Quote:Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is calling for nationalizing large swaths of the U.S. economy in the name of expanding freedom.

Speaking Saturday at a rally for Bernie Sanders — where the freshman congressman offered him her endorsement — AOC said she doesn’t want the private sector to be in charge of her life, so we should have “public owned” systems instead.

“I don’t know about you, but I don’t want Mark Zuckerberg making decisions over my life,” AOC said. “I don’t know about you, but the Waltons have already been making decisions over our lives and what we got was nothing.”

“We need to build a mass movement in America have centered on working-class, poor, middle class,” she said. “One that is actively anti-racist, that is rooted in principles of universality. Everybody has a right to health care. Everybody has a right to an education. One that is rooted in principles of cooperation, that not only racism but misogyny, anti-queer discrimination, we have to have those principles drive us forward because the future is in a public system, a publicly owned system.”

“Because we need to take power over our lives again,” she emphasized as part of her call for greater government management of American society.

“We need a United States that really, truly, authentically is operated, owned, and decided by working in all people in the United States of America,” she said. “It is multi-racial, multi-centered, multi-gendered, multi-generational, and multi-geographic. We have to come together, not ignoring our differences, but listening to them, prioritizing them, understanding injustice, understanding that we evolved in a context that involved slavery, Jim Crow, mass incarceration, and the reality we have today."

That kind of wisdom must have it roots in a SPECIAL place.

AOC. Head of the National Socialists.



Do they realize they are Fascists?

You can't package and sell "dumb" any better than that!

Every time she opens her mouth my mind sees a Chimp in the chair at a missile launch site and it's playing with the switches on the ignition panel. Then I ask myself "With people like her in government what could possibly go wrong?"

Unfortunately, JR, there are folks out there that think she's pretty smart and would still vote for her. Who wouldn't want to have all those nice things. I'd like a Maserati but is it really something I could afford?

She should stick to things she knows, you know, like mixing drinks.

Well public education made her possible. It's probably why she promotes it. If her electorate had been properly educated she would still be tending bar.

You guys would badly miss her if she were to disappear from the media spotlight. There is no one more effective than Bolshevik Barbie at illustrating the economic rot and core envy inherent in socialism.

AOC needs to be a talisman tied around the neck of every office-seeking Democrat, until that party wakes up and comes out loudly against socialist-oriented policies.

The only thing more frightening than those statements is that there are voters who actually support them.

Did she miss some words here?

Also, how do you prioritize our differences?

Quote:“Because we need to take power over our lives again,” she emphasized as part of her call for greater government management of American society.

So in her mind... We need to take power over our lives... by giving up more power to the gov.


That same government who she likes to claim put Jim Crow laws in place... The same government who has oppressed black and brown people for centuries... This is the government she wants to give power to...

Logic and common sense aren’t really a part of the Democratic platform

So let me get this straight...

By giving the government more control over my life, I have more freedom?

That is the secret sauce?

Ummmmm ok?
