    Way back I worked with a guy who said, “AOC is just Democrat Trump”

    He stuck with the I-don’t-like-either political opinion, voted republican.

    I worked with him for a few years and sometimes I’d just remember that he said this. Never could understand what the hell he meant or where he heard this. It literally blew my mind. AOC is a politician, there’s criticism you can throw on her and things she’s done poorly but like what the fuck metric was he looking at that made him say this? Baffles me

      I guess people like that don’t really listen to what a person is saying or what they stand for, so both are just politicians that are in the news a lot and therefore comparable. Trump probably just makes him laugh more or strokes his ego the right way. It’s sad, really.

        Nope a shocking number of Americans just listen to people tell them what a politician said instead of just listening for themselves
