Mao-Xandria Ocommie-Cortez flipped out today because of some comments from Aaron Sorking the popular liberal entertainment writer.
All he said was that he likes the young Dems just voted in, but that they have to stop acting like young people:

https://twitter.com/cmclymer/status/1087073586664407040This guy/chick is trying to show SUPPORT for AOC, but she instead accuses everyone of SEXISM.
https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1087093156397678593This has deeper consequences, bc as we’ve seen w/ narratives advanced by the right, they have trouble recognizing intelligence in people they disagree with.

This is what bias looks like: for some ppl, small mistakes mean they’re not “serious,” yet others are forgiven for worse.
If you notice, on the right they’ll flatly call people blanket terms, and even make things up. And I don’t mean trolls - I mean their biggest commentators + TV figures.

This is different from criticizing a specific take you disagree with, or pointing out discriminatory patterns.
Just look at the marginal tax rate discussion.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) January 20, 2019
The right’s biggest strategy against my marginal tax rate proposal isn’t to argue against it - it‘s to lie about it, and imply that it’s a tax on all income, bc that helps their characterization of me as a “crazy/dumb“ Latina woman.
Uh, yeah except we mock EVERYONE who wants to tax people at an insane 70% rate, not just crazy latinas. You cretin.
This stuff infects some Democrats, too. Because in our overall discourse, nonviolent protest somehow gets deemed as not “civil,” yet stripping women’s rights or incarcerating children on the border doesn’t receive the same characterization.

What’s up with that?🕵🏽♀️
Lastly, we wouldn’t need to talk about bathrooms at all if we acted like adults, washed our hands + minded our own business instead of trying to clock others.

Going by track record, I’d feel safer in a bathroom w/ a trans woman than a powerful male executive any day of the week.
This girl barely qualifies to be an extra in a Gillette commercial, much less Congress. And didn’t she prove Sorkin’s point? Instead of ignoring the criticism or accepting it, she goes on a rant about how she can’t be questioned, even by democrats, who are clearly animated by sexism! LOL! Love it.
AND, ironically, she ended her rant by defending trans people after she was accusing a trans person of sexism when she tried to show her support!!! Amazing.
