Ocasio-Cortez is an airhead, but I think she's a very dangerous airhead. Most of the millennials I know are crazy about her. (And by millennials I mean actual millennials, not the generation younger than that.) As much as I'd like to believe that the Democrat establishment will rein her in and solve this problem for us, I'm not convinced that demented Pelosi is still up to the task.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggests the state of America is ‘10% better than garbage’ and implies former President Reagan and Roosevelt were racist.
This woman is NUTS ............
Every time she talks it’s another nail in the coffin for the DNC.
I think the strategy now is to have someone ready in the spring of 2020 to campaign in AOC’s district and take her down in the primary. It wouldn’t surprise me if Joe Crowley is brought back, and given heavy funding. But there’s significant damage done to the mainstream Democrats between now and Nov 2020...by AOC. You are correct, in that Pelosi at this point in her life, simply doesn’t have the stamina to weed out issues like this.
as she draws a bigger audience than any Democrat 2020 hopeful)..
Minorities are treated like “garbage”?
So YES, the 30ish and under crowd will LOVE her for the most part. But again, I have ONE nephew, and ONLY one, who leans left of center, but even he is smart enough to know their policies will bankrupt America so he voted for Trump.
So let’s not say it’s a given that she gets 80 percent of the millennial vote if she runs in 2024.
She is also turning off a HUGE part of the independent vote and undecided vote because these people are not looking for a psychotic, pretty obviously stupid extremist to be president.
And chances are GREAT that she will say more and more absurd things that will force dems to deal with her.
If working class whites were turned off in 2016 and went for Trump, they are REALLY lost to dems at every level if AOC is the face of the party.
And I don’t think she helps with the spanish vote at all.
Dems can’t win in this country without at the LEAST a split white vote.
I don’t see them getting that anymore.
Between AOC and the Jew hater, there are more being turned off than turned on by them, IMHO.
Such erudition.
Have we forgotten the paid Bernie crowds ?
Do you think they went away ?
There's always someone in the college / university crowd willing to be paid to play at politics.
Keep trhem stoned, drunk and laid and they'll do ANYTHING.
Come to think of it, most less than cerebral Americans operate the same way.
This woman is too dumb for words. FDR’s insistence that his programs included blacks is why the democrats to this day get nearly 90% of the black vote to this day....
She is a product of what happens when you teach critical theory instead of critical thinking... and sadly 2 generations or so now have been taught this nonsense.
The Democratic leadership in the House is beyond being able to reign her in.
Traditional threats of withholding this, rewarding that etc. will not work on this member.
She’s gone from being a wonder in who is she that she beat him to a joke to a threat. Is she a threat? No, but like German politicians in the 30’s that thought they could rein in Hitler and control him she’s in the same vein.
The Democrats avoided their revolution in 2016 when they stacked the deck against Bernie so they could coronate Hillary. Now their civil war is happening and the old methods will not work on the new generation.
When she can raise millions at the drop of a hat, draw crowds like a midnight rave and her followers would wear brown shirts and line people up in front of ditches if asked she’s dangerous. The left no longer has independent thought and that’s the danger. All it takes is a brain dead moron to lead the zombies.
This Marxist nitwit is really full of....herself. I can’t imagine how excruciatingly painful it would be to listen to her drone on and on in her childish diction for a full hour The indoctrination of millennials has been a smashing success.
Shudder. I always thought that AOC was only a costal threat. Austin is only 40 miles away. It’s hard to believe she could get this close.
Look....we’re talking Austin!
That city hardly resembles most of Texas.......I actually have a relative who moved there years ago, married a liberal.....and now they’re both lost in Babylon
Sad!
That crowd hearing AOC ate it up!
They hate Donald Trump and they hate us.......but oh they love socialism.
Blah, blah, blah. Planes and ships leave everyday. I care about minorities to the extent that they care about me.
Agree.
Pelosi Galore is definitely *not* up to the task.
AOC (Sandy) is living by the mantra that any publicity is good publicity. She is just throwing crap out there and the media is lapping it up.
BTW, I was initially annoyed by Sandy and her cries for attention until I realized that she will be the biggest tool in getting President Trump re-elected in 2020. Keep it up Sandy.
AOC is a truly dangerous movement leader. She and her followers would joyfully recreate the killing fields of Pol Pot. We would be marched to our deaths to serve her delusional beliefs for the “greater good” and to save the planet.
“Ocasio-Cortez is an airhead, but I think she’s a very dangerous airhead.”
Like it or not, she is the ONLY AMERICAN who can draw crowds as large as Trump draws.
We best not ignore her.
The age factor in the Democrat party today looks like the Soviet Union in the 1970's and 1980's. Eventually they will pay the price.
I just watched Fox report that Bill Nye The Science Guy is hopping on board the Green New Deal train. This grandstanding fool, whose TV show fame burned out like a tungsten light bulb, is trying to resurrect his fame and fortune days. The CO2 hysteria is a Marxist fraud to redistribute wealth.
It is ironic that the most essential component to make green plant life is CO2. When you “go Green,” you need CO2. With less CO2 you have less green. The same thing that creates the most CO2 is the same thing that caused life to form on the planet: volcanic emissions of CO2. What keeps the levels of CO2 in balance is the process of photosynthesis in plant life. It is through photosynthesis that all oxygen was created in the atmosphere. If we want to reduce the amount of excessive CO2 produced by man’s energy needs, we should think about restoring the plant loss from the large-scale deforestation happening in the tropics. This is the way we should “go Green.”
