she strikes me as more similar to a Bernie Sanders-style socdem than an actual leftist

You know thats the same thing as a socialist or communist to those kinds of people right.

Conservative media says shes bad and mass prints negative stories about her to tile up the redhats.

objectively, it is not the same thing. Not even close. I don't particularly care what "those kinds of people" think

However, I do find it amusing that people were calling obama a communist while he was president. They're gonna lose their minds when they see an actual communist being politically active

It's not, but look at someone like Proudclad on here and then realize there's people even dumber out in the US still.

I'm still trying to figure out if the right still likes Sarah Palin or not.

The right is in the process of eating itself at the moment

I don't think any of them know what they like

The Sarah Palin of the Left need to calm down and realize the world doesn't revolve around her. Will she take this advice? Of course she won't, she's a progressive.

where has she suggested that the world revolves around her?

Conservatives make news when she passes gas. The conservative world does revolve around her by no fault of her own.

They're trying to turn her into the next left wing boogeyman. Nancy Pelosi won't be around forever so they have to set their sites on the new blood.

The fuck is wrong with you people?

Anybody who works busts their ass. We don't need some self-important, elitist, who has a real job for the first time in her life telling us how hard it is. She needs to sit her ass down and recognize that this happens everyday to anybody with a job. The Sarah Palin of the Left is out of touch with the general populace, as we all now know.

She posted this on Instagram. Instead of getting your panties in a twist how about you just not go to her Instagram.

So what? I'm taking all of next week off. I have the vacation hours saved up. The only people who don't complain about overworking themselves are the people who can't avoid it.


Did you just start your job?


No, but read post #45. It's a more applicable anecdote.

"We live in a culture where that kind of lifestyle is subtly celebrated as 'working hard,'" she wrote. "But I will be the first to tell you it?s NOT CUTE and makes your life harder on the other end (you wake up worse, energy all over the place, etc)"

Awwwww that sounds rough


Taking a week off? She hasn?t even began duties yet. You?re pretty much mad that she isn?t ?working? for free. She couldn?t work right now even if she wanted to.

But hey, you?re obviously jealous because a brown woman is having success, and she didn?t even have to her thousands of dollars in debt and lose her youth in the process too like certain female doctors from CE.

Don?t get me wrong, I actually dislike Ocasio, and I think she is a nut job, but I am quite taken aback with the amount of hate that the GOP has against her.

Where is all of the complaining about 45?s multiple trips to his properties to play golf, his multiple hours of ?executive time m? a day and stuff like that?

Why are you so hateful towards an Asian-American working hard to achieve the white man's dream of working hard to become a doctor? There's already proof that colleges are discriminating against those of Asian heritage, so to downplay her success is pretty low.

Living up to her role as a modern day liberal. Do very little work, take a large stretch of time off, and still have the gall to feel entitled to the benefits of those who actually work hard. Translation: the left encourages laziness.


Dude look dumb elsewhere lol.

That's the best comeback you got? Lazy and uninspired.


What's the benefit to working harder than you really need to? Unless you consider it a benefit to being taken advantage of by having set too high of a bar for yourself.

The right will latch onto anything they feel was a witty accomplishment.

I just wish one of em would explain it

I've seen righties say "Occasional Cortex" elsewhere and I just wanna know like what they think they're saying with it


The first time I saw it (topic made by Awesome), I was wholeheartedly convinced he posted on his phone and was autocorrected and then couldn't edit it because can't edit topic titles, and that he ignored callouts about it oh of embarrassment. The sad and pathetic possibility that he actually thought of it and believed it to be clever or witty (or that someone else did and he just went npc with it) didn't occur to me until I saw it a few more time.

Calling you Doom_Fart would be more original and clever in all honesty lol and that's pretty no-effort.

I don't. My job is mostly low stress, easy and comfortable. I busted my ass at a previous job and wouldn't do so again if I didn't have to. I don't value that mentality at all... and I resented the expectations that people above me had, and even moreso the indoctrination I was expected to buy into. I'm not expendable or replaceable, because people who would replace me have an understanding that it's not impossible for me to make them seriously regret doing so. That's what kept me around for as long as I was at the previous job, and in spite of that, things got rougher for them after I left and I would wager they regretted not trying to keep me around. They took me for granted and struggled when I bailed for a better opportunity.

Gets even worse when you realize she's taking a break... during Christmas time, of a job she hasn't even started yet. It's literally "I've been busting my ass to get this job, got this job, and now am going to relax during Christmas before I start this very stressful job in a few weeks."

There are a lot of people really desperate to find some left wing equivalent to Trump, and willing to make a lot of stretches to get there.


To be fair, there are a LOT of parallels between her and Trump. She isn't in office yet, is she; but she is showing a lot of similarities between herself and Trump.

People say this but never have any substantial or convincing examples of how she's "like Trump"

If she was so much like Trump, wouldn't conservatives have a hard on for her?

Since when? Every time the government cant come up with a budget they dont keep working for free lol, they take that time off too
