Ocasio-Cortez says growing cauliflower in community gardens is 'colonial' (no satire)
Fox News ^ | May 21 2019 | Lukas Mikelionis

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Sunday that growing cauliflower in community gardens is part of the “colonial” attitudes that her Green New Deal will stamp out.

The New York Democrat, who introduced the proposal to tackle climate change by radically transforming the economy, posted a series of Instagram videos filmed in her home state talking about community gardens as a “core component” of her proposal.

“What I love too is growing plants that are culturally familiar to the community. It’s so important,” she said as she filmed a community garden in the Bronx.

How this bitch got elected is unreal.
I wonder how she feels about growing okra or zucchini?

So does this mean if I make an eggcream with Fox’s CHOCOLATE syrup I’m guilty of cultural appropriation?

Wouldn’t this put her at odds with Michelle Obama, who would want the kiddies to get heaping helpings of cauliflower?

“This is the type of girl you don’t call back after one date.”

No, she would still be dated from time to time, but all the dates would start and end in bar parking lot.

Well, there’s white and yellow cauliflower for whitey and Asians and purple cauliflower for, well, someone but there’s no such thing as black cauliflower.

Ok, gotta give it to her somewhat that cauliflower was brought over from England by the “Colonists”.

Yucca is a native plant of arid desert areas of Mexico and the Southwest.

“Communities of color”

Please. This stuff is so old and tired. It's just tribalism. If they push this stuff too far they're going to get people killed.

When the Bolsheviks had their revolution, they replaced a top down autocracy/absolute monarchy with another top down, absolute, totalitarian form of government. The Russian people were used to not having self-determinism already. This is not the case in America. Free people are not going to let pinhead ideologues control their lives. Sure, there will be some who will support almost anything, but overall it's an entirely different situation in America than self-avowed socialists like Bernie Sanders understand or appreciate.

As far as Ocasio-Cortez goes, who knows what she understands or appreciates. She's a walking leftist cliche machine. Hard to know how much of what she says is an agenda she is being spoon fed by her sponsors in the ‘Just-us Democrats’. At any rate, there is probably a market out there for an AOC doll that spouts leftist slogans.

By the way. There are ~1.5 million people living in the Bronx. She'd better plan on having some really big community gardens.

She must know about that native plant. There’s no way anyone was born as stupid as she is without a little help.

As every Master Gardener knows, of equal or greater importance than familiar plants is the cultivation of unfamiliar vegetables for their added nutrutional value to the consumers of community gardens.

Silly me. I thought people growing food in their community garden plots decide what they want to plant.

I didn't realize we have government authorities forcing people to grow cabbage against their will.

Her stupidity is one thing.

The greater issue is she’s talking about Maoism

Collective farms as part of the Green New Deal.
