Freshman lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dropped a hammer on Joe Lieberman on Thursday, after the onetime Democratic vice presidential candidate said he feared her brand of high-tax socialism could doom the party's chances for long-term dominance in Congress.
'I certainly hope she’s not the future and I don’t believe she is,' Lieberman said in a Fox Business Network interview. He retired in 2013 after serving 24 years in the U.S. Senate.
The 29-year-old Ocasio-Cortez retweeted the 76-year-old's sentiment with a four-word rejoinder: 'New party, who dis?'
'Who dis?' is a common response to a text message from an unknown number. Among millennials in the smartphone generation, the phrase has morphed into a snarky tool for rejecting someone by framing their approach as a mistake.

With extra butter!
I’ve always felt the same way about Lieberman. I never understood why he agreed to run with Gore.
This girl really knows how to embarrass herself.
The Dem party is now a radical left party, guided by the tenets of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.” **(1)
The Dem party is a liberal fascist party now, remade by Barrack Hussein Obama:

Saul Alinsky’s 13 Tried-and-True Rules for Creating Meaningful Social Change ( sic)
.................................................................................
1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.” It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.
11. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions...............................................................................

***********************************************************
You now see these Rules For Radicals being used in the battle against our President over the Wall and the government shut down.
Their side is not enjoying their tactics - e.g. furloughed government workers.
They are bringing ridicule on themselves.
They have no alternative - open borders appeals to almost no one besides the elite.
They are not living up to their own rules.
They have become a bore.
Trump has personalized the enemy, Nancy and Chuck.
Trump is keeping the pressure on - no emergency, no end to the shut-down.
His side is enjoying the tactic immensely. The other side-not having a good time.
Millennial SJW’s perpetually stuck in junior high.
Then all I can say is: “All hail Alexandria!”.
agreed...
and it is very very dangerous for USA
“....just a mouth and oversized front chompers....” Yes, she does have prominent dentition. But if she’s done ANYTHING constructive in her life, she has obviously taken exemplary CARE OF those chompers with great dental hygeine.
Lieberman is 5 months younger than Bernie Sanders and 11 months older than Joe Biden...both talked about as potential 2020 nominees for the Rat Party.
Correction—Lieberman is 9 months older than Biden.
“I think it’s highly likely that she’s not mocking him and that she genuinely doesn’t know who he is.”
You’re joking, right? The commie bitch knows exactly who Lieberman is. She’s insulting the former senator to gain leftist creed with her neo-Nazi Jew-hating base. She’s a pro- BDS, Israeli-hating Nazi. The filthy goosestepping whore is about to collapse her career.
That’s some snake fight!
....”The filthy goosestepping whore is about to collapse her career.”....
She’s clearly a useful idiot to the Dems in her social/justice activist role until she isn’t....that’s all that she ‘is’, and still doing so in her current position. She can do no else for obvious reasons.
You are right. In this wall case, President Trump is iusing Alinsky tactics against the Dems. And they truly hate having to take their own medicine!
I agree with you in this case.
But generally, like in the Kavanaugh hearings, they follow Alinsky to the “T.”
We have a hood rat in Congress.
