Full title: As upstart Ocasio-Cortez hits campaign trail with Bernie Sanders, high profile spurs fears of Dem rift

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is hitting the national campaign trail this week with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to stump for other left-wing candidates, even as the upstart 28-year-old democratic socialist's rising profile continues to rankle top Democrats.

Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are expected to campaign on July 20 for two congressional candidates seeking to unseat Republican incumbents in Kansas: James Thompson in Wichita, and former Sanders delegate Brent Welder in the suburbs of Kansas City.

But Ocasio-Cortez is also set to support several progressives seeking to supplant Democratic incumbents elsewhere -- alarming Democratic leaders and pundits who worry that her rising national profile and far-left politics might fracture the party ahead of critical midterm elections.

I am not so sure there would be a fracture. It might peel off 1 or 2 but deep in the heart is the Ocasio-Cortez mindset of Democrat politics.

Ok, cute biytch and wacky old man, let’s see you go to a socialist country and live NOT as a member of the ruling elite, but as one of the ordinary people.

You know damned well you would not be able to. In fact, you really don’t believe in socialism at all, but you know that millions of ignorant people can be fooled into thinking that you will give them something free, and they will vote for you.

By promising to take Whitey’s money, you can get non-productive parasites to vote for you and put you in power, where you will be living in luxury, with all your needs taken care of, even after your socialist society crumbles and all but the ruling elite are eating cockroaches rather than starve.

Are people really going to vote against prosperity?

I have seen psychological experiments where people have the option to use their time and resources to become wealthy or they can use them to harm others, and most people would rather take others down than build themselves up

Unless we find some way to drill some sense into Millenials people like these will be running the country within two decades.

It is a strange fact that many socialist agitators are the sons and daughters of wealthy parents. Is there something in being from a wealthy family that creates so much guilt that your want to tear down the system that creates wealth?

Fortunately I was born into a poor family and had to work hard for what ever I got. I can appreciate the opportunities our nation provides someone to move up the ladder sort of speak if willing to work hard.

Socialism assumes no one can make it without government fixing the rules. They believe if you become wealthy it was not because of anything you have done but because you cheated so you have to give all you have earned to those too honest to “cheat” or would that be too lazy to work?

There’s that old saying,

If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty, you have no brain.

I think you misfired. UWTUB said she was cute. I said she wasn’t cute.

Personally I think she is at best plain. I give her a 5. It is just that MOST liberal womyn are 2s so by comparison she comes out well.

Not when millennials realize what kind of lives they will lead under the control of those idiots.
