Please provide a brief summary and description of the source when posting a link.

Not really sure what to add. Its from AOC, so reasons are limited. I tried at least.

What you should add is a brief summary of the video, and the source.

By source I mean who's posting the video. What their expertise on the subject.

In terms of a summary what list you're talking about, what the list means, how it's being compiled, etc. Not necessarily all of that, but enough for people to decide whether it's worth clicking.

Just by looking at his video list, he seems like a massive propaganda guy instead of anyone to take seriously. Do you have a credible source?

He is a liberal. I dont have Twitter, but you can just go there and confirm it I guess.

I don't know how far I'd have to dig, but his Twitter is equally full of bashing the left/liberals. It does says he's a liberal, but evidence supporting his claim doesn't exactly seem obvious. Either way, he doesn't seem like a credible source.

That said, I had a peek at the video. The list seems to be going a bit far depending on what kind of people are picked there in practice, but there doesn't seem to be any connection to AOC (unless you count a guy responding to her tweet as one - which you probably shouldn't). The guy is also very quick to jump to conclusions instead of looking at the situation from all angles, so I have little faith in him reaching correct conclusions anyway. I'm going to side with @Torillian here instead of assuming malice, because assuming malice as the first step usually leads to the wrong path. That is, AOC seems to have a reasonable stance, there is a potentially dubious list, and so far I'm not seeing any evidence of her being connected to the list. I don't know if knowing AOC's history would provide support for a malicious approach, but I don't personally have any reason to assume any kind of malice.

Well she is the one that asks people to keep a list. Maybe it was a joke, but she should be more clear then. Shes a congress woman, not just a random person on Twitter.

I agree that Tim Pool is just calling himself a liberal to keep the censors from coming after him though.lol

Tim Pool is a liberal in the way that Dave Rubin is a liberal. The "I'm a liberal and even I think the Democrats are craaaaaaaazy" angle makes good money. It lends you some credibility so people on the right can point at you and say "See, even the left thinks the Democrats are bad", but in reality, Tim Pool is just a grifter and an idiot. He exists solely to make money from Conservatives who want their opinions validated.

Be warned people who voted for Trump. You may end up on a list:

They believe that anyone who supports Trump after everything he has done should be held accountable. 
Its just from crazy AOC and some other loons, but still creepy as fuck.

It's good that you needn't worry about that.

Yeah, but the list she got seems to contain more than she asked for. If she asked for a way to take down Trump, would you hold her accountable if someone responded with a murder plot? That's obviously an exaggerated example but should demonstrate my point well enough.

That's the thought that certainly crossed my mind. I don't have enough evidence to make that claim about him either, but it seems plausible. Or perhaps he's just into conspiracies and stuff and that's why he's like that. Either way, doesn't seem like a credible source.

Sounds a bit like black conservative pundits.

OT:



The fact that Biden may win the Electoral Vote with the same exact margin and numbers that Trump won in ‘16; 306-232, would probably be the coldest case of karma I’ve ever seen.
