Takes a phony to know a phony, eh?
.@AOC and I were born the same year. She was a Dunkaroos kid—I liked fruit roll-ups. People our age have never experienced American prosperity in our adult lives— which is why so many millennials are embracing Democratic socialism https://t.co/hG6iT5XUlv

Charlotte Alter is a national correspondent for Time magazine and incidentally, she is the author of the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez piece featured in the Leftist birdcage liner. She seems to think the reason people ‘her age’ embrace Democratic socialism (which is really just socialism) is because they’ve never benefitted from American prosperity.
Talk about a bunch of spoiled little brats.

From Time:
The woman everyone calls AOC is as much a villain to the right as she is a hero to the left. She’s replaced Hillary Clinton as the preferred punching bag of Fox News pundits and Republican lawmakers, and the hits are taking their toll. Public opinion of Ocasio-Cortez has soured as she becomes better known; according to a Gallup poll conducted in February, 31% of Americans overall have a favorable impression of her, against 41% unfavorable—a 15-point swing since September.
There’s just one big problem with her claim about prosperity.
This is Jonathan Alter’s kid, who went to Harvard as a legacy after her father — who went to Philips academy — also went there, and who also wrote the Time cover story on AOC, surely getting the gig unrelated to any connections either.
Hard life. https://t.co/0vW06ihWyp

Oh, so she has prospered. A LOT.
And clearly, so has AOC.
But SOCIALISM!!!
I’ll give her this: I’m pretty sure fruit roll-ups changed during her childhood to be less textured, more neon-colored, and less satisfying to peel off from the plastic. That’s what her grievance should be! https://t.co/0vW06ihWyp

Damn those fruit roll-ups!
This seems to cover both AOC and Charlotte Alter pretty well: https://t.co/OPxAIhUpiq

Bingo.
Not gonna lie, I went in for another round on Charlotte Alter once I found out she was Jonathan Alter’s kid because J Alter was such an obfuscating dick to @NoahCRothman on Bill Maher’s show.

Unfortunately you were raised in the age of the Internet in the midst of a selfie- driven society. We are a constitutional republic, not a mob ruled-run society. This will never change. You want change, look in the mirror…start there.

If Time wants to push the ‘poor millennial’ narrative they shouldn’t use a prosperous millennial to do so.
Just sayin’.
