Oct 2020

A small group of virulent AOC bashers do it to most every thread that involves her ever since she came onto the stage. It is bizarre and divisive AF that they continue on with it, no matter what she does. For true lulz, go back and look at the 2020 Dem House primaries threads, where some in the anti-AOC beehive supported or pushed, then moved (after that flavour of the week failed) onto the next great 'beat AOC' hope, such as the radical anti LGBTQ bigot Fernando Cabrera, who is linked to a hate group (that finally did him in here), or a ghost candidate, Jose Velazquez, who other than filing and seting up a one page shell website, never did a thing (yet was touted for months as a decent bet to dump AOC out), and then, at the end, settling on the Republican plant, the centre right stalking horse in Dem clothing, Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, who was thankfully crushed, but who is running as a sour grapes spoiler in the general (and will have zero effect).

Well, I'm glad she's doing it. Crunchy Frog Oct 2020 #10

Like I said, if it works, fine. But maybe it could've been tested... brush Oct 2020 #11

It's not easy for a freshman congressional rep to reach out to 400K people over two hours. LonePirate Oct 2020 #12

If it works, fine. But maybe test it early in the campaign to see if it works. brush Oct 2020 #14

Test what? What are you even talking about? melman Oct 2020 #15

Doesn't make sense to see if a method works? Seriously? brush Oct 2020 #17

No melman Oct 2020 #19

Ok, sure. Finding out if a method works is not important. brush Oct 2020 #21

How do you test if a method works? melman Oct 2020 #22

It's not limited to registered voters in the United States. George II Oct 2020 #18

lol melman Oct 2020 #20

Why is that funny? It's true. That's why they call it the "world wide web".... George II Oct 2020 #24

Funny? melman Oct 2020 #26

You said "lol", which is short for "laughing out loud". You laugh at things that aren't funny? George II Oct 2020 #29

lol can mean many things melman Oct 2020 #30

Other than "laughing out loud" or "laugh out loud" what else does it mean on the internet? Lol. George II Oct 2020 #34

You really don't know? melman Oct 2020 #36

I already told you what it means. Don't agree? Lol! George II Oct 2020 #41

You really seriously don't know? melman Oct 2020 #42

Yes I do know. Apparently since you're unable to respond perhaps it's YOU who doesn't know? George II Oct 2020 #45

Oh, I know melman Oct 2020 #70

Well based on what you've provided here, I have my doubts. I've said what it means, you haven't. Lol George II Oct 2020 #72

I'm okay with that melman Oct 2020 #73

IOW, it means LOL! George II Oct 2020 #76

Some geriatric folks use it for LOTS OF LOVE instead. PTWB Oct 2020 #38

I don't know any geriatric folks who use that to mean "lots of love".... George II Oct 2020 #43

I'm not sure what the baseball reference is to PTWB Oct 2020 #47

Who mentioned a Biden ad? Of 58 responses so far you're the only one who did. George II Oct 2020 #60

You mentioned the world series. PTWB Oct 2020 #62

Nope, not even close. I'm not watching the game so don't know anything about what ads are running. George II Oct 2020 #64

Okay. PTWB Oct 2020 #68

No they don't. That's from an an old, old funny text message R B Garr Oct 2020 #85

It includes Americans BainsBane Oct 2020 #84

Yes, it includes Americans. But platforms like that are rife with foreign trolls.... George II Oct 2020 #90

"Platforms like that" PTWB Oct 2020 #94

You mean Oh God, and what about "lol"? George II Oct 2020 #100

No, I meant Oh god. PTWB Oct 2020 #101

Ask Robert Mueller. But if it's interactive they didn't just watch, they participated too. George II Oct 2020 #102

That's odd... PTWB Oct 2020 #107

I thought you posted the video. My mistake. George II Oct 2020 #109

Hi melman Oct 2020 #112

"lol" George II Oct 2020 #114

So what? BainsBane Oct 2020 #105

Thanks for doing that. PTWB Oct 2020 #113

Isn't this contact? BainsBane Oct 2020 #83

it's a GOTV activity that right now has 365000 people watching fishwax Oct 2020 #13

She's got half a million people watching her right now. PTWB Oct 2020 #25

Just a thing of mine I guess. I like to know if it works to get... brush Oct 2020 #31

Can you think of a way she can reach more people in two hours? PTWB Oct 2020 #33

Is the object to reach people or get people registered and then vote? brush Oct 2020 #37

I doubt there is any way to measure it. PTWB Oct 2020 #39

Will you give it a rest, already? Act_of_Reparation Oct 2020 #95

Concern troll is concerned. Statistical Oct 2020 #91

How many of those half a million are in the United States or are registered voters? George II Oct 2020 #46

Who knows? PTWB Oct 2020 #49

It's quite possible that many of them may not be US citizens. As I pointed out, "Twitch" is global. George II Oct 2020 #55

We should spend more time on this. PTWB Oct 2020 #58

You can, I'm not interested. I'm more interested in encouraging AMERICAN VOTERS to get out to vote.. George II Oct 2020 #63

I'm sure the vast majority of the people watching her aren't Americans. PTWB Oct 2020 #67

The truth is no one is sure. Robert Mueller confirmed that in his report. G'night! George II Oct 2020 #71

You're right. PTWB Oct 2020 #75

I disagree. I think the majority who watched tonight are Americans. LonePirate Oct 2020 #78

I was being sarcastic. PTWB Oct 2020 #79

lol -- the objections to this are bizarre fishwax Oct 2020 #56

Notice who the objectors are. PTWB Oct 2020 #61

Unfortunately Trumpocalypse Oct 2020 #86

Few here have been as critical as I have of AOC BannonsLiver Oct 2020 #32

Like I posted earlier, if it works, fine. Earlier testing maybe... brush Oct 2020 #35

Well there's zero chance of follow through without engagement BannonsLiver Oct 2020 #48

This is the quintessential OK Boomer moment. demmiblue Oct 2020 #40

Ok, then. How do we gauge if it gets out voters? brush Oct 2020 #44

Ok crazy. n/t demmiblue Oct 2020 #51

I've done phone/text banking, voter reg, canvassing, date entry... brush Oct 2020 #57

You are being ridiculous. demmiblue Oct 2020 #65

And what have you done? brush Oct 2020 #77

Maybe you could ask Joe Biden how his Animal Crossing island is going? Violet_Crumble Oct 2020 #88

You're right. She should be GOTV in Hawaii and Alaska Renew Deal Oct 2020 #50

anything that gets younger folk even aware of politics is a good idea Skittles Oct 2020 #53

How many adults? NurseJackie Oct 2020 #93

We don't have access to that information for a particular broadcast. PTWB Oct 2020 #97

What specific thing about it was "GOTV" oriented? NurseJackie Oct 2020 #98

The entire broadcast was promoted as a GOTV event. PTWB Oct 2020 #99

Almost 5 million views on the video so far melman Oct 2020 #103

Freaking incredible. I love it. PTWB Oct 2020 #108
