Title: AOC In High DUdgeon
Post by: zeitgeist on December 06, 2018, 06:19:02 PM

Yes, America's Own Communist is incensed by the introduction of Corporate types into her fantasy world. 
And the legions of DUmmies are wet and droopy as she stomps her foot and shakes her finger. 
This is going to be better than Fitzmas and Muellermas and well, just everything in between.  She is going to sweep the 2020 elections.  Oh wait, she is too young to run for Prez.

Here are a couple samples:

Our “bipartisan” Congressional orientation is cohosted by a corporate lobbyist group. Other members have quietly expressed to me their concern that this wasn’t told to us in advance.

Lobbyists are here. Goldman Sachs is here. Where‘s labor? Activists?Frontline community leaders?

'Lobbyists Are Here. Goldman Sachs Is Here. Where's Labor? Activists?' Tlaib and Ocasio-Cortez Pull Back Curtain on Corporate-Sponsored Freshman Orientation
From the article:
Pulling back the curtain on the ostensibly "bipartisan" orientation for newly elected members of Congress at Harvard's Kennedy School in Boston, Reps.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) informed the public through live social media updates on Thursday that—contrary to the ideologically neutral advertising—the private conference featured a heavy dose of speeches by corporate CEOs and completely shut out organized labor and members of the progressive community.
"Our 'bipartisan' congressional orientation is co-hosted by a corporate lobbyist group," Ocasio-Cortez noted, likely referring to the Koch-funded American Enterprise Institute, which is co-sponsoring the event. "Other members have quietly expressed to me their concern that this wasn't told to us in advance. Lobbyists are here. Goldman Sachs is here. Where's labor? Activists? Frontline community leaders?"

One co-sponsor is a Koch Brothers front group disguised as a research institute.

And labor leaders are missing?

She should run for president in 2020 (too young, I know) just so she can lay the groundwork to lose in 2024.

No kidding. AOC is such an over educated idiot that it wouldn't surprise me one bit if she tweets "Brawndo has what plants crave....electrolytes".

What a moron.
By the time she's old enough to run for Prez, she'll have long since been voted out of office.
Her stupidity and self- righteousness is causing her to turn on her fellow Dems, the people she ought to be kissing up to if she wants to keep her bony butt in Congress.
