Socialist Congressional hopeful Anthony Clark's ASCII art tweet blaming billionaires for poverty goes OH so very wrong

If we’ve learned one thing on Twitter it’s that you NEVER use ASCII art to try and make a point because it will only turn into a good deal of mockery and trolling … at your expense. Ok, that’s not entirely true. This is the second thing we’ve learned on Twitter, the first is that you never engage with AOC’s followers because you will automatically start dropping IQ points and might even drool a little down your chin.

But the ASCII art thing is a big one too.

Anthony Clark learned this the hard way.

Nothing says you’re a serious candidate like using ASCII art.

And we’re pretty sure his logic is … stupid.

If success didn’t exist, neither would failure.

If triangles didn’t exist, neither would Thursday.

If the Sun didn’t exist, neither would night, BECAUSE WE’D ALL BE DEAD

There are NO homeless people, or people living in lower income brackets, hiring the public to get THEM out of poverty. pic.twitter.com/2rCKst6BaS

If jobs didn’t exist, there would be zero unemployment.

Mind blown.

Before John D. Rockefeller became the world's first billionaire… no one in America was poor!

Good times.

Billionaires cause poverty like tall people cause short ones.

If you want your readers to play connect the dots, it’s wise to at least place your dots within the same universe.

By the way, nice unicorn.

Oooh, unicorn. We want one!
