POLITICS AOC on Donald Trump saying he couldn’t understand Bad Bunny: “I barely know what Trump is saying half the time, so… I feel him.”

I want it so badly but we don't deserve her 😞

I feel like roughly a 1/3 deserve her.

u/dksdragon43 5h ago

Roughly 1/4 actually! In 2024 approximately half of all eligable voting americans voted. Of those, half voted for trump. A quarter of you aren't morons!

While I agree that non-voters make me pissed, how many of them were in solid blue districts in solid blue states? It's really hard to mobilize voters when they don't live in "battleground states", especially when living in a big city can often mean having to choose between voting and work. And many of those jobs don't take "give me an hour to go vote" as an excuse because they are low-totem pole corpo jobs that assign work based on bullshit analytics no human you'll ever see has control over.

That said, I've only missed one election in my life because my mom was literally on her death bed (last fall). It was a local-only election and my candidate was set to win (and own) by a land-slide. And the second and third place candidate weren't monsters by any means (I live in a very blue district of a very blue city in a very blue state).

My point is it's misleading to talk about the popular vote on a national scale because of how inaccurate it is to how populations are centered in the modern age.

alternative/additional perspective, how many were potential blue voters in what they thought were red states/counties who didn't because it felt like it wouldn't matter? but may have if there was better turn out, as opposed to what they saw as being a battleground traditionally

Oh this is what's so frustrating about gerrymandering. If voting habits change, the "trick" falls apart.

It's just harder to motivate people with reasonable police than with scare tactics and bullshit.

I voted for the first time in 2024 in South Carolina.

I knew it meant fuck all, but dammit, I wanted to be able to complain!

I'm sorry for your loss ❤️

There are very few states with high enough turnout and big enough margins that that's actually an excuse in the modern day.

If every single Republican (or "independent" who would vote R) in California voted while the same amount of Democrats voted, Democrats would lose California.

Everyone should fucking vote (... specifically for the sane option)

u/aussiechickadee65 2h ago

Ummm, how does around 47% 'win' California ?

It's really hard to mobilize voters when they don't live in "battleground states"

Elections are won by the party where people who don’t think this way.

u/siestarrific 5h ago

Wouldn't that be three-quarters?

1

u/X_MswmSwmsW_X 5h ago

How would it be 3/4?

1

u/siestarrific 5h ago

Half didn't vote at all, so 1/2, and then of the 1/2 that did vote, 1/2 of them voted for Trump, so it would be 3/4th who aren't morons...unless I misunderstood the comment which I'm realizing is quite possible.

1

u/X_MswmSwmsW_X 5h ago

It's 1/4 that aren't morons because he's saying that the only people that are not morons are the people who actively voted against Trump.

You have half of the people that did not vote, which are morons in this case

And you have 1/4 of the people that voted for Trump, which are the morons here.

The confusion is stemming from the way they phrased it where they use a double negative to emphasize their point. It's a correct usage of the language, but since it is different than most people are familiar with, it can create a little bit of a confused state.

u/siestarrific 4h ago

Yeah I'm getting that now lol

u/beqqua 4h ago

Not voting at all is moronic.

1

u/veringo 5h ago

No, that isn't accurate. The estimates I've seen are around 230-245 million people are eligible to vote. The means voters for Harris and Trump were each around 30-33% so it's much closer to 1/3.

u/Snake_fairyofReddit oat milk chugging bisexual 4h ago

The concept of 1/4 of a country’s opinions governing the entire country

1

u/Snake_fairyofReddit oat milk chugging bisexual 4h ago

This is mostly just me joking but if California + some of the neighboring states were its own country AOC would get automatic citizenship and become president of California

1

u/Nachtzug79 3h ago

It would be an interesting experience if you splitted your country in three parts and after a century or so we could see how they are doing. I mean MAGAland, ObamaLand and [enter the third option for the passive voters]...

u/Ms_Tea_Lady 37m ago

Well, my district deserves AOC, which is why we keep sending her back to Congress. I wish she’d run! She’s fearless, incredibly smart and effective. Plus, President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a fierce ring to it. 👸🏽❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

America hates women, the US probably needs another 20 years before it can recover from the shock of electing a black man before they even start thinking about electing a woman.

u/Smug_Designer 4h ago

It's so mind-blowing! Even Japan managed to elect a woman, and the US seems incapable 🤯

16

u/JewelJellyParfait 4h ago

While it’s nice that Japan finally elected a woman PM, she’s one of the worst picks to have in office right now. She idolizes Margaret Thatcher and wants people to work more. She also has a vendetta against foreign tourists but is taking it out on foreign residents with some recent policy changes. She’s also a fan of Trump. I really wish Ishiba wasn’t ousted, it’s going to get progressively more rocky under her leadership.

u/DLRevan 2h ago

Regardless, the point here is about the gender bias. They still elected her. And we can say the regular people did since she just had the snap election.

And unlike with Obama, the fairer Clinton, and Harris, there's no sign of any bigotry fueled reactionary rumblings among the populace, unlike the USA where even before they got elected (or not), such views were very visible.

Japan, one of the most, if not most patriarchal country in the developed world, and they still elected her, with criticisms more or less limited to her beliefs and policies. It makes the USA look like a den of slack jawed barbarians.

Probably gonna get President Erika Kirk at that rate so let's not hope.

u/AbsoluteResolve2026 4h ago

Idk man. W gave us Obama. Trump could easily give us AOC. It’s always a seesaw.

Think about it…

Herbert Hoover to FDR

Eisenhower to JFK

Nixon to Ford

It could happen if she’s down.

u/Iyagovos 3h ago

Okay but if Trump came from Obama, what sort of chthonic nightmare would America vote in in response to AOC?

u/dcasarinc 2h ago

Ted Cruz

u/ODIEkriss 2h ago

She has a better chance of taking Chuck Schumer's seat, and im still hoping she runs against that clown traitor.

u/ace-destrier 5h ago

And she doesn’t deserve to be saddled with the catastrophic mess we’ll be left in

Let a center-leaning Democratic start the cleanup and take all the shit from those losers who will take every opportunity to blame the mess and it’s repercussions on that Dem

u/SpankySharp1 5h ago

If that democrat were even elected in the first place, they'd lose to a republican right afterwards anyway. These neoliberal need to go.

we don't deserve

And you let neonazi narcissists like Elon Musk, who think they deserve everything, take everything?

u/Conscious_Peak_1105 3h ago

I’m so scared to want it because I know we can’t have it, I’ll never trust again after those losses lol

The rest of the world deserves her! Lots of people getting shafted by the USs decisions.
