their attempts at losing are so half-baked and boring
lol I hope this is real. Tte Arabic text is machine translated and is written from left to right. It asks to vote OR volunteer.
They need to get a refund on whatever machine they’re using. Google translate is better than whatever they used
Google translates that as “We were sleeping, and we were not sleeping”, as well as saying she’s Alexandria Occasion Cortel from the Losing Sector.
from the Losing Sector.

More like Cartel lol amirite?
No not because of her ethnicity, not because- It’s THE DEMOCRATS I SWEAR GUYS I JUST MEANT-
I used Google too
AOC comes out in defense of the being gay with your dad constituency
Could they have hired 1 Arabic speaker? Aren’t there any professional translators that’ll work for em? It’s like a 10 minute job. All those people who were translators for the military in countries across the ME and Afghanistan and yet they can’t find one.
From what I’ve heard from Arabic speakers working for the democrats is (big shock) they are really racist and ignorant towards them and tend to drive them out.
Given how hard the Americans fought against allowing any people from Iraq and Afghanistan to seek refuge in America, I wouldn’t be surprised if the number of Arabic speakers who want to work with the Democrats is a rapidly dwindling number.
Afghanistan doesn’t speak Arabic
I am well aware of that fact that Afghanistan doesn’t speak Arabic. However the invasion and occupation of both Iraq and Afghanistan required the recruitment of a lot of locals who were able to translate for the occupational authorities. Said translators then had their applications for asylum denied in most of the West, despite being a pretty important cog in the imperial machine, because the west chose to prioritize domestic political concerns over the welfare of the people who had risked their lives to help them. Sorry if my last sentence seems too lib, but the way these people were so easily discarded was an important part of my radicalization and leftward movement.
haha get owned traitor
To non-Spanish speakers: This is also what it sounds like when aoc speaks Spanish

I can’t read arabic, but that looks wrong somehow. Aren’t the letters supposed to be joined together? I remember learning the sounds at one point. It kinda looks like the thai script actually.
Also
pussy loledit: Wait is the script going the wrong way??? Lol wtf
Ye letters are supposed to be joined going right to left. Certain letter combinations will change the way the letters are written, too. It’s like if they wrote “Vote for AOC!” like this:
c O A r O f E T o v !
covfefe hehe
Can Trump see the future and he was telling us this entire time?!?!?!?!
its the wrong way AND not joined together, its amazing
