    How can you truly fight for the working class when you lived a life of extreme privilege?

    That’s ridiculous. Can someone not fight for LGBTQ rights of they aren’t part of the community? For POC rights if they aren’t POC? For women’s rights if they aren’t a woman?

      It’s bullshit anyway, AOC’s background is the definition of working class, this dude is just in here spewing bullshit propaganda.

        I am not spewing bullshit propaganda, I was mistaken and already realized and admitted that well before you made this comment.

          Lol, the fact that you corrected it is good, but you were spouting bullshit propaganda. They have tried to pain her as rich by showing her house and calling it a mansion. It was a normal house. They tried to paint her as inexperienced for office as she was “only” a bartender. It’s just propaganda. You fell for it. You passed it on.

      I’m a well-off middle-aged white male, I guess I should just give up my convictions about how people should be treated equally and fairly. And when I say “equally” I also mean taking into account generational privileges and opportunities that are not received equally by all people.

      But fuck me, right?

      Fellow cishet white male nerds assemble! Let’s discuss how there’s just nothing we can do. We can have our servants feed us grapes if we get bored.

      I get your point, but I don’t think it applies to this specific situation. My point is that I don’t believe that anyone from the wealthy or ruling class can genuinely advocate for people within the working class. That would have a direct negative impact on their own self interests. I can be straight, and still advocate for LGBTQ rights without that having a negative impact on me.
