Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., proposed a new idea for pumping money into the U.S. Postal Service ahead of November's election -- which is expected to see a rise in mailed ballots -- by encouraging people to purchase more stamps.
In an Instagram video, the first-term congresswoman suggested a letter-writing campaign for progressives -- not to public officials, however, but to each other.

Okay, that’s Oscar Wilde territory, there. “Believe me sir, a joke on your lips is no laughing matter.”
Mark Twain: A German joke is nothing to laugh at.
James O’Neil Whistler was a friend of Oscar Wilde and came out with a clever witticism on one occasion. Wilde responded, “I wish I had said that.” to which Whistler replied, “You will, Oscar, you will.”
Progessives know how to write? I thought Cursive was a dead language.
How soon will this become, let us give rich white men’s tax dollars to the post office? (I know rich and white is redundant.)
Why does this remind me of Sheryl Crowe wanting everyone to use one piece of toilet paper to combat climate change?
Why do democrats try to control everyone and everything they do?
I honestly though this was Babylon Bee at first lol
I wonder how many of her followers learned how to write a “proper” letter in school.
I saw the headline and thought it had to be The Onion or Babylon Bee.
Imagine my surprise to see the byline of Fox News; it’s real!!
I thought letters promoted the spread of China flu. And paper. I thought we were “going green.” It all gets confusing.
And all this time I didn’t know that AOC’s “followers” could read & write??

So this braying jackass who spends most of her waking hours on twitter, which is free, expects her followers with their 10 second attention spans, to find a post office or mail service store, spend money for stamps and then sit down to write inane comments.

Throw away those cell phones and go get a typewriter.

I saw the video. I decided that people were getting spoofed. I didn’t think that was really her. It was just too ridiculous. Apparently I was wrong.
Typical leftist response to any problem: Throw more of MY money at the problem. You can also make something more viable by cutting expenses...it doesn’t always have to be about raising revenues. I can’t believe she earned a degree in economics.

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember some newfangled tech exists to get a piece of mail from one person to another instantaneously and it doesn’t require paper, envelopes or even a stamp. I know, I know. Crazy talk.
