The Blithe Ignorance of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Shows Why Socialism Appeals to Millennials
Conservative Opinion ^ | 21 July 2018 | Editor in Chief

Posted on 07/22/2018 11:19:08 AM PDT by Rummyfan

It sounds like the plot of some brain-dead Hollywood comedy that has already been made too many times:

Movie executive: OK, here’s an idea. You know those geniuses who Jay Leno used to interview on the street who couldn’t answer basic questions like who the vice president is, or what Columbus Day celebrates? Well, what if someone like that ran for Congress and actually won? How funny would that be!
Producer: Great! We’ll get Amy Schumer or Lena Dunham to play the lead!
Executive: No, I said it’s supposed to be funny.

Yes, you’ve seen some version of this before. It was basically “The Distinguished Gentleman,” and “Legally Blonde 2,” and now it’s been rebooted for the millennial generation in the form of “Ms. Ocasio-Cortez Goes to Washington (If She Can Find It).”

But this version is less funny than the originals (which says a lot) because it’s actually happening. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a twenty-eight-year old community organizer… or something (actually, it’s unclear even from her own website what exactly she does for a living, though she was a bartender less than a year ago)… and of the almost 700,000 people in New York’s 14th congressional district, about 15,000 of them decided for everyone else that she is the most qualified person to represent them in Congress. And though that was just a primary election, there is no doubt she will win November’s general election, because she’s a Democrat and 110% of the voters in her district are also Democrats. (I added the extra 10% to account for fraudulent voters and dead people, though that’s probably a conservative estimate). All that remains is her coronation.

Fresh out of mommy and daddy’s basement, this stupid broad thinks the rest of us will just sit by idly while her and her communist buddies try to take over OUR Country?

Good luck, senorita.

10% of the primary voters does not make a national trend and I suspect the congressman will win as an independent and the media will move on to the next shiny object.

This was really low turn-out, but it has been very entertaining!

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.

Boy, Orwell was spot on with what drives these people. They really are horrible.

“... stuff oughta be free...”

“Free” as in taking from people who work for it and giving it to those who won’t.

She - and others of her braindead ilk - fails to take into account that most of us WILL defend our property and our liberty.

The Commie-fa un-Democratic “Socialists” will not be delivered into the Utopia of their demented dreams.

Especially if they win.

Make America Venezuela!

Venezuela isn’t armed to the teeth.

We are.

And this is one of the reasons we are.

It appeals to the indolent non-producers, who see a chance to get something for nothing, plus permission to hate those who go to work to have their money seized by the government and given to the indolent non-producers.

Plus, politicians claim to be socialists so as to win votes from the indolent non-producers. It would seem that those politicians are going to hurt themselves, and that they stand to lose money under socialism! No such thing! the politicians have set things up so that the ruling elite lives a lifestyle of luxury, off the backs of the producers.

Many of us were idealistic A-Holes as smartassed, know it all youth.

Fortunately the realities of life and the world sink in, the sooner the better

Millennials should listen to us just as we should have listened to our parents.

There are thousands as blindly ignorant as her. It’s what they teach in school these days.

Doesn’t she have a degree in Economics from Boston University (and yet worked as a waitress since graduation)?

Her face looks like one of those little bugs from a real cool episode of the old ‘60s tv show “The Outer Limits’’. It was an episode called “The Zanti Misfits’’. Terrified me as an 8 year old kid.
