So first of all she lied about riding Amtrac when it was reported before she flies all the time. The New Green Deal backers message to us is: If you don’t have a private jet, own one or more limos, live in the most exclusive neighborhoods in America and don’t have a personal wealth in the millions, kneel at the New Green Deal altar and cut your throat to save the planet for us.

AOC is already positioning herself as the leading Presidential candidate in 2024
It actually depends on how smart they are. If they introduce their fascist “reforms” slowly over time, people might grumble. But no one will do much.
Boiled frog syndrome, yea I can see that. There are tripwires though, gun control, oppressive and then inadequate health care, shrinking middle class,,, LAWS THAT ONLY APPLY TO CERTAIN ELITES.... If Hillary and Obama are not wearing Orange soon...
“You lost an idiot. Please take her back. She’s coco-loco. Thanks, The Future.”
I think the whole Left is illustrated and populated by crabapples.
I just watched the video. I’m now convinced she’s actually dumber than I first thought, which is quite an achievement.
AOC is nuts. A shame she’s allowing her handlers to ruin her.
Kreskin says, “AOC’s future includes lots of bartending. Little else.”
