“Now how many of y’all think BoBo gonna try to convince us that polls don’t matter… of course unless they are trash for Biden & great for Trump!”
Who speaks like this?
10 bucks says that as soon as her political career goes tit’s-up, she goes tit’s-out on OF…
I think she starts with the pundit route first, taking on less and less prestigious media outlets.
Then she releases a sex tape and tries to build a reality TV career.
Is that the palin route? Or was it just sex tapes by actresses parodying her?
While it would be better for America if she never held office again, she’s still young as far as a career politics and clearly shopping for power wherever she can find it. I’m guessing she’ll try for smaller office somewhere. City Council maybe Mayor of some really red small city.
She’s usually really good on poles, what’s the problem?

That’s your main take-away from this article? Criticizing an African-American for using some African-American Vernacular English?
I wouldn’t even call that African American vernacular. The only word I see there that looks strange is ‘y’all’ and that’s more like Southern vernacular. This is tame stuff as far as language goes.
Nah, we’re taking y’all back as a gender neutral replacement for “you guys”
I use it in a professional setting now even.
Strangely, it keeps everyone happy, no one has ever object to y’all and it’s grammatically perfect.
It’s actually a significant flaw in English that there’s no generally accepted 2nd person plural pronoun. There’s probably another language in the same boat but I’m not aware of one personally.
Currently in the running are:
- Y’all (favored in the south)
- Yous (favored in the north, particularly the northeast)
- And the somewhat awkward “you all”, the only one that’s officially correct
For anyone who speaks a language other than English the missing pronoun is a pretty glaring thing.
I see some stickers sometimes that says “Ya’ll means you all” and I love it.
come on, the Scottish/north english “yous” is better than Y’all, and yous cant deny it!
L take, it was criticizing the use of “Bobo” and general patterns of writing that aren’t fit for a political analysis. Also, the writer of this article is white.
The person whose tweets are being quoted is US Representative Jasmine Crockett
Texas Democratic Rep Jasmine Crockett remarked early on Monday morning, “Before I go to bed, I thought it would only be fitting to send ‘thoughts & prayers’ to my colleague, Lauren Boebert. It’s my understanding that she placed 5th in her first straw poll of the election cycle.”
She continued, “Now how many of y’all think BoBo gonna try to convince us that polls don’t matter… of course unless they are trash for Biden & great for Trump!”
I’m sure it’s not her first embarrassing finish.
Useful idiot discovers she’s not useful anymore.
