Nobody cares about his politics. Project 2025 has been out there for like 3 decades now, nobody gives a shit.

So denigrating short men is going to help? She's gonna win a lot of people over with that?

I only said that no one cares about his politics. Do you have another suggestion?

I don't think that's a suggestion. How does this move the game forward?

First off it's not a fucking game.

Second, all she's done is alienate a bunch of short dudes, a demo she's probably not doing great with in the first place, and remind us that people will always see us that way regardless of anything else we do. No one cares about his height either and he's not even that short if they did.

Stop being a doomer troll. We all hate him for his politics, there’s literally no reason to give a shit about him otherwise

I'm referring to the general public. The people that AOC would be speaking to. If his politics were enough to defeat him, then why is he currently the Deputy Chief of Staff?

It is not doomerism, by the way, to think about your chess moves.
