Michael Moore says Dems need to accept far-left Cortez as party leader: 'No middle ground anymore'
Fox News ^ | 2/03/19 | Louis Casiano

Posted on 02/03/2019 9:03:48 AM PST by Libloather

Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore declared U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the new leader of the Democratic Party, while urging political moderates to take a position because there “is no middle ground anymore.”

“She is the leader. Everybody knows it. Everybody feels it,” Moore said of the freshman congresswoman from New York during a Friday interview on MSNBC.

Moore said the age requirement to run for president - 35 - should be constitutionally amended so that Ocasio-Cortez could make a play for the White House. He said Ocasio-Cortez is the leader of a movement, citing a Fox News poll that showed voters favored her proposal to increase the tax rate to 70 percent for the richest Americans.

Moore also urged those with moderate views to “take a position,” in response to a question about whether someone like Ocasio-Cortez, with very progressive politics, could turn off moderates.

She may very well be the de facto leader of the party, pulling it more and more to the left and irrelevance.

They are serfs will who all line up behind whatever progressive corportist the DNC shoves down their throats.

***************

Not all that different from the GOP that obediently lines up behind the Chamber of Commerce and whatewver its corporate allies want.

Yes! More of this! POC needs to be the face of the Left. Michael Moore is right. There is no middle ground anymore. There hasn’t been for a while. The funny thing is that he thought he opposed George W. Bush and John McCain. LOL.

Wonder Mimi’s how long it will take to get states to approve that age amendment? Better yet run her as a write in and let the fun begin.

LOL! Lumpy Riefenstahl is such an idiot. A constitutional amendment like that, if it was even conceivable that it would pass which its not, would take at least 10 years to wind through the process - which makes it a moot point for AOC.

She can't run this go round, and the Dems are going to frag her in the next few years because her braindead enthusiasm for destroying the country threatens their graft streams.

Burn brightly, burn out.

Has the million dollar Marxist ever denounced any Communist dictatorship or progrom murder? Make him own his far left militant politics.

She'll be eligible in 2024. There is zero chance that the GOP, Democrats and 38 state legislatures will fast-track a constitutional amendment to let AOC run in 2020. It would be politically impossible and, even if it weren't, literally none of the relevant players have the slightest interest even trying to do that. So when Mike Moore says something like this, I really have a hard deciding whether he's

1. Just trolling; or
2. Delusional; or
3. Dumber than a box of rocks.

I agree with your agree!

It’d be nice if they quit pretending to be normal humans.

They say that Mr Krispy Kreme is worth about $50 million.I have no doubt that he'd be fine with the Treasury seizing all but $500,000 of his net worth and all but $75,000 of his net yearly income (every year).He'd understand that it would be for “peace”...the “environment”...and “transgendereds” and that he'd still be among the very richest individuals on earth.

May she and her supporters listen to Michael and follow his instructions!

I’m in love with those eyes. Does our Congressional Health insurance cover that operation? If so, where do I sign up?

After Michael Moore heard Trump’s acceptance speech at the 2016 Republican Convention, he said Trump will win the presidency. I’m interpreting Michael Moore’s declaration that AOC is the leader of the Democrat party means Democrat primary voters will pick someone from the far left, not a “moderate”, to be their party’s nominee. That helps Trump.

MM needs to do his homework before he sounds off. Is he sure they can get that doughnut fryer up to temp with solar? Coal? I think not.

Yes, because a 29 year old X bartender dipshit should be queen of the world.

AOC needs to be the face of the Left.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Oh, she’s the ‘face’ of the Left already .... :-)

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez swears by ‘double cleansing’: Here’s what it is and why you should try it

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-swears-double-cleansing-heres-try-193409495.html

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has informally campaigned her way to becoming one of the most relatable elected officials in our eyes, especially when it comes to the topic of beauty.

The 29-year-old congresswoman first gave us a glimpse into her makeup bag when she shared her $9 press-on manicure on social media. And she recently revealed on her Instagram Story the exact steps of her skin care routine. With a consistent three-step skin care regimen, it’s no wonder Ocasio-Cortez has such a clear complexion. Her secret: double cleansing.

Encouraging her 2.1 million Instagram followers to “look it up,” Ocasio-Cortez advises individuals, particularly those who wear foundation, to “cleanse w/ a balm or oil to melt off the makeup and then use a usual soapy cleanser to wash your skin.”
