LOL! You're a former bartender who's now a member of Congress. What are
you even talking about?
This just in: Former Bartender-now-Congresswoman and national political
star lectures us that people can't possibly rise above the level of
their birth in evol America.
The real problem with this chyck is that she's as stupid as fuck. And
she keeps proving it every time she opens her mouth.

Next from She Guevara:
"Nobody actually has a chip on their shoulder when they say they do. I
have not seen a single Lays potato chip on ANYBODY'S shoulder. Also,
I've never seen a cat rip someone's tongue from their mouth, and it's
absurd to say a pot can even speak, let alone call a kettle black."

I just watched it, and your interpretation is full of shit.
All AOC was saying was the obvious... when people keep saying that
someone uses the phrase "pull yourself up by your bootstraps", it's
referring to something that people CAN'T actually do.
She's tellng you that when somebody says that someone should "pull
yourself up by your bootstraps", they're full of shit because nobody CAN
pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
AOC was 100% right, you moron. So, in fact, YOU encounter a figure of >speech, and came out the loser, loser.
"Pull yourself up by your bootstraps." It’s a common phrase in American >political discourse, particularly present in conservative rhetoric about >self-reliance.
The concept is simple: To pull yourself up by your bootstraps means to >succeed or elevate yourself without any outside help. But when you
examine this expression and its current meaning, it doesn’t seem to make
much sense.
To pull yourself up by your bootstraps is actually physically
impossible. In fact, the original meaning of the phrase was more along
the lines of “to try to do something completely absurd.”
Etymologist Barry Popik and linguist and lexicographer Ben Zimmer have
cited an American newspaper snippet from Sept. 30, 1834 as the earliest >published reference to lifting oneself up by one’s bootstraps. A month >earlier, a man named Nimrod Murphree announced in the Nashville Banner
that he had “discovered perpetual motion.” The Mobile Advertiser picked
up this tidbit and published it with a snarky response ridiculing his
claim: “Probably Mr. Murphree has succeeded in handing himself over the >Cumberland river, or a barn yard fence, by the straps of his boots."
AOC was right, it was always meant as a joke. And you're the loser, not
her.
