Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "The People Who Change The Way People Think Are Artists And Drag Queens"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 4/12/20 | Tim Hains

**SNIP**

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shared a video of a drag queen roundtable that she says will "push society forward."

"Electoralism has limits," she wrote. "Elected officials often don’t lead our most impactful societal changes, they follow them. The heroes who lead true change are the activists, artists, organizers & others who educate + push society forward."

"People think Congress and government is all about leading people, but ultimately, a lot of our politics is about following the public will. The people who change the way people think are artists and drag queens, and let's not forget who threw that first brick at Stonewall," she said. "It starts with you, I mean, you're patriots, you are, you are, you are patriots, and I'm so proud of you all, and I'm so proud to live in this country with you."

The commie meaning of "Forward" is not the same as for normal people.

Apparently Michele Caruso Cabrera is running against her and already raised 1 million dollars. One can hope.

And she's the brains of the operation.

Indeed, compared to the other members of "the Squad," she's Einstein.

She’s had people telling her from an early age that the future belongs to her. Unfortunately, she took it to mean that every day from then on belongs to her and her generation and nobody else, forever and always.

I looked the politic parties back then.

Informally they were Anti-establishment and Pro-establishment.

Was this similar to the Federalist and the Anti-Federalist?

Always felt the Anti-Feds made a lot more sense. (Lot of hindsight there. LOL.)

And today we still recognize modern “art” as trash, and perverts as perverts.

She’s completely correct. Now that artists and drag queens are in our faces all the time, I have changed how I think ... about what we should do with all progressive slime balls.

Once again, the little miss collegiate put chocolate-flavored exlax with her coffee, instead of mocha powder!

Spoken like a true 12 yo.

Funny because she has the voice to match her mental age.
