FRANCISCO — By the time Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took the stage in San Francisco on Tuesday night, an adoring crowd of 500 at her sold-out fundraiser — many wearing “Democratic Socialists of America” T-shirts and buttons — were ready for the next revolution to begin.

That’s quite a crowd...
Especially when you add the media bias numbers.
Cuz this generation of socialists knows they can do better than 100 million.
They are going to start with the 60 million Trump supporters.
Shouldn’t she be campaigning in New York?
DSA and GOPt. This are becoming clearer.

LOL
As if in the entire state of CA they could not possibly have scraped together 500 socialists.
Ocasio-Cortez hopes to be the first “Chairman of The United States”
We couldn't ask for more!
Her election in the NY-14 district is guaranteed. She will be going to Washington D.C. What she's doing right now is hobbling the Democrats' chances by campaigning for far-left socialists. It's a joyful thing to behold. It's almost as if her mentor, Bernie Sanders, is taking revenge on the party that screwed him in the primaries.
If we keep the house, someone needs to thank Miss Ocasio-Cortez.
AOC is my new best friend!
Is she Soros granddaughter or just paid by him?
It was a sold out event. I wonder how many thousands were outside hoping to get in?
The All New and Improved Socialism.
Now with more Crazy Eyes!
Hope and change.
How’d that work out last time?
