    I always wonder if AOC would garner less vitriol if she were less conventionally attractive. I don't want Vocel Police to get involved but it always seems to me as a passive observer of her that CHUDs seem uniquely upset by her (and other conventionally attractive leftists). Are people unable to parse the idea that phyiscally attractive folk can have views that challenge the status-quo? Is it because she isnt a dinosaur like everyone else in our goverment? Are people that thirsty/horny?

    Don't get me wrong the Capitalist Realism of this image isn't lost upon me, but I am always curious how the perception of left leaning people as "hippie", "colored hair SJWs", and/or "soy" has melted the conservative brain. It happens with AOC, Hasan Piker, all sorts of leftie online queerfolk too. It's strange to me that being hottie and being left leaning is some how worse than just being left leaning.

      Yes she would. Her being attractive + popular + the message on her dress - is what's driving the vitriol. There were literally 20 other elected officials at the gala - because it's a fundraiser for a non-profit museum in their city and they're invited for free. Her message on her dress is literally only good. That is, if you understand that she is - and always has been - a demsoc electoralist.

      The only people this will piss off are reactionary chuds and clout demon online leftists who haven't been in a social situation with more than 10 people since college.

        The message on her dress also defangs the “eat the rich” to merely “tax the rich” which is, not good.

          Omg, right? It accomplishes nothing, and only serves as catharsis for those who are still dying beneath capitalism.

          It is nowhere close to good. It is the rich having a laugh at our expense: “Allow them this meaningless gesture; rents are going up tomorrow to pay for more police.”

          Ugh.

        The dress is plenty awful on its own but as one of those terrible online people to your Left, what gets me going is the people dumb enough to think AOC is anything but an op and an obstacle to Socialism. This is just instance #367273 of her completely draining all radicalism from a movement and message and folding it into the Democratic Party.

        I could point to the thousand times she's voted to sanction enemies of the state, the thousand times she's voted for military budgets, the thousand times she has failed to use her and the "Squad's" leverage on crucial votes.

        I know that you guys think starving the global Proletariat is an acceptable price to get universal healthcare, but it's not acceptable and you'll never have healthcare.

        leftists who haven’t been in a social situation with more than 10 people since college.

        You say this like it isn't just a reasonable way to respond to the world we live in
