Everything free in America (AOC)

[zeitgeist]

For a small fee in America

In keeping with Coach's recent musical theme...

I offer the new West Side Story.

Take a trip down memory lane with AOC the great Hispanic Hope of the Progressive Socialist Party (formerly the Democrats AKA DNC)

Put your seats in the full upright position and fasten your seatbelts, we could be in for a rough landing this November.

I was a big fan, but Ocasio-Cortez is starting to get on my nerves.
I wasn't happy to hear she was going in to Kansas with Bernie Sanders to campaign against Lacy Clay, a progressive CBC member, but I'm furious that she's campaigning against Sharice Davids, a progressive gay, Native American woman.

I expect this from Sanders, but Ocasio-Cortez really needs to get some better advice and chill.

 Continue to be disappointed in Ocasio-Cortez
1. For lying about Crowley and then not apologizing
2. For rallying for Brent Welder (white dude) over Sharice David (native american woman Lgbtq) after criticizing Gillibrand for supporting Crowley over her.

Sounds like there may be a little trouble on the West Side!.   Comments are many and varied.  Take a stroll but look out for the Jets!!    


Wait until they figure out how many votes Princess OC actually got.  {not really a landslide unless you are LBJ}

We're makin a list, checkin' it twice. 

[SVPete]

That female should don a clown nose before opening her mouth in public, she's so monumentally dumb.

[FlaGator]

I love how they make note of race and gender indicating that it is as important as ideology. Sad little people.

194. Black, Native American, Jewish white, Hispanic, black.

Just made me smile. We are America's RACIST party.

There, I fixed it.

It is fun to watch them eat each other, they don't even use Katsup!!

a progressive gay, Native American woman.

Maybe if pocahontas starts eating some tuna taco's she will have a shot at the top slot.   

[freedumb2003b]

That baby has gotten LONG!

If I see any good one's I'll bring them over.

139. She lied that he didn't concede, she lied that he didn't endorse her run. And she fundraised off of

that. She fundraised on those lies.

Isn't that SOP for democrats?

150. At at most 19 years of age

as what a gopher? 

Ocasio-Cortez - 28 years old age in 2009 18 to 19
Ted Kennedy deceased since 2009

Maybe she was polishing his knob.

22. Thought there was a rule about speaking positve regards

Democratic party candidates.

But as you know and Orwell pointed out in Animal Farm, some are more equal than others.

That may be the main reason why we lose elections we should win.

Yup, and you are to stupid to admit it.

That female should don a clown nose before opening her mouth in public, she's so monumentally dumb.

The lights might be on, but they are all 4-watt bulbs!

Boston University should be ashamed of their alumna...but maybe they aren't!   Any History class of the world in the last 150 years should demonstrate the failure - complete failure - of Socialism/Communism.  Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea, Eastern Europe, etc. etc. and more recently Nicaragua and Venezuela.

Nort only is she ignorant of History, but apparently does not even pay attention to the news out of Central and South America on the collapse of Socialist/Communist states.  And keep in mind that Socialism/Communism has often been enforced with death penalties...and yet, it fails!!!

I love how they make note of race and gender indicating that it is as important as ideology. Sad little people.

But it is how they are trained to think by the Leftist Professoriat: illogical questions of race, gender, etc. will always have a bearing on e.g. should we build a new bridge across the river here?

"But the Lesbian Indians have been meeting on that riverbank!!!  We have to consult them first!"

216. Choosing a person to be president "because she's female" is as sexist as doing it "cause he's male"

OOHHH NNNOOESS!!!  That is NOT what DUpipo think!  Voting BECAUSE of sex and/or race is the ONLY reason to do it!

11. People here make some good points.

This might be a case of Our Revolution "rushing a prospect," as the baseball term goes.

They got so excited over the high-profile win and her star potential that they just threw her into the majors immediately.

In baseball, this usually is avoided because it almost never goes well for either the team or the player's career.

Probably a career-ender.  Which is too bad b/c she is next mad maxine and we need that slot filled with someone equally brain-dead.

13. I see her as a divider

I have no use for her.

HERESY!  Thous shalt never speak ill of the dark-skinned!!  No matter HOW white-bread her upbringing was!

She's certainly easier on the eyes than Mad Maxine.

[freedumb2003b]

She's certainly easier on the eyes than Mad Maxine.

In that "racially ambivalent tampon commercial" way I suppose.
 

[franksolich]

She's certainly easier on the eyes than Mad Maxine.

Actually, some of us see a microscopic--microscopic--bit of humanity in Mad Maxine, but none at all in the demonic-eyed She Guevera.

Remember in 2016 when they drove away the Bern-outs for refusing to come together for the good of the party?

[Tess Anderson]

dirt dumb

dirt dumb

Now why did you go insulting dirt, Tess. Dirt is useful, e.g. for growing food.

And for burying $hit. Just saying.

That look says 'batshit crazy' to me.

So in other words ........ she looks like a typical lefty
