The New York Post is reporting that during a recent interview, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) complained about having to share the same political party as Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. The comments came after the representative was asked about the role she imagines herself playing in Congress if Joe Biden ends up being president of the United States, assuming she is still in Congress following the 2020 election.
“Oh, God," Ocasio-Cortez exclaimed. "In any other country, Joe Biden and I would not be in the same party, but in America, we are.” Ocasio-Cortez's comments were made during a recent interview with New York Magazine that will be published later this week.

Ocasio-Cortez, who endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential run , also said the Democratic Party caters too much to representatives who flipped districts in 2018 that had voted for President Trump in 2016.
“For so long, when I first got in, people were like, ‘Oh, are you going to be basically a tea party of the left?’ And what people don’t realize is that there is a tea party of the left, but it’s on the right edges, the most conservative parts of the Democratic Party,” she said.
Ocasio-Cortez continued to say that criticizing the party is frowned upon but credits herself with creating the ability for some members to speak their minds.
“I think I have created more room for dissent, and we’re learning to stretch our wings a little bit on the left,” she said.
It's interesting that Ocasio-Cortez views her own political beliefs as too extreme for the major political party on the left in America. Perhaps that has something to do with the fact that almost a quarter of the residents in her congressional district are not even from America, as Matt recently pointed out. Democrats have been fighting tooth and nail to keep the citizenship question off the census, which is used to determine the number of representatives apportioned to each state. But even without the citizenship question being asked, it is still possible that Ocasio-Cortez will lose her House district following the 2020 census due to population shifts over the last 10 years.
Yeah and just recently she said it would be an honor to be the VP on his ticket.
This one has “special needs” written all over her.
Time to start the Occasional Cortex Party. But they’d still be in the same party.
The 2020 Census is likely to send her district packing as NY loses 1 or maybe even 2 Congressional seats.
What, he hasn’t clapped his sweaty bread hooks on her yet?
Correction, I guess it was Sanders she said that about.
Oops...
Well, dumbass...you and your three cohorts should exit the dhimmicrap party and start up your own, third party...
I heartily encourage you to seek your future on your own merits and ideas...
scrolling down and read the title and lol’d!
Partisan Media Shills push the DNC talking points; besides the attempt to build a couple of different memes about the snuffing of the Iranian terrorist leader, there’s also something building against nominating Biden.

The “wings” flapping for AOC are those of the bats in her belfry.
Great idea: Divide the Dem Party into old time out of touch (Pelosi and Schumer and Biden) and whacked out younger socialist/commies (AOC,Tlaib) and Black Caucus (spurning both of the others).
Trump and GOP will win around 58% of each state vote and most districts while the split leftists blame each other and start vengeful vendettas.
That would make me buy a heck of a lot of bulk popcorn.
Most of us lament a universe that allows such creatures to exist.
Yep but she’s still nuttier than a squirrels nest.
In most countries, you would not have putative leaders (Biden and AOC) who manifestly hate the country they claim to lead.
So start a new one. She could be the head cheese whiz.
There’s the communist party.
How can she act that way to someone who only wants to smell her hair?
Smile...

These are the expressed thoughts of someone elected to high office.
She may as well spout: "I'm like Batman? But in a city? Like, during the day? So more like... Batpidgeon? So, yeah. And like, OK Boomer."
It’s a tough choice. Do we wish to denigrate squirrels or fruit-cake the most.
I’ll get back to you...
Smile...
She could always do porn...
Frankly, that’s all she has the brainpower for.
