re: #294 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

So when a white guy works his way up by tending bar or doing some other menial service job, then that is seen by conservatives as a great accomplishment and the very embodiment of their ideology.

When AOC does it, they treat her as if she did not deserve to rise above that position.

AOC infuriates them because she did work her way up and she doesn’t share their worship Capitalism agenda. Now, I would consider myself more centrist on the economy than Alexandria is. But, she knows more than I do about economics 1) and she has pointed out some very true flaws that do exist in what’s been called capitalism the past 30 years. That’s why they hate her. She doesn’t play their game. Add to that she’s a Latina who isn’t part of the old boy network and the resentment is even easier to see.
