    I know the character of Ericka Albright in The Social Network is fictitious but I really think the point of the story of guys like Zuck and all his edgelord keyboard warriors is stated at the beginning of the movie when she says something along the lines of:

    "Mark I want you to know that you will go through life thinking that people don't like you because you are nerd. That's not the case. They wont like you because you are an A$$hole."

    I'm sorry I have a meeting in 8 minutes.
    Hope you are OK until I get done.
    Go grab a hot pocket, eat it, then f the holder.
    That should keep you occupied until I get back from dealing with real issues and REAL PEOPLE.

    Sorry that i'm happy about my life and don't live on a talk board.
    Make sure you clean up that spooge from you hot pocket holder.

    Look I don't want to be all arm chair psychologist but someone who feels the need to express how great their life is in a Internet debate has to have some issues right? Like you aren't THAT happy if you are here telling a virgin loser how great their life is


    I feel like people who sincerely enjoy their lives aren't doing what you are doing right now. You really are trying to prove this random virgin loser about how you have kids and a wife.

    Yeah whenever i make it in life, and finally get all the girls in the world to want me 24/7 remind me to then go on the internet 24/7 sh$tposting about a junior member or Congress, and tell people how big and awesome I am. I mean heaven forbid I would actually spend my gifted time you know... doing things like being with those women that want me, traveling, making deals, going to events, and being important. Let's just spend all my time on a basketball forum trolling libs.

    When that happens for me, promise me you'll remind me to come back here and do that please.

    The re-election of Donald Trump exponentially increased the chances of AOC emerging as a future President in the future for a number of reasons.

    maybe. hard to know whether AOC/Bernie-style progressivism survives. She at least shows signs of moving toward the middle

    We are in a period of extreme swings - and if things don't go swimmingly well the next four years (whether it is or isn't Trump's fault) - we very well may see a strong swing in another direction. People are not happy with the status quo.

    In a period of relative calmness, someone like AOC wouldn't stand a chance - but that isn't the period we are in.

    I am not saying she is going to be President - just that her odds have gone from basically zero to having as good a chance as any other top candidates.

    Both parties get power and believe that they have somehow tapped into what the people want and have an unconditional mandate - the hubris results in an overreach and eventual punishment. Sometimes a President get's out of town before the country gets tired of them, but their party ends up paying the price.

    haven't given this a whole lot of thought, but looking ahead 4-8 years, I think the Dems are gonna need someone who is the rough equivalent of Vance. Smart, educated, and able to think on their feet. Midwestern-ish wouldn't hurt. Broad popular appeal after what will likely be another four divisive years of Trump.

    Not sure AOC can muster up that kind of broad appeal. I suspect she will always be kind of a fringe, niche-type politician who will have zealot supporters, but who will fail to capture the imagination of voters outside that circle of enthusiasm. But of course time will tell.
