AOC: The Wuhan Coronavirus Shows Us How Great the Progressive Movement Truly Is

Progressive darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) made the case that the proposed Wuhan coronavirus relief package that's currently floating in Congress shows why progressive ideas and the progressive movement are achievable.

"It's actually a fascinating progressive moment because what it's shown is that all of these issues have never been about how are you going to pay for it. It's never been about whether we have the capacity to do these things or if the logistics have worked out," AOC explained in a video for Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign. "All of these excuses that we have been given as to why we cannot treat people humanely have suddenly gone up in smoke and what has been revealed is all of these issues was really about a lack of a political will and who you deemed worthy to be in an emergency or not."

According to the freshman congresswoman, progressives have been pushing for housing to be deemed a right for a "very, very long time."

"Now that we are experiencing everybody who is threatened by the uncertainty of this moment, everyone's realizing, 'Wait. We're all in this together.' That applies to not just economic prosperity but it also applies to issues of criminal justice, of civil rights, of human rights," she explained.

Yeah, Sandy; half a billion dollars of taxpayer money for the ‘arts’, and an indeterminable amount of taxpayer money to take over the McClatchey Publications Empire’s pension liabilities is an important part of preventing and curing a chinese bio-weapon.

She looks hungry for an apple or a bunch of carrots....

I always thought she was as dumb as a rock but now I think that’s an insult to rocks.

She called it the Wuhan virus? RACIST! Being precise about the origin of a virus today has been classified as "racist" by the "progressive" party. BTW, this Dr. Fauci working with Trump is as leftist as it gets. The other day when Trump called it the "China virus" this is what Fauci did.....

What the hell does that even mean?


A few great "progressive" ideas that have been rebuked by the great dempanic of 2020:

1) Reusable grocery bags

2) Living in high-density communities

3) Getting rid of personal vehicles and cramming into mass-transit vehicles with strangers

4) Avoiding home-schooling at all costs

5) Borders

Number 5 obviously should have been "No borders".

[Chickensoup]

5 should be no borders

[BitWielder1]

People out of work, massive government spending, no travel, no commerce, curfew around the clock.
It's a communist wet dream. No wonder she loves it.

While we can certainly endure inconvenience temporarily, she wants to make it permanent.

The dingbat has already cost her district 25,000 good paying jobs with earning over $100,000 each. How many lives will this idiot’s delays cost the people of NYC because of the coronavirus?
