That white women shouldn't vote republican, but that it is ok for black women to only vote for democrats.
Full quoted tweet text:
White women: 76% Kemp 59% Cruz 51% DeSantis Black women: 95% O'Rourke 97% Abrahms 82% Gillum White women gonna white.
Demonizing white women seems like excellent strategery.

Wait ...
Let me make sure I'm understanding this properly ...
She's saying that white women were whiting by voting for Rafael Cruz instead of Robert Francis O'Rourke?
You think that's bad?

Lol some freak in a Marie Claire article (not sure what that even is) wrote that Trumps America makes her regret adopting her daughters. Not sure if it’s parody bc it goes on to say they skip soccer games to march and use college funds to send into campaigns. But if true, should probly give your kids back and take a long walk off of a short pier.
Found the article, she’s psycho

Read that the other night. Stocking up on Plan B pills for your 10 year old daughters? Meanwhile, China is launching the most Orwellian citizen tracking system the world has ever seen. They'd be MUCH better over there. My eyes almost rolled out of my head after reading the article. My wife agreed, this person is deranged.
Another mob incident at Tucker Carlson's house. Only his wife was home and a mob started chanting in their yard and one person was even ramming the front door. She hid in a pantry and called 911. The left sure is civil.

They also published the addresses of some other conservative personalities.
I know she doesn't reflect the average acumen in Congress (of either party), but holy shit, is she ever dumb ...
Ocasio-Cortez Proves She Has No Idea What Congress Does
(I know it's the DailyWire, and they're hardly the most credible source, but I've seen the actual clip.)

Ha, she was the lefts darling for like a week until she opened her mouth for the first time. It's been downhill since then. She still won though...

It's a double whammy as she took out the best person that could have taken over as Speaker, Crowley. So, now, there is no one to legit challenge Pelosi for speaker. That helps Rs and Trump as they have their foil now for the next two years.
In a very large manner of speaking, the only way the left will ever clean up its act is if more people like Ocasio-Cortez get in the public eye. Add to that the fact that Pelosi will always be the democrat party's darling because she is a money making machine (the left is just as corporate friendly as the right is). Also, I read or watched somewhere that the people who vote for these types are mainly millenials and that the "exhausted left" are slowly starting to vote republican/libertarian/not vote at all.
And when I say "the left" I mean specifically the people who are voted into office, mainly DC.

I just spit out my water when I saw the one comment to this that was a Muppet Meme...
It said "I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and shit out a better statement."

Damn. I hadn't thought about that. Yikes!

From a sound bite view sure. But Sarah Palin 100x more intelligent

I don't think so.

Probably not. But if you get an education in economics and join the socialist party, you're pretty stupid.

Correct.
"If socialists understood economics, they wouldn't be socialists".

I used to work with two pretty far left people several years ago. They had a fair grasp of economics, too. But their idea was that, if enough people believed strongly and pushed for it, force of will could make their ideas coincide with economics; but there were enough people who didn't want to put forth the effort to make it so.
Not sure if every further left than normal type person thinks in that manner, but these were two people from different countries and IIRC within 4 years of each other in age. So, none of that means anything, but it reminds me of the saying "socialism hasn't been done right yet".

Some of the comments are pretty priceless:
So white people are racists for voting for a Cuban who defeated an Irishman pretending to be Mexican.

The question for them is why do they think it requires force to implement? People are free to combine all of their assets, and create the paradise they believe to be possible voluntarily. They shouldn't need you or me if we don't want to play.

Right.
It's like baseball. You need 18 people to play. And forcing five of them to stay on the field isn't going to make them play.
