Alright, so let's get into some of these takes, okay? | |
So... We were waiting... I was thinking about waiting to cover this endorsement until it actually happened, because, you know, AOC hasn't, like, formally endorsed Bernie yet. | |
She's going to do it at a rally this Saturday. | |
But the campaign is announcing it, it was already leaked to the press, and then the campaign confir- the Bernie Sanders campaign confirmed it. | |
But I was like, you know, should we wait to talk about this until like the floodgates are actually open? | |
But the floodgates pretty much opened. | |
And anyway, we have a comment here that sort of, I think like you said, Tony, just confirms our decision to talk about it today instead of after AOC formally announces. | |
Laura Manos Hay says, I love how they need to announce that. | |
Let her speak for herself. | |
We all know she's more than capable. | |
Get it? | |
And then Eric replies, Do you know how reporting works? | |
And then Laura replies, Um, not the New York Times. | |
Bernie's campaign. | |
Ooh. | |
Got him, kind of. | |
She's upset because the New York Times is mansplaining AOC's endorsement to her. | |
Mm-hmm. | |
AOC's like, uh, listen, I wrote the fucking endorsement, okay? | |
Don't need you to explain it to me. | |
Yeah. | |
The New York Times is like, this is called an endorsement. | |
What that means is. | |
They're talking to AOC. | |
This person is going to go ahead and like co-sign this other person. | |
I don't know if you, if you get that. | |
That means you have to say you like Bernie Sanders. | |
Yeah. | |
Um, I like this take because it's like, it's a good way to be mad about the thing without admitting the real reasons you're mad about it. | |
Yeah. | |
Like, you're not saying you dislike Bernie, you're not saying you dislike AOC, but you are still mad about this endorsement. | |
But it's just the way they did it. | |
That's the only reason I'm mad. | |
Until you, like, look closer at Laura's profile picture, which is her standing next to Elizabeth Warren. | |
It's actually a straight up Elizabeth Warren selfie. | |
Do you think this is a candidate one or did she wait in line recently for three hours? | |
Oh yeah, this is the Harriet Tubman selfie. | |
This is the one that's going to go down in history. | |
This is the Franklin Douglas selfie. | |
Yeah, this is how she's showing she's breaking stereotypes by taking a bunch of selfies. | |
Yeah, it's amazing. | |
That was the article, right? | |
That just like Frederick Douglass, Elizabeth Warren is showing that a woman can be president by taking selfies. | |
Will also be photographed. | |
Literally comparing a time where this man's blackness was considered some sort of demonic trace along with the bewitchingness of photography. | |
But his sheer intelligence and tenacity allowed him to be photographed more than anyone else in history. | |
But she's like a white woman in the world of camera phones. |
