Of course she could make it. Would she keep it or donate it?
She is saving up so she can quit politics and start a homestead.

A single book deal might put her over. Whatâs her expected net worth if she puts 5-10% of her salary into the stock market and paid off the mortgage on a house?
She would make at least $5 million from a book, and it would be a lifetime annuity thereafter.
Right - but every Republican elite blatantly pandering to the working class to a comical degree - while being from Blue Blood Harvard and Yale and in bed with Goldman Sachs, and of course doing nothing but fuck over the working poor - doesnât turn them off for some reason.
Not sure how hard I want to work to achieve that brass ring which apparently requires pure bad faith and nothing else.
The fact that some right-wing chud called Jill Biden âkiddoâ in the most condescending cringey op-ed you could ever dream up, but itâs the Democrats who are now tearing themselves apart over it is just perfectly on brand.

She makes $174k/yr. Even with DC real estate prices, putting a good chunk of that away each year should be a 7-fig net worth within 10 years assuming some market appreciation
In this Ohio diner, we always sneer at people who got their graduate degree from U-Delaware.
I think itâs more that the dem response to misogynistic or racist behavior is usually just performative stuff like changing a street name to Black Lives Matter Blvd or putting your credentials in your twitter handle.

I did say in todayâs dollars and there are 339 members of congress worth less than $1m right now. A book deal, if she keeps the money, would put her over yeah. So, maybe/probably. But, otherwise I wouldnât expect her to be above the median.
Iâm from the working poor. Theyâre low info on some things, but they do generally know when someoneâs actions help them and when they donât. Well not the deplorables who are gone down the rabbit hole - which is part of my point - youâll never make them happy. These people laugh along when Ben freaking Shapiro makes fun of AOC for being a bartender. Theyâre completely useless and irredeemable.
The other part of my point is that Iâd bet my life savings that putting a title after your name on twitter means absolutely nothing to the non-deplorable working class either way. You arenât going to lose them from that. You lose them by actually doing very little to help them - which the DemE is very guilty of and why Bernie and AOC resonate. People trust them to at least try.
Lefties ragging on Dems for putting a title after their name is just perfect R bullshit - getting us to chase our tail while theyâre theyâre laughing their asses off at us. Itâs also Hillbilly-Elegy thinking (as trolley pointed out) in assuming if we just somehow understand them and speak their language theyâll relate to us.
We all know the key to the kingdom - M4A. Real UHC, not corporate compromises that cost an arm and a leg. The first politician on either side to somehow subvert the donor class and unlock UHC wins. Trump+UHC breezes to second term and is probably dictator for life.
The issue is if women feel like putting their credentials in their twitter in support of Jill Biden, let them. That abhorrent editorial should be 100% the focus of all scorn related to this.
This has absolutely nothing to do with not relating to the working class. There is no reason to snipe at liberal women for doing this.
Has anyone pointed out that like half of the working class are women?
Most voters have no awareness of the âDr.â issue. None, zero, nada. Just another example of right-wing media creating a bullshit issue, sucking in educated liberals and running out the clock / distracting from obscenely rich people stealing all the money.
Seriously guys, just view literally everything through the lens of rich people getting all the money, it will save you a lot of time.

Iâm sure this has been posted elsewhere but please read. Theyâre literally putting Koch stooges on committees ahead of AOC in retaliation for her primary endorsements. Absolutely infuriating, fuck eDems so hard. Iâm done voting for them.

The Democratic Party is a shameful political machine that must be destroyed. Itâs close to a hopeless fight but if illiterate mouthbreathing inbreds can nuke Eric Cantor, surely we can primary some of these assholes. @WichitaDM

I will say I wish I had a solution. I donât. No money canât beat unlimited money. Ive been beating this drum since 22 and it was the spat that made nun and I mortal enemies on the interim site(which cmon man Iâm a teddy bear until you go after me).
The Dems are 90% bought and paid for stooges. They play their part for the camera. Then they do whatever the corporate/donor masters want. They are the literal end boss. Winning elections with the Obamas/Bidens/Pelosis/Schumers does not accomplish anything. Until the party is purged we are blocked by the DemE crew.

lol the votes to put people on committees are secret? So absurd.
Henry Cuellar should be the number 1 target for progressives outside of screwing over AOC. Heâs in a super safe district and has a pathetic voting record.
Thatâs a good look, go with itâŚ
I actually remember it as the opposite. If they werenât âDoctorâ, they were some non-PhD who was somehow teaching a college class. You had to call them something, so âProfessorâ it was, even if they were an adjunct or something.
All of the âDoctorsâ were professors of some sort, but not all âProfessorsâ had a doctorate.
Heâs pissed cause she helped his primary challenger (Jessica Cisneros) fundraise and she endorsed her.
I donât know why anyoneâs surprised by this, heâs a scumbag establishment right winger and heâs doing scumbag establishment right wing thingsâŚ
And of course 75% of the Democratic Congressional Caucus hates AOC. Sheâs their mortal enemy. Theyâre more likely to get along with Mitch McConnell behind the scenes than AOC.
