Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Thursday that "just solutions will come from the bottom up" in reference to France's "Yellow Jacket" protests.
"People are starting to realize our issues arent left and right, but top and bottom. And the just solutions will come from the bottom-up," Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter, in response to a report that police in France may join protesters demanding economic reform.
French government officials met Wednesday with police union leaders to discuss frustration among officers over working conditions and unpaid overtime, Newsweek reported, citing the French news outlet Le Monde.
Police have clashed with demonstrators since the start of the "yellow vests" protests last month. Protesters have demanded lower fuel taxes, better living conditions and better pay.
The police are now being encouraged by activists to join them in protests to fight for their own improved working conditions and better pay.
Police in France are owed 23 million hours of overtime pay, according to The Local France.
Top and bottom, what does that even mean?
I think Ocasio-Cortez is incoherent sometimes.
A blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. I can’t really argue with that precise sentence she uttered.
Indeed. I wonder who will be the unlucky one to have to tell her.
The more she ‘babbles’...the more you think it’s commentary coming out of a 5th grade kid.
Bottems up.
I take it to mean that the elites of the Uniparty are NEVER going to drive any change that is good for us working stiffs.
The GOP-E are just as much our enemy as the leadership of the other party, anything they are for will hurt any of us who aren’t financially very well off.
But, now that the Gendarmerie are involved (unions) she likes it. You see, its the workers that will cause revolution. Its the workers who will win.
We have been successful Comrade Stalin! When do we give the governing authority to the workers? - Leon Trotsky
Sometimes the solution from the bottom can be quite unjust.
That wench is really learning liberal speak!
The great propoganda, stupidity and cognitive dissonance of socialists.
Socialism is entirely TOP-DOWN. Nothing about it is “bottom-up.”
Hey, people that live in glass houses shouldn’t put their pants on one leg at a time or fly at night when wet.
Of course, she believes in battling the Quixotic monster of climate change. A top-down cause if there ever was, and a leading cause of the yellow vest movement. So her statement is actually pretty clueless.
She is correct, but not in the way she believes.................
Occasional-Cortex is dropping red pills all over the place. She better be careful.
Yup! Free 100% clean renewable power for everyone. “Just pay for it.”
