    Fuck Stephen Miller but as a short dude her comments pissed me off to be honest. That dude’s taller than I am. Stick to his politics. Maybe short dudes wouldn’t feel the need to compensate if we weren’t getting shit on from all sides constantly. If we don’t compensate we’re ignored or ridiculed.

        So denigrating short men is going to help? She’s gonna win a lot of people over with that?

                First off it’s not a fucking game.

                Second, all she’s done is alienate a bunch of short dudes, a demo she’s probably not doing great with in the first place, and remind us that people will always see us that way regardless of anything else we do. No one cares about his height either and he’s not even that short if they did.

                  Everything is a game. An argument with your father is a game. You balancing a delicious, spicy curry against the ulcer you might have in 5 years is a game. Being popular is absolutely a game.

                  This is the bone I have to pick with you. You care more about maintaining your perfect little bubble than you do about winning.

                  I’m not going to argue with you about your specific insecurities. I’m asking what political strategy would energize people?

                  I don’t believe you have any ideas because you’ve never thought about crowdwork once.

                    Winning what? She was speaking to her fucking echo chamber on tiktok. He wasn’t even there to hear it. It was just another empty fucking “gotcha” moment for her base to jack each other off over. It had no effect on his influence.

                    I’m not going to argue with you about your specific insecurities. I’m asking what political strategy would energize people?

                    Suggest ways to actually fight the shit the Trump administration is doing instead of just making snarky comments about them? Basically everything she said after the short comment was great. Make fun of his weird behaviors that he actually has a choice in. Call him insecure but don’t literally make up a flaw (he’s not short) so that you can then project little man syndrome onto him.

                    I don’t believe you have any ideas because you’ve never thought about crowdwork once.

                    I have done crowdwork, I didn’t have to resort to body shaming to get people energized.

                    You’re not going to win anything by making fun of fascists, if that worked even a little bit then WW2 wouldn’t have happened

                  I’m short too, but somehow didn’t wind up inadequate like you.

                    Your obvious compulsion to tell everyone about how you’re totally not insecure about your height actually gives the exact opposite impression, just fyi

            Stop being a doomer troll. We all hate him for his politics, there’s literally no reason to give a shit about him otherwise

              I’m referring to the general public. The people that AOC would be speaking to. If his politics were enough to defeat him, then why is he currently the Deputy Chief of Staff?

              It is not doomerism, by the way, to think about your chess moves.

      You should grow up. I’m short, and I have never felt like that. Ever.

        You should learn to accept criticism more gracefully, your feelings are not universal and do not justify being a dick about physical traits people have no choice about
