Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party…to our horror. She’s pushing for the Green New Deal (or scam), which is the Americanized version of the Great Leap Forward. The elimination of the combustion engine, economic assistance for the lazy who don’t want to work, the mass genocide of cows because they fart too much, and the upgrading of every building in America to fit some energy efficient code, along with the destruction of structures that cannot be upgraded. Oh, and we’re going to get off fossil fuels in a decade, have a federal jobs guarantee, free college, and Medicare for All. It’s a $90+ trillion project aimed at one thing: the destruction of the United States of America.
The Left loves her; she’s one of its many faces on the Hill. She also fights back on social media, stands by her positions, and couldn’t care less what the Right thinks about her. She has grassroots gusto as well. In some ways, AOC is the left-wing version of Donald Trump, which I know has some folks worried about when she approaches the age where she can run for president. Well, her stock is declining. In fact, her approval ratings have dropped by 15 points in the past six months. I was never a fan of attacking AOC on everything, which is what the Left does with Trump, partially contributing to his 2016 win. Conservative media mocked how she dressed, how she couldn’t find an apartment and her old college dancing videos. I get it, but they also make her a sympathetic character. Now, attacks on her when she’s pushing trash policy should be pervasive, vicious, and unrelenting, and she’s been talking policy since she came to D.C. She’s also been defending anti-Semites within her party but that’s a different matter.
As she continues to make waves in Washington, her numbers have dipped and it seems her affinity for radical far left views is scaring Independents away from her, which contribute to depreciating her stock (via NTK Network):
In early September 2018, Gallup polled Americans on their opinion of the millennial Democrat. According to the poll, 24 percent had a favorable view, 26 held a negative view, and 50 percent said they had never heard of or did not have an opinion of Ocasio-Cortez.
By late February 2019, Ocasio-Cortez won the general election, was sworn in, and those numbers changed dramatically. The most recent Gallup poll showed 31 percent of respondents now have a favorable view of her, but 41 percent said they have a negative view, and only 29 percent said they had no opinion or hadn’t heard of her.
In other words, her negative numbers shot up 15 percentage points in less than six months.
While it’s true that a big factor in Ocasio-Cortez’s drop in approval is Republicans solidifying their negative views, independents have also turned against the New York Democrat. She held a net positive rating (+2) among independents in September. By February, that rating dropped 7 points to a net negative rating of -5.
Now, as NTK and Gallup noted, this doesn’t mean she’s finished for re-election. She’ll win if she runs again, but these dropping favorables will impact how effective she is as a lawmaker. Pushing plans that are unaffordable, defending anti-Semites, and chasing Amazon away from New York, which would’ve created jobs is one way to kill your approval numbers. Also, going after organizations that had nothing to do with horrible tragedies, like the recent shooting attacks in New Zealand, where gunmen killed close to 50 people at two separate mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. AOC just had to do her part as a left-winger and take a swipe at the National Rifle Association…because in whack lefty land—they’re the personification of evil, though they’re one of the oldest civil rights organizations in this country (via The Hill):

She’s too stupid to be an idiot.
“Congressional Barbie’s” antics have finally begun to grow boring, and thin. The media has pulled her string one too many times, and the little “record” is stuck.
She is one of those that people listen to her, they get embarrassed for her...whether it’s a democrat, or Republican.
She has completed her bottle rocket flight, and exploded in a bright, but fizzling light.
Michael Moore took on the automotive industry 30 years ago and auto plants moved to Mexico.
AOC took on Amazon and Amazon said ‘bye-bye New York’... anyone backing AOC now is nuts.
Thank God for Trump... Amazon would leave and move to Mexico if it weren’t for Trump putting the screws to companies moving overseas...
12 years is their new slogan, scaring the s**t out of their voters. Next year it will be 12 more years, in 12 years it will be 12 years. They will NEVER admit they are wrong.
Oregon was able to muster the required signatures to get DL’s for illegals on the ballot. 2/3rds of Oregon voters voted no drivers license for illegals. Governor Brown our own bisexual Yogi, disagrees and is giving illegals drivers licenses.
How can you be so mean to someone with decent-sized hooters? Just because she’s an idiot? You mean-spirited conservatives!/s
Oh, wait. Maybe they’re just hankies stuffed in a trainer bra. Never mind. Razz away.
Where’s the ice age we were promised in the winter of ‘77-’78? It was imminent, inevitable, and all the fashionable scientists were swearing to it.
She’s p!ssing off Nancy, and she’s going to make an example of her. That’s why the slush fund story has surfaced, and why the national polls are “souring”. Who does a national poll on a freshman Congress-person, anyway.
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. She wasn’t even born in 1972, so “Little Milton” could not have gotten her pregnant. Perhaps that was her grandmother?
Driver’s licenses are issued by states, but he could have the AG get serious about enforcing proof of citizenship requirements on employers, and prosecuting violators. That’s been on the books since 1986.
Danson’s “prophecy” about the oceans was 30-ish years ago...
And what about the professors and others running the unis? They still get to keep their cars?
What beauty she has will fade quickly. You can see it already. And you can tell what she is, just by looking at her. She does not connand respect, she commands the unthinking mob.
Our hot water heater broke down, we have been without hot water for four days. It reminds me of that old song “You don’t miss your water till your well runs dry”. If AOC was really earnest about her green new deal she should go without hot water for a week. Put it on facebook.
This is why they want to bring the voting age down to 16. The younger and more inexperienced the voters the better for the dems.
Hi.
I’m not sure if Occasional-Cortex actually uses her cortex.
She should thank G-d she has a medulla oblongatta. Otherwise she would have to remember to breathe.

She told the truth about the Democrats. She told what they actually stand for versus what they say they stand for before they wanted or cared that it be known. So, in their opinion she has to go.
You better believe she will not go quietly and she has several boxes she can check which will bring out a large group of angry activists because she is a woman, a person of color, an environmentalist and a socialist. These people are not the patient type.
