For people who don't know who this is, she's famous for the video called "ok boomer" or for her "socialist" takes like supporting sanders in 2020. Since she started to live a multimillion-dollar lifestyle like sanders im kinda frustrated because she give a bad image of socialism believers as the "ones who switch sides when they have success".

sanders lives a multimillion dollar lifestyle?

The attitude some have of "we all live in poverty until none of us do" is plain dumb and that living with materially comfortable standards is a "multimillionaire lifestyle" is childish and immature

Since when is Socialism a vow of poverty?

Nah you don't get it, she said "tax the rich" but proceed to not pay them when she became wealthier

Every single "failure" of "socialism" to which its opponents point came to be specifically when, and because, people in positions of influence and power turned their backs on their claimed principles and chose instead to live lives of wealth and privilege.
