Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Shared the Important Reason She's Taking a Week Off for Self-Care
Elle via Yahoo ^ | 12/17/18 | Madison Feller

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who's about to become the youngest Congresswoman ever this January, is taking some time for self-care. The Congresswoman-elect took to her Instagram stories on Monday to let her followers known she'd be starting a week of self-care, though she admitted she doesn't really know how to do that or what it entails.

After describing some of the self-care tips she's heard in the past (drink wine and watch Netflix, go to Cancun), she showed a photo of Amnesty International's signs for burning out, writing, "Self-care is important for activists because without we WILL burn out and walk away."

She continued, writing, "Confession time: I am so bad at this. Even though our story exploded 5 months ago, I’ve been campaigning nonstop for two years: through multiple jobs, double shifts, morning commutes on the subway, etc."

Ocasio-Cortez explained that before the campaign, she would do yoga multiple times a week, eat nutritiously, and take time to read and write for leisure. Then, once her campaign began, she says all that went out the window and instead, she found herself eating fast food for dinner and falling asleep in her jeans and makeup.

Burning the ontological candle at both ends. The soul can only take so much abuse before it says, for heavens sake, would you stop your bs.

"drink wine and watch Netflix, go to Cancun"

It would be just like a "commie bitch" to want to live with the pleasures of capitalism while denying that to all the little people she tricked into giving her power.

Try a socialist self-care regiment of dirty water & no food with commie propaganda videos in your "communist utopia" of Caracas!

Don’t let her fool you. She is getting an intellect injection and needs the time to recover from the pain.

I’d chip in for a week in Venezuela. I hear they have nice spas there for the overworked and overfed.

“”she found herself eating fast food for dinner and falling asleep in her jeans and makeup.””

NO! Tell me she didn’t fall asleep with makeup on! Dreadful. How can we ever allow anyone that negligent to represent any segment of our society?

This jerk doesn’t know how to do something but she wants to do it anyway! Way to go, girl! Can we count on her messing up and not showing up in DC in January....there’s always HOPE. At least that’s what obozo promised us!

“Did this woman ever have a real job with real responsibilities?”

She worked as a bartender. Her primary responsibility was spitting into the food and drinks of any conservatives who came her way.

This wild-eyed gal (Occasional-Cortex) appears to have the same work ethic as lazy bum/community organizer Barry Obummer.

I also remember reading that when Crazy Bernie Sanders was living at a kibbutz in his early years he got kicked out because he wouldn’t do any work.

Seems to be a common trait among this “down with the people” fringe.
