One of my rules of thumb is that liberals want conservatives to shut up, and conservatives want liberals to keep talking. The more libs babble and the more of their worldview they reveal to the world, the more Americans they alienate on Election Day. And when it comes to driving away prospective voters, nobody's better than the new face of the Democratic Party: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Here's AOC's latest delicious bon mot, courtesy of Rachel Frazin at The Hill:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said this week during an appearance on Ebro in the Morning that marginalized communities have "no choice but to riot..."
Her remarks came during a discussion of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but Ocasio-Cortez clarified that she was talking about marginalized groups more generally.VIDEO segment
"I don't think that by marginalizing Palestinians, you create safety. I believe that injustice is a threat to the safety of all people. Because once you have a group that is marginalized and marginalized and marginalized, then you create a... Once someone doesn't have access to clean water, they have no choice but to riot. Right? And it doesn't have to be that way. And I'm not even talking about Palestinians, I'm talking about communities in poverty in the United States, I'm talking about Latin America, I'm talking about, like, all over the world. And we experienced times like that in our history, in this country. We had riots in 1968, the Bronx was burning. Social destabilization is what happens when people do not have a plan, or feel like there's no vision for their future."That's a U.S. politician saying publicly that not only is it okay for people to riot in the streets, but that they actually have no choice. They're not responsible for their own actions. They have no human agency. They're being controlled by whomever isn't giving them what they want.
And who decides which communities are "marginalized" and which ones aren't? Who grants them such a license to commit violence? Not you or me, bub.
Of course, it's okay for AOC to say such things because she's not a Republican. And besides, hasn't Trump said some stupid things about public violence? Harrumph, harrumph, hand-wave, hand-wave.
You have a choice. You're responsible for your own actions. No matter what idiots like AOC tell you.
P.S. To all you fact-checkers out there: AOC said every word I just quoted. I didn't make any of it up.
She is justifying conservative riots when the socialists steal control...
Trying out for the “Whore of Babylon” position.
Interesting. I’ve been feeling very marginalized lately. She’s giving me the green light.
We had riots in 1968
Because the Democrats Killed MLK who was a Republican, within 24 hours Jesse Jackson and John Lewis dumped the Republican and surrendered to the Party of Slavery MLK spent his Life Fighting against, the DEMOCRAT PARTY!!!
maybe...……………………...but we also have choices.
To level a charge without rebuttal or consequence says a lot.
Accomplices in CONgre$$ and the pre$$. The members do not refute. The press does not refute. The agencies do not refute. The citizens of Texas do not refute. Time for the gallows for our “representatives” in the U.S.A? We, the citizens of the republic, don’t want...
...“concentration camps” in the republic.
We can give them a choice...Nuremberg method, jihadi finalizer, jimmie hodgkinson method.
–That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Who is responsible for the “concentration camps”?
Virtue signaling to violence signaling. It’s just a shot away.

Right, burn down your own neighborhood because you are poor, you have no other choice! How stupid that woman is!
And I have no choice but to defend myself.
In most places around the world they’ll be shot down. Here they will be tolerated and maybe celebrated.
I thought we already saw the real AOC.
Looks like there is at least 3 other levels of Crazy we have yet to see.
“..marginalized communities have “no choice but to riot...”
Then be very, very careful who you try to marginalize...sweetums.
Note to crazed leftists: Don’t forget to credit AOC in your manifestos.
Yep, stupidity must be her middle name.
I remember the LA Watts riots of 1965. The rioters burned a good portion of the businesses then they complained because new business didn’t want to rebuild or locate there.
Not in my neighborhood!

” I’ve been feeling very marginalized lately.”
Fraid not. You don’t get to feel marginalized. You are proclaimed marginalized by our social justice masters. You are a “marginalizER, not “marginalizED. Get it straight!
Can we just go back to the day when AOC was just a brand of an inexpensive computer monitor?
AOC is one of those over-the-top characters who you just KNOW will come to a bad end someday.
But how soon? And in what way?
