Lots of ways to do pushups. AOC was doing traditional pushups with hands about shoulder-width apart. Easist kind. Try putting your hands together with forefingers and thumbs touching to form a diamond.

It IS what I said. And that because of that, not shouldering the same responsibility, you don't get the same power. You want the power, you gotta have the responsibility too. Its the way things work.

Just like voting. You should not be able to vote unless you have skin in the game, and are financially supporting the system. If you want to have a voice, then chip in and don't be a taker. Takers don't get to participate.

Clearly didn't earn? What reason do you have for lying about a young woman who has worked extremely hard to accomplish more already at this young age than most of those who sit anonymously behind their computers and spew hate and mistruths about her.


Bartender: Was a second job that she took to help her mother. After college, Ocasio-Cortez moved back to the Bronx and found work as an educational director. Following the death of her father, she took on an additional job working as a bartender and waitress to help her mother—a house cleaner and school-bus driver—fight foreclosure of their home.


Your dumb smearing of her re pushups reveals way more about you phantompilot than it does her.
The Republican, mostly male, obsession with this 29-year-old AMERICAN is more than run-of-the-mill misogyny; it’s existential panic. Because in addition to the young Democratic Socialist standing for (reasonable) policies that conservatives find terrifying, Ocasio-Cortez represents a vision of the future of the United States — a future that’s no longer centered around white men.


Your posts, and other threads about her, are fearful unintelligent responses to women’s growing cultural power and the pushback against male white supremacy. Women — women of color, in particular — are amassing power across politics and culture, and those who have traditionally held that power are scared. By the looks of it phantompilot that includes you.


How dare they? Isn't that what you think, phantompilot? How dare women have the power to shape legislation? How dare they have the power to say no to sexual advances? How dare they hold men accountable?


But you can’t say those things, not out loud anyway, not even hiding behind your computer  can you? So instead, you and other conservatives mock. And diminish. And discredit.


Someone needs to come pick up the OP's corpse cause this is straight MURDER (tried to rep you but apparently I do that too much).

If you can't do five pushups you're basically an invalid.

I would expect Hillary Clinton to have trouble with five pushups. But an under 30 person of normal BMI and strength should be able to at least do ten without effort.

Remember, libs, EVERYONE IS A WINNER, so EVERYONE GETS A MEDAL.

One of the dumbest posts I've seen in a long time. How do you know she didn't earn her degree. What's wrong with bartending. It's honest work. Then the ridiculous assertion totally made up that people of a particular political persuasion as a group get a free pass on everything in life.

Sorry, no. You're backpedaling now (and I can't blame you), but you specifically said that women are not suited for political leadership because they are physically weaker than men. Now that you realize what a despicable thing that is to say, you're trying to get out of owning it, but it's too late for that now.

No, that is NOT what I said. You do realize everyone can just scroll up and see you've lied just now, right? Its right there, an unedited post.

I said they are unfit for politics because they are cavers and people pleasers who have an impulse to compromise, which is a bad trait in a leader.

IN ADDITION to that, they are undeserving of equal political power because they do not shoulder equal responsibility as men, which is true, and that because of that, their power should be limited so it is proportional to the responsibility they DO share.

Stop putting words in my mouth. Everyone, just scroll up.
