The GOP prefers politicians who use terms like "peach tree dish" and "gazpacho police." They don't understand someone who is actually smart and has a real vocabulary.
“Liberals and their big words”. Trump claims through unadorned speech that he “has all the best words”. Using a lexicon “big words” means that person is well educated and well read. That is a good thing.
You need a modification to Hanson’s razor. That’s only true if all things given are equal. They’re not. These stupid people are being manipulated in their stupidity by forces composed entirely of malice. So stupid people being controlled by malicious forces are the exception to Hanlon’s razor.
Hi, AOC. I found some pictures of
the people Trump is going to use
to perform ideological and ethnic cleansing.Everything’s right out
in the open.
Nothing’s being hidden.
We figure we can take out at least a few of these Nazis before they
kill us. That’s our hope, anyhow.
Well, this is meant to start the conversation wether it's better to ignore the intention when a practical reason will get in the way long before you can prove that bad intentions are at work. Though sometimes it's easier to prove bad intentions before stupidity gets in the way when subject to a lie.
AOC is the perfect daughter-in-law we all dream about; a smart, young, beautifully articulated woman with a killer smile and a weaponized sense of repartee. My sons are a disappointment 😞
What? …it’s pretty common to refer to a former president as “President ____”, especially when you are referring to acts they did as president. I don’t know what the house rules are regarding it, but I HIGHLY doubt it’s a sign she’s becoming centrist…
The effort those dimwits went to in order to convince their even stupider followers that AOC is dumb has been astounding to watch. I mean, you don't have to know her, just listen to her speak a single time and you see she's sharp as a tack. If you can't tell that, YOU are the one who's dumb.
They train their followers with disinformation early on, making hard (if not impossible) for them to change their opinion of her later. They assume she will seek higher office, and this pre-work pays off down the road.
Since our government is based on checks and balances...
Due to Trump stuffing the supreme court, we now need a check/balance on the supreme court. How would we go about that???? Is it even possible?
They may have cut off their own noses, but the motive was pure malice. Here's my cool Alameda County 2020 Census tote. We were ready to count unhoused people at our shower program and in the encampments, but T and Wilbur Ross cancelled our plans by making an address necessary to be counted.
"At least two-thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity: idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious or political ideas".
A Huxley
Stupid is as stupid does - But malicious behavoir, wrapped in a blanket of ignorance, is still malicious (threatening and hurtful). As stupid as it may sound, or as haphazard it may feel, their strategy is dedicated.
Noble Cause Corruption is corruption caused by the adherence to a teleological ethical system, suggesting that people will use unethical or illegal means to attain desirable goals:
1] a result which appears to benefit the greater good. Where traditional corruption is defined by personal gain
[2] noble cause corruption forms when someone is convinced of their righteousness and WILL DO ANYTHING WITHIN THEIR POWER to achieve the desired result (stupidly or not).
She’s very talented and charismatic, has exemplary leadership qualities, but I’d like some foreign relations experience in her portfolio before she’d take on a run for the White House.
She would be a great president. But the bottom line is can she win? Pete Buttigieg would be a great president, but can he win? Unfortunately, our country just can’t handle a woman or a gay man.
I hear you (sigh). We have a very deep bench if our backward country could just manage to bring itself into the 21st century. Shapiro is Jewish. AOC, Kamala, Whitmer are women. Moore and Jeffries are black. Maybe they could handle Beshear?
*ahem* FUCK ISRAEL as long as the fascists in Likud are in control of it. Netanyahu is a loathsome criminal and everyone in Likud should be behind bars for the genocide they have conducted. Just like how everyone in the Bush admin should be in prison for the Iraq genocide. Also fuck IRGC.
Far-right, ultranationalist authoritarians characterized by centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, suppresion of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation/Ur-race, and strong regimentation of society/economy.
I agree that she is immensely talented, leans the right way ideologically and is the kind of person we need to meet the moment. That said, there’s still a lot of misogyny out there and a lot of fear mongering re democratic socialism. She will have to navigate those & so far she’s shown adeptness
That’s one of my fears. Unless the whole party moved leftward and it gets more normalized. I mean look what happened at the right. But don’t know if that’s in the cards, honestly.
I fully agree. Get those corporate consultants and Super PAC $$$ as far away as possible. I hope she is the one. She is the most talented and authentic one there is. & a new gen waiting in the wings w/ her, Garcia, Crockett. I hope they don’t get stifled and get the chance to lead the way
Is there a collary "never ascribe to malice what can be attributed to avarice"? I feel like it may more accurately describe the other half the Right at the moment.
I feel like it’s about 30% mad true believers (malice—the Seven Mountains creeps and the like) and 70% venal grifters (the avarice coalition—who are also spineless in the face of Trumpy retribution). All of them awful beyond words.
If I were potus & lied to everyone by telling them they can't leave the solar system or a dragon will eat them while because i want to trap them here it will take longer for people to get there & learn how dumb it is before they learn my intentions? It could go either way when subject to lies.
I like checking for ignorance first. Then move on to one or both of unteachable or malicious. Sometimes you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it smart.
What happens when it's both malicious and stupid? America already touched the stove in 2016 now it's grabbing it whole handed and will still cry when it's burned in 2028.
This woman running for higher office is every single right winger's worst nightmare. Hell, most Democratic donors worst nightmare too for that matter. Too bad normie Dem voters are too clueless to understand that.
Hanlon's Razor is one of mantra's I've held for over two decades. It helps when dealing with being frustrated with someone's espoused ideas or behaviour.
I think it works closely with the pseudo-quote of Einstein, "Two things are infinite, as far as we know – the universe and human stupidity."
Tulsi Gabbard is just a Russian tool. U.S $ will be useless. Follow the plot, the GOP willing ignorance, & bold arrogance. Americans are doomed & will be thown into poverty. Putin beat America with a 30 year campaign. Buy physical gold if you want to survive the next 10 years. It's now DOGE & Gold
DOGE is an opportunity to show MAGA base how dangerous it is to their own livlihood to have to billionaires destroy corporate accountability and the institutions Americans have fought and died for..the average worker will not see a dime from this destruction and workers rights will take a major hit
Ok Doc, would you also like a tutorial? Comparing MTG’s actions, voting against Womens’ Right of her on body. Or her titillating speech on Hunter Biden Porn in Congress with posters magnifying his penis. Or maybe her behavior, and that list is endless.
Your suggestion that my statement is sexists would imply that I making her less because of her gender. In reality, where you do not seem to live, my comment is based in fact as evidenced above, sis. 👌🖕🙀💅
Absolutely, my bad, you should be allowed to share memes about women who you don't like be ugly 'hags' because it's not sexist if you don't like them. But thank you for mansplaining sexism to me. Bro.
Yes AOC, that is exactly right. And a close ally is Occam's Razor: after all other possible explanations have been eliminated--regardless of how absurd, dumb or vicious--what remains is the explanation.
That's the Holmes Principle (once the imposdible has been eliminated, what remains, no matter how unlikely, is the truth). Occam's Razor is that the proposition requiring the fewest assumptiins is the most likely to be correct.
Why do we continue to try to make being dumb ok? It’s not going to be ok for a lot of people and soon we will realize that it hurts everyone! Just because your too dumb to know your in pain doesn’t lessen my pain! 😒😤
The bottom line is @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social must win 2028 full stop because that president will preside over the 2030 census. But, the Democrats shouldn't put another woman at the top of the ticket because white women are 0-2.
@aoc.bsky.social
They are right. We had 2 incredibly successful and qualified women at the top of the ticket and millions of democrats either stayed home, voted Trump or left it blank. It was unbelievable that a Democrat would rather have Trump than a very qualified woman. I’m still pissed off.
Would you (and maybe your followers too) be kind enough to share this so that we might convince Joe to do the right thing before he leaves the building?
If you know the story of the One Starfish, you'll know why we must act. ☮🌈💚

I don't wonder.
I'd be SHOCKED if she hadn't.
My head might explode.

With respect to Vice President Harris, her mistake wasn't being a woman, it was running to the Right politically that doomed her.
I thought it was Trump's PR motto
“A little from column A, a little from columnB.”
🤩😍
work in 1941 almost 39 years before Hanlon.
You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity
A voice of reason in a house of madness.
Like disapearing your pronouns on Insta less than 24hrs after losing an election thinking no one world notice? That kind of stupidity?
;/
I love when she says thought provoking things eloquently
Well done AOC, well done.
This is how leadership sounds.
This is what I want.
This.
I think it works closely with the pseudo-quote of Einstein, "Two things are infinite, as far as we know – the universe and human stupidity."
You’re assuming quite a bit that I only share memes on…
Bleached Blonde
Bad Built
Butch Body
Women
When I also go against KKK members lynching people.
Or the Proud Boys walking through Ohio with signs.
I’m sure there are some good people in there too, right?
Glad to see AOC is cool like that too 🙇🏼♂️
Voters: No No, the price of eggs.
Dems: Trump's tariffs will raise the price of eggs.
Voters: No no, it's almost WW III.
Dems: Are you kidding me? Is this all about nuclear blackmail?
Voters: We can be irrational far longer than you can be smart.
No one needs that stuff entering their body, and we should not spread illness.
Mad respect, indeed
