This is about AOC losing her bid for the Oversight committee to a geriatric Dem lifer. Sure she has systematically shredded any last bit of credibility with her triangulation, but hey, at least all the 5D polítical chess is paying off! She's changing the system from the inside! It's working this time!
Girl, you abandoned any pretense of doing working-class mass politics when you decided to do insider politics! Why are you tweeting like Bernie Sanders circa 2012? There's no we! There's no mass movement behind you! It's just NYC DSA and some Warren libs (but I repeat myself)
That was directed at my comment and I don't mind it because I assume it wasn't meant as a "you are a man" but in the way some people will say, for example, "maaaan, I don't know about that."
I don't know enough about linguistics to say for certain wether that excuses it or not, but I didn't take it as being gendered. Had they previously used "dude" as well, then I would assume they were gendering me.
I take it as being gendered. Had it been "maaaan, I don't know about that" I would be more willing to disregard it
I can see where you're coming from, especially when it's someone who's throwing out slurs and insults then it's pretty fair to assume ill intent.
