Ocasio-Cortez picks a new fight, this time with the Democrat dinosaurs

So far, so good. Far-left socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 29, has managed to P.O. more Democrats with her tweets, her latest one going after the age of Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, 76, who said he didn't think she was the future of the Democratic Party. With characteristic class, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted this to Lieberman: "New party, who dis?"

To be fair, Lieberman started it: "With all respect, I certainly hope she's not the future and I don't believe she is," said Lieberman, who was the Democratic Party's vice presidential nominee in the 2000 election.

All respect? I didn't read any "all respect" in that one. I read "all disgust." The "future" Lieberman refers to was clearly in reference to Ocasio-Cortez's youth, because let's face it: youth is always the future. She returned fire, "pooping on" (as Whoopi Goldberg likes to say) another one.

It's her party's own doing. She unwittingly reminded everyone that Democrats really do have an age problem. They would rather that not be noticed. But they do. They are the party of the establishment. They are the party of dinosaurs. Their leadership is positively Jurassic. Few new voices or faces have made their way into leading positions now that Nancy Pelosi (age 78) has retaken the House speaker's gavel. Old Democrats hoard power and take it seriously, shutting out the young. Everyone can notice it, except them.

Even the Democrats' policies – piling on government debt for the young to pay; driving up health care costs for the young, who don't use much health care (and, as Mitch McConnell himself once told a group of us when I was working at a newspaper, that comes right out of state education budgets); minimum wage hikes, which kick away the lowest rungs on the jobs ladder.....

I think you’re right odawg. If it were a senate seat she might have enough time to build up enough of a following to see her through another election but she has the wind in her face and she’s shouting insults to the gods...

Another very good reason to have 2 terms of 2 years each the LIMIT.

NONE of us in the private working sector get full retirement after ONLY 5 YEARS. NONE

I worked at Universal Studios/MCA in the 70’s. I didn’t even get VESTED in their pension system UNTIL I WAS THERE % YEARS

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is leading the young Jacobins against the "Ancien Regime" DemocRATS.

She and her followers will tear the Pelosi DemocRATS down.

You go girl!

Going after Hillary? Would a visit to Fort Marcy Park be in AOC’s future?

Joe said before the election that she shouldn’t win. He endorsed Crowley... I met Joe in 1988 when I was with Republicans who endorsed him over the nut that was Senator. I might have disagreed on him on issues, he was fair, he listened.

#20 The clintons killed 2 people in 2016 during the election cycle. One shot in the back and the other who was scheduled to testify against the clintons just a few days later had a barbell dropped on his throat.
