“What’s funny about that is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.”



I know many of you will dismiss this as the ramblings of a Third-worlder… Yet, as someone who saw and suffered under the socialists, I can identify a populist demagogue the moment I see and hear/read one.
Her ambition is the seat and to perpetuate herself in the power, nothing unlike Cristina de Kirchner, or Hugo Chávez, or Maduro.
And, unless you do something about the illegals, her “ambition” is just a bait.
I’ll take the bait. In what way, specifically, did you suffer under socialism?
First of, thanks for the opportunity of a proper conversation. Second, a quick rant:
Many countries here in South America lived through some form of socialism. So, for us Peruvians, we live what I am warning through the decade of the 80s.
With many public services collapsed, and a severe hyperinflation.
The presidents of that time, first Fernando Belaúnde Terry (who focused on housing, but not on security which lead to the formation of Sendero Luminoso) and the Alan Garcia ( whose strategy was similar to what AOC is doing right now, while enacting most socialist programs like price control, and healthcare (in reality, an oversaturation of the dangerously lackluster service (further context: it was common to die from diarrhea here))), had a socialist government which worsened the situation until the next government of Alberto Fujimori.

Yeah, I’m dismissing this as rambling, but of a bot account funded by a right-wing organization.
Sure… I am a bot.
Repeating like a good sheep what is written in Reddit.
I haven’t been on Reddit in at least two years, maybe longer. I can’t remember and honestly don’t care enough to check. But that sort of statement sounds exactly what I would tell my staff to have the bots write when accused of being bots, if I worked at an agency aiming to stir up dissent on social media.
So how about this: if you want to prove that you’re not a bot, try being kind and thoughtful about what you say, be introspective about your edgelord views, and actually write something that has respect for the dignity of human life.
This is what I would write If I was a bot… 01001101 01110101 01100011 01101000 01101111 01110011 00100000 01100100 01100101 00100000 01110101 01110011 01110100 01100101 01100100 01100101 01110011 00100000 01110011 01101111 01101110 00100000 01100010 01101111 01110100 01110011 00100000 01100001 01101100 00100000 01110011 01101001 01101101 01110000 01101100 01100101 01101101 01100101 01101110 01110100 01100101 00100000 01100001 01100011 01100101 01110000 01110100 01100001 01110010 00100000 01101100 01101111 00100000 01110001 01110101 01100101 00100000 01100101 01101100 00100000 01110010 01100101 01110011 01110100 01101111 00100000 01100100 01101001 01100011 01100101 00101110 00100000
Hahahahahahaha!
Strong “I lived through the holocaust. Israel is definitely not doing a genocide” energy.
Try making a line to buy only one carton of milk (we buy cans). And every time, it increases the price by the minute.
All while someone blew a car anytime. That is what O have lived.
Yep!
What is “the illegals”?
Brown people, ofc
What about The Gays™? Aren’t
weahm… THEY also illegals? You know, for… Scorning imaginary friends and fascists?Don’t forget the trans people!
And people with dissenting opinions?
I am Latino. And there are many Latinos who come illegally, and worse, to ruin their environment… Like in Perrysburg, Ohio.
Oof. Plenty of countries have implemented socialist programs. Healthcare, access to basic necessities are needed. No one “illegal,” they’re just people trying to establish themselves. Whole country was built on the blood of Native Americans. So, yeah that shit about this country being a melting pot is more relevant.
Most of them, privatised.
And tell the “illegal” part to “El Tren de Aragua”.
They’re democratic socialists, not corrupt communists.
The corrupt capitalists aren’t doing much better either, tbh. The country just hasn’t fallen enough yet for the general public to truly start starving.
Tell me what happened during the Biden Administration? Why withhold all the good/plans until she (or Harris) enter the White House?
Really makes you think huh? 🙄
