Goya Foods trollls AOC. Names her "employee of the month" after her boycott

Their sales went up 1000%???

WTF?

Hilarious.

Other companies should try to get the benefit of an AOC boycott. She’s poison across America.

Goya is cheap and nasty, I avoided them before the boycott.

I like my representatives with a little more gravitas. But you know, people pay her to stunt like this, so she’s gonna.

AOC is the new Hillary Clinton.

She'll never be President.

The right HATES her, and you can see that they come out in force against her.

Not sure what that's all about, but she's already tainted by them.

She’s brown and she’s a woman.

Um, the reason their sales are up is that preppers have buying beans in bulk because of COVID.

Rudy Giuliani must eat a lot of Goya beans.

[quote]She’s poison across America.

R3 = Deplorable who thinks universal healthcare and Green business is poison.

She's a Caucasian Puerto Rican, R7.

[quote] Um, the reason their sales are up is that preppers have buying beans in bulk because of COVID.

No way, R8.

These are white people who would never eat garbanzo beans, black beans, or pigeon peas.

They bought this shit for one reason: as a "fuck you" to AOC.

She has the mark of Hillary.

Deplorables HATE her.

R8 - why meal prep during a pandemic? Not like you are going to go anywhere that you need to pack ahead.

Anyway, why Goya when the plain wrap is probably just as good and, maybe cheaper?

I don’t think people hate her as much as they think she’s a bad joke. If she had any real power, people would probably hate her, but as long as she’s on the far fringe, she‘s just mocked.

Why have Republicans targeted her?

There are Democrats out there who are MUCH farther to the left than AOC.

AOC must be fuming about this.

lol.

The brand is privately held, meaning they can say their sales figures are whatever the hell they want. I don't buy it. I like AOC and hopes she keeps it up.

Comparing her to Hillary is just dumb. I guess because she’s a woman and some people don’t like her. That is where it ends.

Hillary is experienced and wise — and doesn’t have to stunt.

Anyone selling canned goods saw a big increase in sales. Shoppers cleaned the stores out. You couldn’t buy soup or beans in Walmart.

I changed brands and so did many of my friends. My local (liberal area) market always has Goya on sale now. Full shelves. The other brand's beans are always almost gone. They might have gotten a quick bump in sales, but they lost many customers forever.

Every political thread that's mentioned a female politician today has had trolls comparing them to Hillary, it's weird.

Goya never sold a lot here in town (Kansas), we have El Paso and store brands for the gringos and La Preferida for everyone else.

In fact, I just looked it up and black beans and garbanzos of every other brand are all much cheaper than Goya. Kroger is 88 cents, La Preferida $1.09, Goya is $1.79. Yikes, lower quality, bunch of bigots, AND more expensive.

There is no such thing as bad publicity. Keep raking Goya over the coals, AOC, and then sit back and watch sales go up.

Actually, this is very funny! And no matter your prejudices, making her Employee of the Month is absolutely hilarious!

Hilary Clinton won the popular vote. That means that more people voted for Hilary than voted for Trump.

R26 we're still talking about that, hunh? "I was robbed, I tell you, I was robbed".

It happened, we suffered the consequences. It's time to move on.

And Ivanka was so thirsty ...

I wonder why everyone on the conservative right seems to delight in being a trollish asshole? Maybe it's because to be conservative, you have to be a repulsive dick and you think rubbing something in people's faces is, you know, fun. Personally, I don't think AOC gives a shit about this Trumpstain ass. But all you deplorables can gorge on these shitty beans and stop up the toilet in your low-rent RV.

Carbs are for trash anyway.

[quote]Comparing her to Hillary is just dumb. I guess because she’s a woman and some people don’t like her. That is where it ends.

That may be true (and really, is there anyone that fits the archetype of Disliked American Female Politician as well as HRC?), but when AOC decides to run for President, her prep team needs to look at Hillary, how the Republican side had been relentless for decades in their roasting of her, and formulate a strategy to counter that - because it's pretty much guaranteed that they [bold]will[/bold] be just as ruthless when it's AOC's turn up to bat.

If you live in glass houses, be prepared for the stones. This effort by hers was a failure. She has many good characteristics, but in this case, she did not read the Latino community correctly.

Similar can be said of the Democrats in the election. Overall, they did ok in getting the Latino vote, but in places like Florida, it was a disaster.

"This effort by hers..."

oh dear.

Cancel the cunt.

She's useless.

We Democrats need better representation in Congress, and not just the "flavor of the week."

Oh boya.

You're fucking useless, R34. Cancel your Trumpist ass. Go suck off a Proud Boy.

Fuck you, Mamasita R36.

"Mamasita..."

oh dear...

[quote]She’s brown and she’s a woman.

No. She is a white woman.

As white as any southern European. By her looks she could easily be French.

She is the daughter of a successful architect. She grew up in Yorktown Heights. Racial makeup 90.49% White. The median income for a household $108,648, and the median income for a family $137,580.

But yeah...lets keep the myth of poor brown "AOC from the block" going.

I love how AOC-haters love to think they know that she's SECRETLY A RICH WHITE LADY. Like it's not possible for a working-class Latina to ascend the heights she has. She has to be really one of you. Fucking pathetic.

R40 She IS a rich white lady.

White and semi beautiful, growing up in a white well- to- do suburban town to parents who were professionals.

Very privileged.

My suspicion is the Trump cult went out and bought Goya’s shitty products en mass when AOC told people not to.

That spike won’t last.

It’s clear though that she has no idea what’s she’s doing. That’s to be expected for such a raw rep as her, but she has a giant spotlight turned on her (mostly by herself), so she really needs to be a little more careful what she says and does.

masse

Trump can just dump Goya beans straight into his diaper. Cut out the in between part.

R41, she's not white and didn't grow up as rich as you're making her out to be

But you know who did grow up rich? Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump....

R39 she doesn't look French. If I saw her without knowing who she was I'd assume she was Latin (which she is)

Funny how Republicans keep electing guys who were born filthy rich like Dubya and Trump

She has a big mouth. She supported Bernie and then did some damage to the Democrats. what's to like? not only has she Not proven herself but seems to require almost as much attention as Trump.

I guess this is part of the "necessary effort" she feels is needed to reach out to Hispanic voters.

[italic]Si es Goya, tiene que ser bueno.

Si es Trump, tiene que ser corrupto.[/italic]

For those Goya virgins, the first is their long-standing marketing slogan. The second is AOC's response to Ivanka, the purported U.S. government official, who was on Twitter promoting Goya beans. (For the single language folks, Google translate is a wonderful thing.)

R48, yawn. Stop posting GOP propaganda. Most Latinos support Democrats. Cubans from Florida don't represent all Latino people.

AOC still said it, despite your dismissal of it as "GOP propaganda".

R51, where did she say Latinos hate her? The Democrats "vulnerability" with Dems is a media-created lie. Most Latinos do not vote GOP.

Who said Latinos hate her??? That's not the point being made.

If she thinks Democrats need to put more of an effort with Hispanics, there's nothing stopping her from leading the charge.

R41 thinks he's a clever shit-stirrer but really he's just a tiresome dum-dum Go back to jacking it to manga.

[quote]Their sales went up 1000%???

My guess is conservatives organized a buy-cott. That often happens when boycotts of Israeli goods are announced. Israel supporters will go out and buy up the boycotted items, so that the boycott is counterproductive.

[quote] But yeah...lets keep the myth of poor brown "AOC from the block" going.

Lets be clear.

The only one perpetuating the "myth of poor brown AOC from the block," is AOC herself.

It's how she got elected.

If people really knew where she came from, she couldn't pretend to be "of the people."

Bullshit on the 1000% increase - they're selling 10 TIMES as much? No way.

This is all lies from Trumpsters.

Now everyone is trying to get AOC endorsement.

Let's be clear - R56 has zero idea what AOC's pre-fame life was like and is relying on Fox and OANN to tell him what to think.

AOC is a ratched cunt!

She and the rest of the Cunt Squad make the entire Democratic Party look bad.

It's so funny the way you right-wing loons on this site are OK with rich boy Donald calling himself the "blue collar billionaire" but heaven forfend AOC trying to be anything more than a maid or a bartender. You are are transparent snobs (even though you're probably poor) and maybe even a little racist!

Alert to Dataloungers: Descendants of Spaniards, such as non Black Puerto Rican’s, are white. AOC is white. Many Latinos are white.

I like AOC, because she speaks her mind and advocates for what she believes. She is white and not from a poor background. Which is fine.

The ironic part is that no employer is going to be able to get any work out of her. She just dances and does social media when she should be working on suing Boston University for handing her a degree in Economics despite her lack of understanding of the subject’s basic concepts.

Rashida Tlaib is also white and not poor.

The other two in the Squad, black and from poor backgrounds.

Wow the snooty Trumpist shitstain sexists who infest this board are all up in arms. Gosh guys, threatened much?

I like her too R62, and I think it is important for both parties to have members who are not extreme, but have “out of the box” ideas.

Right wing media though has, successfully, portrayed her as the future of the Democratic Party, which she isn’t (at least for now).

She is a representative, so whatever she does to fight for her district, more power to her, but she is hurting her party as a whole. This isn’t really her fault, because Fox News gives her far more airtime than her position deserves.

I guess I’m frustrated that networks don’t hammer on conservatives that put forth some really unpalatable shit.

OP is....to put it kindly...disturbed. Ignore and check it out. So many threads he creates to troll.

R62 - she is not white. Puerto Ricans are a mix of black, native, and Spanish settlers. As are many Latinos.

She is not white and no one would call her white or confuse her with Martha Stewart or any of the other white people in Congress any time soon.

So if you aren’t as white as Martha Stewart you aren’t white? Sorry but she looks Spanish, and would be considered white in PR. Are you super old and think Jews and Italians aren’t white either?

I know about the demographic mix in PR. Individuals aren’t necessarily a mix of white, black and native just because of the existence of multiple heritages.

R69 - ask her if she's white. Just because PR has a tradition of calling people white if they have any white lineage (including people with mixed ancestry), it doesn't mean that they are white by the US definition.

They used the opposite definition than the US - any drop of white blood made them white as opposed to the States with the one drop of black blood rule.

If you think her experience in the US has been that of a white person, then I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell to you.

R56 I know that when AOC was in high school. She called herself Sandy and listen to my chemical romance.

I know "Ted" Cruz' given name is Rafael and his family nickname is Felito. Will you please go bother him now, r71?

"As white as any southern European. By her looks she could easily be French"

R39 LOL France is the country located in the center of Europe and not in the south. She does not look at all like French women. Like really not. She could pass for a Spaniard from the south of Spain (which is in the south of Europe), and even the Spaniards don't have such brown skin. She's a pretty woman, no doubt about that but she does not have the structures of southern European faces .

Southern Europe: Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Spain etc ... I don't have the impression that AOC looks like Macron, who is really a French man. You Americans have a real problem with geography. She looks like a Latino from South America. Nothing like a Southern European.

French women: Catherine Deneuve, Isabelle Huppert, Laeticia Casta, Brigitte Bardot, Jeanne Moreau, Juliette Binoche, Marion Cotillard, Eva Green, Isabelle Adjani, Léa Seydoux.

American be like " AOC could easily be French"

Bwahahaha!

R74 The funniest thing in this is the "easily" part. Some people really need to travel outside the US

AOC dad doesn't look like Emmanuel Macron

No he didn't. Sergio Cortez died in 2008, he was an Architect according to Wikipedia.

R76 Well not really. In France there are 4 seasons. With climate change things will gradually change but at the moment the weather is only hot during the summer in July and August, unlike in South American countries. Even in the south of France it is very, very, very rare to see native French people being as brown as Sergio Cortez is. Those who have the same skin color as her in France are Arab or Turkish immigrants. In the North of France, winter temperatures can drop to -10 degrees. To have the beautiful golden color of AOC you would need a very hot climate all year round. This is not the case in France.

[quote]Southern Europe: Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Spain etc ... I don't have the impression that AOC looks like Macron, who is really a French man. You Americans have a real problem with geography. She looks like a Latino from South America. Nothing like a Southern European.

I'd say the bottom half of France is in Southern Europe. Someone explained to me that if they grow olives and use olive oil, it's definitely Southern Europe.

By most of these metrics, France is Southern Europe.

r78 Macron does not look like the typical Frenchman. Here's a stereotypical depiction:

1000% increase in sales. Really. I hardly think of white, racist deplorables being their marketing demographics. I tried to boycott the brand, but my Safeway remodeled their store, and I bought about 10 little cans of Goya's diet mango juice at half-price, because I LOVE mango anything. And they are delicious.

So, according to that map, Russia, a nation that sweats vodka, is hard working? Hahahahahaha.

She should go unionize their employees or work with their union if they have one already.

At least she's not a white girl PRETENDING to be Hispanic!

Is Ivanka fucking the Goya guy for money now too?
