Majority of Americans not fond of socialism, AOC: survey
NY Post ^ | 12/24/2020 | Mark Moore

The majority of Americans roundly reject socialism and have a dim opinion of left wing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a damning new survey shows.

Asked whether the free-market economy or socialism was better, 75 percent of likely voters chose capitalism, while 11 percent backed socialism, according to a Heartland Institute/Rasmussen poll.

Another 14 percent said they were “not sure.”

“Likely voters hate socialism,” the pollster said.

The only opinion that matters are the opinions of her voters. And they just re-elected her...

AOC is powerful, and backed by powerful people. Dismiss her at your own peril.

The German National Socialists were mostly humanitarians and very nice people. Mostly.

She defeated a well funded and well known primary challenger. AOC gonna be around for many years. Maybe replace Schumer when he croaks in 20 yrs or so.

Socialism/communism works only on paper and in the minds of leftist hacks and morons without brains. No shortage of them nowadays.

Most Americans don’t even know what socialism is and why it is so dangerous.

Americans LUUUUV socialism.

They just don’t like the word. And the reason they don’t all vote for it is that, under the existing structure, to get socialism you also have to vote for perversion, which is massively unpopular.

Americans also LUUUV their nation, but the reason they don’t all vote for nationalist parties is that there are none. To get a candidate who honors America, you also have to vote for globalization, illegal immigration, financialization of the economy, and making most purchases practical only through usury.

Change is coming.

AOC is just an useful idiot to be squashed.

I hope that patriots wake up on the fact that federal government establishment of socialism is unconstitutional. Military issues aside, if a given federal domestic spending program is not reasonably related to the US Mail Service (1.8.7), then patriots can bet that it is unconstitutional, based on stolen state powers, and be right probably most of the time.

The reason that the feds have already established unconstitutional social spending programs is this. Crook federal politicians promise voters everything under the sun to get themselves elected.

The problem is, voters who have probably never been taught about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers take the bait and elect crooks who establish unconstitutional social spending programs.

In other words, abuse of voting power, particularly 17th Amendment power, by low-information voters is why patriots are now being oppressed under the boots of an unconstitutionally big federal government imo.

The 17th amendment is the rope that low-information voters, rich and poor alike, are slowly hanging themselves with.

Finally, while I hope that Trump doesn’t have to use his emergency powers to ultimately claim his unquestionable win of the 2020 elections, I’ve signed the following White House petition for worst case scenario so our votes don’t get switched to Democrats for the rest of our lives.

Patriots should consider signing the petition before going to DC on Jan. 6.

*********

Let’s see how voters like the economic U-turn from a booming economy to one that impulsively implements socialism and overbearing government control. The overnight contrast is going to shock a lot of people and markets. Combine that with our out-of-control debt and you have a recipe for a looming national economic crisis. It will be a sobering moment for many.

AOC is powerful

************

She’s nuts but she is bold, determined and not easily intimidated. Those with the strongest desire to win usually do. They have a powerful advantage over their adversaries: force of personality.

[[[[AOC is powerful, and backed by powerful people. Dismiss her at your own peril.]]]]

The jury is still out but she’ll at least become a female Charlie Rangel of sorts. She’s got social media working for her. As she gets older she’ll find a racket that makes a steady stream of graft income for herself and she’ll become a multi-millionaire.

Given what's it's done to every country where it's been tried, I hate it with a passion.
