She is a true Klepto-Socialist, she refuses to live under socialism, while seeing it enforced on others. "At the end of the night, when it came time to split the $560 in tips she had gotten at the bar, Ocasio-Cortez gave the waitress only $50. After the waitress complained to her manager, her take was doubled to $100, a source said." https://pagesix.com/2018/07/01/ex-co-worker-no-fan-of-democrat-darling-alexandria-ocasio-cortez/?_ga=2.173030507.997089440.1530550894-1340464297.1461086823 |

I don't disagree at all with your overall message or position. All I was suggesting was that the transition of power from old guard to communist firebrand is not a done deal and is going to fuck up their overall execution badly for a while. It's a major party split. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quoted: BS. Sanders came close to pulling it off. Until I see really convincing evidence otherwise, Sanders and Occasio-Cortez are the face of the Democrat Party. For Democratic Socialists to take the lead, there has to be a power shift in the party. Communism or entrenched cronyism with the old cast of characters. Pick one. I'm not personally sure that the old guard is just going to shuffle off saying, We had a good run, your turn ... Gen Xers and Millennials are reaching positions of power. The 60s are oger and have been. All I was suggesting was that the transition of power from old guard to communist firebrand is not a done deal and is going to fuck up their overall execution badly for a while. It's a major party split. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
she didn't run to "represent her community." she ran for the same reason most politicians and almost all democrats do - power. money. status. her own mother said it herself, she has visions of being the president of the united states. and our country's political climate is so fucked up and bizarre that it just might happen one day. From barista to the fast track for wealth, prosperity, and power. Even if she doesn't become president, and we will be watching that closely, like Obama, she just won the life lottery. She is now part of the machine where one hand washes the other. I really, really despise these people. |

It says allot that she graduated BU and was tending bar at 28. Not that a hot woman can't make decent coin in a major city as a bar tender. She is a wolf in sheeps clothing and blue pillers haven't the faintest idea. I am surprised some dark filth has not come out about her yet.

That Fox News graphic that's getting so much play - I don't get the brouhaha.
Medicare for all Great. Sign me up. Tax employers and employees at a rate of ~80% current health insurance premiums to pay for it. Sorry about the insurance company jobs. Housing as a human right OK, but... 1) who pays for it and 2) what about the significant number of people that prefer to live under a bridge? Federal jobs guarantee I do not even know what this means. A return of the CCC or similar? We can't give everyone a TSA job. Gun control/AWB No. Criminal justice reform/end private prisons Great. Especially if it means the end of the ridiculous War on Drugs. Private prisons are a terrible idea. Immigration reform/abolish ICE We do need immigration reform. I imagine there are a wide array of ideas as to what that should look like and I don't know if Id' agree with her on the details but on the larger point of "we need to fix our immigration system", I agree. Abolish ICE? And what? Rename it INS? What about that Federal Jobs Guarantee? Solidarity with PR Is this not a thing already? Mobilizing against climate change Pollution is bad, mmkay? Nobody disputes this. The question is how much economic pain you are willing to endure to make the gains you think are necessary. For most folks, that answer is "very, very little." Clean campaign finance Citizens United is right up there with Kelo when it comes to shitty SCOTUS decisions. Higher Ed for all Great. Also TANSTAAFL Womens rights Because they don't have any now Support LGBTQIA+ I do not even know what this means any more. Support seniors Medicare and SS Retirement are already the biggest items in the federal budget. What more do you want to do? They are already the highest budget priority we have. Curb Wall St. gambling/restore Glass-Steagall I dunno about Glass-Steagall, but some Wall St. shenanigans are no good. So hooray. Get along with your bad self. I'm just not seeing how most of this graphic is all that controversial. Certainly they could have found 'worse' positions to paint her with. |

The fact that leftists are still hopping mad over it is delicious. |

No she won't. She's secured her seat since thr primary was the real race in her district. All she has to do is promise the world and claim outside forces have blocked her to bring progress.

Columnist Froma Harrop, in today's Providence Journal, claims that "Ocasio-Cortez Is Off To A Great Start", and then mentions how she was "unwise" to include a point on her agenda concerning abolishing ICE. That agenda point was quickly disavowed by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, as well it should have been, because at last polling, a sizeable majority of Americans do not favor such a move.
Why am I repeating the above? Because Froma Harrop is flat-out wrong about 99% of the time (my actual count), and this is certainly one of those times. |
