Also, it's a little weird that some people feel the need to vigorously defend her against criticisms like "this was tacky and performative". the closest analogy that currently comes to mind is Bagism, which basically amounted to John Lennon and Yoko Ono getting married in a bag so no one would know what they looked like. it's not activism; it's performance art. (and of course the entire premise was moot to begin with because everyone already knew what they looked like) --- peanut butter and dick <cite>averagejoel posted [p:958076524] in AOC addres...
