Being called dangerous probably only serves to stroke her ego. Every fascist needs an excuse, and today it’s global warming. The Jewish threat is so yesterday.
Ah, the fake Jewish threat is still a favorite, it’s just in second or third place now.
Visit a NY, well now really MANY colleges even in red states, and you’ll see that it’s still ranks high.
As for you Libwhacker, can you apply the second part of your name as we Italians would regarding Cortez?
THAT WAS A JOKE! I DO NOT condone the harming of any public official!! Humor is still allowed in America.
For now.
But if she keeps it up, OTHER politicians, both RINOs and Dems, may do the real thing. She should be careful.
It is obvious that she isn't acting alone (i.e., acting as a front for Democratic Socialists of America), but who is the DSA fronting for?
Is there is an organization like Comintern (The Communist Party International) still operating in the world? Does it have a national sponsor now that the USSR is no longer in existence.
No one ever proposed the new green deal before because it is so insane. It waited until someone dumb enough to emerge to say it out loud.
In her defense, AOC is the mouth piece of the pagan, green cult who prepared the ground before her. “We’re ALL going to die!” is a great catch phrase. Up there with, “How you doing?”
Someone ....do America a YUGE favor
No hint of authoritarian impulse here. Not the least bit totalitarian.
Who needs a Constitution and limited government when we can just hand over the Government to Sandy and do what she says?
Since she drove off the Amazon jobs, anyone think the people in her district will re-elect her? She better stay up to date with her bartending skills. Maybe no bar in New York will hire her, as a lot of their clientele needed those Amazon jobs.

Has she came up with a replacement for Oil and Gas yet? Is that one of the small little details people are complaining about? How about that replacement for all the electrical plants across America?
Yes. The most bothersome - and frankly, frightening and disturbing - about AOC is her arrogance ... which she maintains even though she is completely ignorant of the real world.
Socialism is a naive theory. IMHO it is necessary to bring any discussion with a socialist down to earth. Comrade Obama said that Donald Trump was promising what he could not deliver, for lack of a magic wand. Well, there is a magic wand, and Trump waved it masterfully. What is that wand? It is the trust which enables free market capitalism to transcend the expectations of anyone who does not understand the power of networking. It is low taxes, low regulation, and the trust of society in the predictable scarcity and value of the dollar. Because predictably scarce/valuable currency catalyzes cooperation within American society.I, Pencil is an article written in 1958 by Leonard E. Read. The burden of the article is how diffuse are the inputs to make a simple item like a pencil. Of course a particular company - Eberhard Faber, in the example instance - made the pencil. But Mr. Eberhard and Mr. Faber did not simply speak the pencil into existence; the company has to have buildings housing machinery, and workers to operate the machines. But beyond that, the Eberhard Faber workers have to have food, shelter, and normal amenities - including those required by their families.
And the same is true of the vendors who supply Eberhard Faber with the machinery they require, and all the obvious materials - wood, graphite, rubber, and the ferrule material and the enamel. All those vendors have their own equipment, workers, and supply chain. And in all cases the workers need food, shelter, and normal amenities. So although the pencil certainly does not exist without Eberhard Faber, society works together to make pencils - and everything else.
So, “You didn't build that? Somebody else made that happen?” Yes - but that “somebody else” was not government. The “somebody” was more like everybody - mostly very indirectly. It is not the government but society - as Thomas Paine points out in Common Sense, a very different thing - which makes the pencil. And that cooperation is enabled by the “magic wand” of predictably scarce currency.
Government planning is merely interference in society’s subtle workings by people who have nowhere near the competence needed to make such large decisions and be responsible for them. It is nothing more than the irresponsible separation of responsibility from authority, in violation of the first principle of good management. Cynicism engendered by violations of that principle is illustrated by the following poem:
It's not my place to run the trainImprovement in efficiency via government “planning” is a paper tiger.
The whistle I can't blow.It's not my place to say how far
The train's allowed to go.It's not my place to shoot off steam
Nor even clang the bell.But let the damn thing jump the track
And see who catches hell.
