*Everyone* hates AI data centers. Except for tech bro billionaires, I guess, but they’re…*weird*. And very self-centered.
Democrats need to learn that populism is what is gonna work. Everyone is so sick of the institutional failures and having rich people treat the world like a playground. It’s unsustainable. Come with a wrecking ball and stop acting like it all just needs a little lube.
I still remember AOC coming down to Texas during the big freeze to help out. She didn’t have to but did it anyway. That was enough to force Cruz to come back to the state. I’ll never forget that.
Wish we had more politicians like her.
…but are they Republican voters?
Such a beautiful and intelligent woman. I love OAC.
She needs to run
The villain’s country
AOC has the right of it. It’s unite or die. These data centers are no good for all of us not a billionaire. We pay for their power, we get none of their profits, we get no benefit; and we usher in what AI’s own makers say will, in fact, destroy us. If we allow this, it’s because we’re irredeemably stupid, and we probably should be relegated to extinction.
She’s our president.
Honestly, fuck anyone who uses the “women can’t win” bullshit. She can WIN. Trump voters voted for him because they thought he was authentic. They also see her as authentic.
Low hanging fruit, may as well get after it 👍
Data centers represent the new environmental justice issue of our time. Like building dirty power plants in poor urban areas, data centers are polluting poor rural areas. Same shit – profits over people. This time it’s the red counties getting fucked.
So i click the link, there’s a video to play. I click that, I watch an ad, skip the rest, and then after 4 words into the video another ad popped up. No thanks even with no paywall
I think we’ve been divided by a propaganda news network and a bot army controlled by the global oligarchs. In reality most americans would agree on many issues that effect their daily lives
The weird thing about Trump Country is that many see Trump as a thing unconventional “fighter” for “them” despite the numerous examples that disproves this. It’s so weird, IMO.
Narrator: In the end.. they voted for Trump for a fourth time.
She’ll be an outstanding President.
This might be the edge we need in the primaries. Prove to everyone that she can sway conservatives and make sure MAGA is watching.
What side of this do YOU want to end up on after the tribunal?
Your family is watching you. Your friends are watching you. Your coworkers, your barber, your mail carrier. Your CHILDREN are watching you.
Is this the future you want for them?
Is this how you want them to remember you?
Please don’t forget America and its people are watching you, too.
For legal reasons, I mean none of what I say. I’m just in my feels today. I DO NOT WISH ILL UPON ANYONE. I DO NOT CONDONE VIOLENCE. FREE PALESTINE. SLAVA UKRAINI. LOVE THY HOOD.
But she was a BARTENDER!’
This is how Magyar’s party took down Orban and Orban’s entrenched gang of assholes in Hungary. He went where Fidesz had the strongest support and sat down with people. He listened. He calibrated his message. He won.
I wouldn’t say she took notes because she’s actually been doing this for a while. In fact, going door to door in her district is how she won her first primary. I’m just pointing out a similarity. Anyone can get on the internet and chase fame. But if you want to get in voters’ heads in a way that makes them trust you…that takes real hard work.
AOC 2028
I’ve seen this episode before. In the end, they still vote MAGA.
I like how the image they use if her makes her look aloof even though the headlines is about literally her coming to listen to people.
I like AOC, I wish she could become president one day. but Democrats don’t need to put up a candidate from a democratic stronghold right now. They need someone from the Midwest or South .
I’m in a red county in Nor Cal and the Republican backlash against these data centers is palpable. I heard a hard-core MAGA supporter today at a local public hearing insist on a 5 year moratorium on data centers in the county. If the Dems don’t capitalize on this sentiment they’re missing a great opportunity. No one wants this shit in our communities, and the idiot tech bros can’t explain just why we need these giant structures everywhere. It’s a golden opportunity so of course the Dems will fuck it up but goddamn this is an easy win if they’d just take it.
Good luck and godspeed.
I just found out a THIRD data center is being built not too far from my neighborhood, with a shitty bonus of flock cameras to go alongside the highway with it.
Fuck Google, fuck Meta, and fuck TierPoint
This to me shows the TRUE problem of America – propaganda.
The media and social media is 100% more responsible for Trump.
When Trump voters hear *directly* from progressives this is almost always the outcome.
“Wait you aren’t demon worshiping baby eaters? You actually want to help??”
Trump and the GOP, have just assumed the cult is in the bag forever and no need to dirty hands again.
AOC is smart, and this type of thing will absolutely swing people.
Showing up does swing people, its been quantified in studies
