Freshman Democratic New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez argued earlier this month that the United States still does exist as an advanced society.
Were here to say that what were living in right now is not an advanced society, Ocasio-Cortez declared at a California presidential rally for Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. It is fascism, what we have. What were evolving into as well.
Progressives on the left have been harboring doomsday predictions ever since President Donald Trump took office, forecasting the destruction of the American economy and the erosion of civil rights. What the nation has seen since Trumps inauguration however, has been just the opposite.
Consumer confidence remains high and the Dow Jones Industrial Average officially eclipsed 28,333 points earlier this month marking a 10,000 point rise under President Trump.
And Trumps authoritarianism? Its non-existent. Not one person has unconstitutionally lost their right to vote and gays can still get married, both of which were areas of concern for extremists raising anxiety over Trumps rise to power. In fact, the U.S. House of Representatives flipped to Democratic control in 2018, affording Democrats the chance to chase impeachment as the top item on their policy agenda with made-up crimes to reverse the results of the 2016 election. If theres one party thats been making a grab for power: Its the Democrats.
The United States, in almost every sense of the term is an advanced society leading the way in the modern age. American science and technology reins superior on the world stage and the U.S. remain a global economic leader.
According to the chart below from the American Enterprise Institute, a center-right Washington D.C. think tank, U.S. median household income is now at its highest levels since the 1960s.

Perhaps she should take a sabbatical and try living in, say, Somalia, China, North Korea, parts of India, Syria... for awhile. Maybe her views would be changed.
Who Cares!

she’s right. Advance-minded people dont vote for this twat.
Deport this ungrateful whelp, and her parents, too. She is Exhibit A for why the USA should have ever allowed so many Third Worlders into our country.
Then why are my tax dollars being used to fund the rest of the world?
We apex-ed around 1969.
Megalomania
meet
AOC
AOC believes the Mayans were an “Advanced Society”, complete with child sacrifice.
Total Airhead. We ARE the most advanced and productive civilization ever on this rock. We have been the envy of the world and our political and economic systems copied many times over since 1787 (AOC wouldn’t know the significance of that date). This idiot needs to read a factual book of US history.
she is living proof that is true. In an advanced society she would never govern others.,
With her as a Congressman... she may actually have a point.
They would treat her like royalty and keep her away from the real people. Then she could report how marvelous the people in that country live...
She went from working in a bar to working in Congress, so...I can see where shed think that.
Certainly AOC does NOT live in an advanced society. She lives in a world where socialist totalitarian government is the ideal. No freedom, and wealth is accumulated only with government permission, if at all. The top earners in AOC society would be government employees.
Thats the society AOC lives in.
Definitely not advanced.
I do, but if AOC prefers an alternative, that’s her business.
"AOC, you ignorant slut"
To her, Communism is an advanced society but Fascism is not. Both are socialist. Both are totalitarian. Both kill those who disagree with it. But only one has national identities.
She is a product of her environment - not the cause.
Remove her and there are still hundreds of brainwashed kids who think the same......
Why?
What were they taught about American history that made them think like this?
AOC is temporarily the younger version of Obama who was the fruition of this world view, but she will not be the last so getting rid of her does nothing to address the problem.
Any education system that would turn her out certainly isn’t advanced
