El Chisme

I haven't seen anyone here post about this yet, but some online leftists picked up on a little piece of AOC's history that has gone under everyone's radar until recently; after her graduation in 2011 but before her ascendency to Congress in 2018, she used to work for a venture capitalist firm called GAGEis (also known as Gage Strategies) owned by 2 Israeli-Americans where she actively engaged in and promoted entrepreneurial activities.

While under this tutelage, she also founded HER OWN ENTERPRISE called the Brook Avenue Press, which according to AOC's biography in Boston University that is still publicly available, is "a social enterprise dedicated to providing relevant educational products to children and parents in urban areas.”. I'll let you guys decide what the "educational products" entails.

The Times of Israel actually wrote an article about this back in 2020 as well.

Neither of these career positions are mentioned in AOC's official biography in the US House of Representatives website.

Let this be the final nail in the coffin for AOC's "leftist" veneer, and a lesson to all of you here that any Democrat that ever tries to pose as a "Democratic Socialist", that fights for the working people, should be viewed with EXTREME scepticism and not the naive optimism that many on this site and its predecessor subreddit have perpetuated for years. Zohran Mamdani included.

calling anti zionists Nazis is a vibe

Lol she called Rashida Talib a neo nazi

I am not fascist! I know they swapped those voting records! I knew it was a NO vote. One after October 7th. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn't prove it. They – they covered their tracks, they got those idiots at twitter to lie for them. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? They've done worse. That election! Are you telling me that Trump just happens to win like that? No! They orchestrated it! Tankies! They defended a terrorist group! And I saved them! And I shouldn't have. I took them into my own campaign! What was I thinking? They'll never change. They'll never change! Ever since they were literate, always the same! Couldn't keep their hands out of the palestine movement! But not our tankies! Couldn't be precious tankies! Stealing them blind! And They get to be a movement!? What a sick joke! I should've stopped them when I had the chance! And you – you have to stop him! You-

with allies like these, who needs enemies?

im just buying them the gun. its not my fault if they shoot you with it.

Once again, the supposedly "good guys and girls" of the American empire are showing they are all 100% in accord with all the rest and any negotiation is impossible.

AOC about to be dropping “tankie” and explaining why “the left” must embrace rationality and the center soon.

The whole debacle shows how she just doesn't have the juice for this. She voted against the amendment to remove Israeli military funding, essentially saying that funding should stay in the bill. Then she votes against the bill writ-large, essentially voting against the funding she voted to keep. She wants to play this 9-D chess and is then shocked when people are, in her mind, easily misinformed or misled by bad actors. Doesn't inspire confidence even from a politicsball perspective, let alone a leftist one.

Good to see that she's borrowing from Israel's playbook and calling everyone opposed to genocide "nazis." I'm sure there'll be 0 blowback from watering down terms like "nazi" and "anti-Semite" this much.

besides that shes literally saying she wishes to supply the iron dome which is not only technically military funding but also military funding as the layperson would understand it there is a very simple concept that in doing so you are enabling the genocide by providing material aid to israel which puts them in a better strategic position to carry out the genocide jfc

She is a sitting US congresswoman posting like I was at 14 in middle school.

Almost as pathetic as anything posts

People are saying I shit my pants, but in fact I failed to prevent myself from shitting my pants. there is a difference.

Lol what a pathetic attempt at misdirection. We know exactly what you did, and now you're calling your colleges Nazis, not beating the fascist allegations kid.

How long till she posts next to a mass grave?

step one: misrepresent people dragging you for not voting for a reduction in defense spending for israel, saying they are lying by claiming you "voted for military funding" a thing they did not claim you did

step two: "attach receipts" as proof that you didn't do the thing that they didn't say you did. coincidentally, this proof (your nay vote on the mtg amendment) is the thing you are being dragged for. neat trick!

step three: call 'somebody' a neo-nazi. it isn't clear who. mtg? your critics? the left? people in the comments will ask

end result: twenty feet deeper into the weeds

Millennial politics is just going to sound like obscure YouTuber/twitch drama thread isn’t it?

I voted no, which clearly means I didn't vote for military spending

She should just stop, this shit is embarrassing.

so the whole bill including iron dome was bad, but excluding iron dome from bad bill is also bad, therefore pure iron dome is good?

This is some John Kerry "actually I voted for it before I voted against it" shit

Is she claiming she voted no for MTGs amendment to the DoD budget but also voted no to the budget as a whole?
