Did she really say that or is it more fake news from the fascist Right?

@PrincessAwesome it actually is fake news, he got it from fox 😂 he admitted it was from a fox news article

@Mistakesmakeus I swear, you don't even need to fact-check Conservatives. Just assume they're wrong, you'll be correct 9 out of 10 times.

@Mistakesmakeus It's not fake news. She said it on twitter.

@ron122 stop building them, doesnt mean get rid of all prisons
PrincessAwesome · 22-25, F
@ron122 I checked. Here's what she actually said: "Our lawmaking process means we come to solutions together, &either way we should work to an end where our prison system is dramatically smaller than it is today."
You should be embarrassed. You're a useful idiot that believes anything you see in right-wing media.

@Mistakesmakeus It’s partly that. It’s the usual problem of the current age - rightoids lack any capacity for nuance, and leftoids like grandiose pronouncements that mean something else when you take a closer look at what they mean, which is awful messaging when it comes down to it.
Both are kind of dumb, but at this juncture in American history, rightoids are really dumb.

@QuixoticSoul well in terms of vocabulary he said she wants to ABOLISH which means to entirely remove including all currently built prisons. What she actually said was to stop building. Right wing media like fox news spun it like she meant to completely destroy all prisons and release the prisoners

@Mistakesmakeus abolish
[əˈbäliSH]
VERB
formally put an end to (a system, practice, or institution).
"the tax was abolished in 1977"
Is that clear enough for you?

@QuixoticSoul Actually I do agree with that. While I agree with what she's saying, I would never use the term "prison abolition" because it does sound like she wants to eliminate all jails. Unlike Fascists, the Leftists are still living in reality, we just need to get better at public communication.

@ron122 😆
Pathetic.

@ron122 he wont listen, hes too stupid to get it or hes too stubborn to accept fact

@PrincessAwesome That's not the video smart ass
PrincessAwesome · 22-25, F
@ron122 AOC elaborated on what she meant, but you're ignoring that part of the tweet because you're an NPC.
ron122 · 41-45, M
@PrincessAwesome Your so brainwashed[
stratosranger · M
@PrincessAwesome Yes she tweeted it.
Guess you’re wrong. Again.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., recently offered another unusual idea on Twitter: Abolish prisons.
Seriously. The freshman congresswoman wants Congress to pass a law abolishing all prisons. Setting aside the fact that Congress has no authority to require states to abolish prisons, let’s take a look at her idea.
Based on Justice Department numbers, abolishing prisons would set free 182,000 murderers, 164,000 rapists and sex offenders, 168,000 robbers, and other violent felons in state prison.

@ron122 you're actually the brainwashed one tbh. You're believing fox news instead of doing research. I dont trust big names like cnn or fox or OAN or MSNBC, I like to do my research and it shows that she didnt say abolish she said to stop building them
PrincessAwesome · 22-25, F
@stratosranger I posted the part of the tweet where she elaborates, saying we should reduce the amount of prisons, not eliminate them entirely. But believe what you want, be a good useful idiot.

Dumas? You’re done. You’re a moron. Prove you’re a moron by replying. @PrincessAwesome

@PrincessAwesome Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, useful idiot. Run along now.
