Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: ‘We Do Not Live In An Advanced Society’
The Federalist ^ | December 30, 2019 | By Tristan Justice

Posted on 12/30/2019 11:29:27 AM PST by Red Badger

Freshman Democratic New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez argued earlier this month that the United States still does exist as an advanced society.

“We’re here to say that what we’re 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 we’re 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 Trump’s 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 Trump’s authoritarianism? It’s 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 Trump’s 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 there’s one party that’s been making a grab for power: It’s 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.

She has low self esteem written all over her. Women like that are abused and misused by men because they expect to be treated that way. They're disposable.

We want someone like that in Congress?

These Neo-Commie types could be easily Debated by any Village Idiot.

That’s why they refuse debate of their arguments.

Option B: You can destroy the nest.

The Republicans included that item (de-funding the left) a generation ago with the Contract With America. Consequently, Democrats were swept from office in a historic landslide, including the dimwit jug-eared House Speaker.

Then the Gutless Old Party reneged, as usual.

Somebody please tell AOC how third-world women handle their sanitary napkin issues and ask her again whether or not America is “advanced”.

You know, in most fascist, totalitarian regimes, pointing out that you live in a fascist, totalitarian regime, gets you “disappeared”.

And yet here she is, proving once again that she is incorrect about this and that she is just a few french fries short of a happy meal.

you know if her personality were not so miserably hateful, she could be considered to be somewhat good looking. But there absolutely nothing between those ears. A classic case of Anencephaly.

Really AOC? I have it on good authority most everything at the technological level of a garbage disposal or better baffles you. I would think AOC’s world is full of what appears to be magic. Must look pretty advanced to her.

don’t understand why you disagree with my sarcastic answer. IF we were advanced we would never vote for her? What;’s wrong with that?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: ‘We Do Not Live In An Advanced Society’
Don’t just stand there bloviating, move.

My tagline is apropos :

Socialism is cynicism directed towards society and -
correspondingly - naiveté towards government.
