the room.

But, thanks for your contribution Valued Poster.

If you're going to hate someone, at least have the decency to hate them for something they actually said. Making things up doesn't strengthen the argument; it just advertises that the real material wasn't good enough.

Well…that was quick. Two responses from two Valued Posters…within minutes.

Guess I hit a nerve.



I should have been clearer with my response. AOC is obviously capable of making a political opinion, her problem is, her opinions make zero sense. Especially given her educational background. She’s an idiot and always will be.

Unfortunately, the folks that continue to vote her in have to sleep in the bed they made. Her district in Queens is in shambles and is a complete f’ing mess. Maybe if she spent more time actually representing her constituency, rather than flying around in first class (with a multi-millionaire…Bernie Sanders) on the so called “fight oligarchy” tour she could actually do something for her fans from her district.

And no, I’m not a “Valued Poster”, I actually contribute to the site with reviews of the ladies rather than spending hours upon hours every day in the Sandbox and the National Political Forum.
