Hell yeah, AOC. Get fucking loud.
- I absolutely support her in this but we also need some Democrats to yell this in a format for the casual crowd. Most Americans probably do not really know what a plutocrat is. It hurts to dumb down but it worked for MAGA...
  
  There are differences between dumbing down so most people understand something and dumbing down in the way they do for MAGA etc. They aren't explaining things in simpler words. They just are dumb, unable to grasp things that might need dumbing down and shouting those things, often even trying to use smarter words but mostly failing completely at pronouncing, spelling and understanding those words. It's never bad to explain any word many don't understand or having an easier to understand version if possible.

Its important you organize us too, AOC. There are plenty of us just needing a rallying cry. We dont have the luxury of time.
- She can't do it alone. People need to get off their arse and organize.
  
  It's happening right now. A lot of the comments I've seen regarding these efforts have been overly critical and dismissive all while still complaining nothing is being done.

Age old scenario that's happened more than often in the past.
Autocrats, plutocrats and authoritarians are knocking at the door and breaking it down .... while the poor try to hold them back and the rich and wealthy let them in because they believe it will enrich them.

Yes, they are following the Fascism for racists 101 playbook. Welcome to fascism in America.

The guy practically has an all access pass to govt data. How is this not a gigantic conflict of interest?
- It's not a "conflict of interest". It's violating the basic human rights and civil liberties of every US citizen. Their right to privacy, along with all their data, is supposed to be protected, but has been sold directly to a criminally corrupt oligarch who will weaponize it against them... An oligarch who probably couldn't even pass a legitimate, independent psych eval, background check, or security clearance.
  No-one in the history of the world has had this type of direct access into every government system. I'm not even sure the NSA, or any "intelligence agency" does, as direct access laterally across all these systems is a critical attack vector of national security that could basically cripple the economy, military, country, etc if it got into the wrong hands.
  
  civil liberties
  right to privacy
  You're kidding, right? US citizens never had a right to privacy. They barely have any rights compared to other civilized countries

But Pluto's not even a real planet!
- It's like a dwarfcratacy at this point.

Republicans, probably: hur dur al-mex-andria cortez thinks elons from pluto

Spend some of that hard-earned money on guns and ammo to defend yourselves.
- What money?
  
  Credit cards are free money. Who's gonna collect when the collapse comes?

Talk is cheap. DO SOMETHING.
don't give a fuck about angry tweets
- Organization starts with getting a message out and gaining support. This is a start, and I’ll hope for the follow through since options are running short.
  
  So she's getting the message out about elon...on a website owned by elon...
  The DNC isnt getting my vote again until congress starts to resemble the South Korean parliament. I'd ~~pay good fucking money~~ donate to see AOC punch MTG straight in the face.

So that means she's going to start a new party right?

Best start believing in plutocracies gurl, you've been in one yer whole life
