AOC thinks crime surge in NYC is due to people who need to shoplift some bread

[YE]

I’m going to tentatively guess without giving the links in the OP in the given thread that AOC is at least somewhat wrong here, but this thread is such an unbelievable dumpster fire and as usual the reaction from the right and even parts of the left is being overblown.

She's the definition of privilege in this country. Only a privileged woman could get away with a statement this moronic

No, I think that definition is reserved for any so-called libertarian who doesn't aggressively oppose mass incarceration.

Ahh yes, because I'm not stupid enough to blame the high crime hikes in inner city communities, a place you've never been and aoc clearly doesn't care to visit atm, on corona and a lack of food, I must support mass incarceration. Great reasoning.

AOC lives in the Bronx when she isn't in Washington DC. Only reason she might not visit is COVID quarantining.

Forget it Deady, you're out of your element.

[free my dawg]

Guys, the point of the AOC-King comparison is that Steve King was an embarrassment to his party who eventually got beat in a primary.  That's all there is to it.  The backup comparison would be Dana Rohrabacher.

Matt Gaetz and Louis Gohmert are also embarrassing but didn't lose their primaries.

Alan Grayson is another apt comparison.

Alan Grayson didn't lose his primary because of his political views or his tendency to shoot from the hip. He lost his primary because he's a wifebeating piece of ****. That's also an offensively bad comparison.

(FTR, I have no qualms with the Rohrabacher comparison, considering you're not comparing someone who made a statement you disagree with to human garbage)

Well surely she had time to visit the  streets since she was blowing bubbles in new york last week

Shame upon you for having a reflexive and masturbatory obsession with painting your ideological opponent as endorsing a position he does not himself take.

dude, the red avatars here have competitions to see who can do this more often (it's the only thing that would make any sense considering how often it happens)

She... probably did have time and very possibly did spend time in public. You're trying to paint some sort of negative picture with a brush and canvas but no paint, amigo.

One got primaried and once is a likely future POTUS so I don't see that as a good comparison.

I look forward to her winning a single primary by 1%, having to listen to weeks of her being referred to as the nominee and being ordered to "bend the knee, smoothbrain", and then watching her get BTFO'd in forty states by Biden's VP.

I think what you mean is you've been drinking too much of your own Kool-Aid about some really inaccurate stereotype about liberals being upper middle class professionals who don't "get it", unlike you gritty 'down' libertarian types who know what inner city residents truly want and need are (checks notes) cutting upper income tax rates and slashing Public Services.

Once again, conservatives Dodge the all too touchy for them point that on most issues inner city residence are every bit as liberal as the latte liberals conservatives like to strawman. Sure, you'll probably find someone weaker support for gay and trans rights compared at least two other Democrats who are white, but still more supportive than the nation as a whole.

On this particular issue, go right ahead into the inner city sometime, dude, and try to argue contrary to what AOC is. See just how much of a "white liberal" position the issue of mass over incarceration is in the Inner City..

Lol! I literally can't believe you actually opposed an attack on America's vastly disproportionate incarceration rate, first as a supposed libertarian, and then with the audacity for supposedly speaking for "the inner city". Lololol.

I don't put you on ignore because you are comedy gold every time you post.

You have a tendency to bring up my libertarian beliefs when they are completely irrelevant. I never once implied libertarians "get it". In fact, I'd argue most don't. They are mostly like you white liberals: sheltered and completely detached from inner cities.


"Once again, conservatives Dodge the all too touchy for them point that on most issues inner city residence are every bit as liberal as the latte liberals conservatives like to strawman."

This isn't really true at all and only furthers my point.

"On this particular issue, go right ahead into the inner city sometime, dude, and try to argue contrary to what AOC is. See just how much of a "white liberal" position the issue of mass over incarceration is in the Inner City.."

I like how you bring up mass incarceration in a thread about higher crime rates due to the war on police virtue signaling instead implementing police reform. Another tactic you lefties love using: completely side-stepping the issue and trying to claim the moral high ground. The irony of this is libertarians have been more critical on police than the left and have been more willing to actually restrict the ability of the police. But go on with your abolish the police because of mass incarceration. Such a strong selling point. That's totally what inner cities want right?

Find one post. One single solitary post where is ever called for abolishing the police. You really need to learn what you're talking about, just once.

And yes. Even though I oppose outright abolishing the police is only a handful of extremists actually support - - as opposed to full-scale police reform and effectively neutering police Union involvement / representation-- I'm not so clueless as to deny that do I disagree with is in fact very popular in the Inner City right now. Any attempt by you to deny that is, somehow, even more clueless than everything you posted them. But hey, go for it!

Why is a 30 year old novice politician being blamed or mocked for the status quo of violence in the inner cities that has gone on for decades before she was even born?

 Maybe if we had more AOC style politicians we wouldn't have the massive inequality that creates gun violence, not just murders but also suicides.

Reasons AOC is being mocked:

   1.  She is the product of a wealthy suburb, and not the "inner city".

   2.  It is evident to all that the current Marxist Riots are not "bread riots".

I would never vote for AOC, but I do admire her saavy.  I do believe her 2018 primary win stems from an ability to see the incumbent's vulnerability at a time when the incumbent (Rep. Joe Crowley, Democrat-Queens) was an awesome accomplishment.  She's certainly more saavy, politically and legislatively, than the rest of the squad.  Ilhan Omar is a ranting anti-American idiot, while Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley appear to be backbenching mediocrities, but AOC is the one who actually has both audacity and media savvy.  She could well succeed Schumer in the Senate.  This is meant as a compliment.  I would never vote for AOC, but there are a number of Democrats (and even a few Republicans) whose electoral demise I would rather see than AOC's.
