Conservative critics, especially online, routinely reference Venezuela's dire state of affairs when arguing against progressive left policies.

Yeah, those folks should really stop doing that.

Don’t cry for me Venezuela
The truth is i never left you
Even while you were eating zoo animals
And wiping your ass with you hands

I was with you...I was with you.

"...notched a handful of high-profile Democratic primary wins in 2018..."

Name one.

The Left thinks that adding “democratic” in front of “socialist” somehow makes socialism different from that imposed on Venezuela, Cuba, or North Korea.

Psst, Leftist knotheads: Socialism is socialism, and it inevitably leads to tyranny, scarcity, and misery...which, come to think, is exactly what you want.

I think the RNC should be quiet and let her win. She is a stupid gift that keeps giving.

There is a whole theme park in Rotterdam with mini Maduros.

“A Bronx native with Puerto Rican roots,”

She can’t even speak Spanish or cook pasteles. A total fraud.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not a dictator. I’ve never seen anyone suggest that she is. She’s a naive liberal who is just entering politics and making a lot of mistakes as she does. I actually have some sympathy for her. She has been grabbed by the press on the Left and turned into the poster girl for the Progressive Left. And the Right has played her up just as much to turn her into a laughingstock for her ignorance and mistakes. I don’t like it. I think everyone should dial down the volume on her. Let her run, turn her back into the local candidate that she is. Let her make her mistakes as a novice candidate and don’t pounce on her for every mistake.

Having said that, if the Liberal press plays up Socialism in their stories on her, it is very appropriate to tie her policies to what his happening in Venezuela. Her policies cause what is happening in Venezuela. But let’s keep the focus on her policies, not her personally.

She's horrid.

We don't need another loudmouth, unprincipled, populist, emotional, uninformed, inexperienced loser in American politics or in the WH.

However, as long as she's photogenic... she has a good chance with Liberal voters. THEIR bonehead lack of common sense (or even basic discernment) assures the DNC that there will ALWAYS be a chance for them to regain the WH.

It doesn't take much to convince greedy, uneducated, lazy people that they are being cheated, exploited, oppressed and underserved. When some photogenic bimbo comes along... it's pure magic for the DNC!!

How we survived 8 years with of one ‘American Robespierre’ is sheer luck ... I don't know if the US can survive another one!

Hmmm. Not sure I would do that from the RNC. Unless maybe they hope to turn ALL Dems into Maduro. That might work.
