AOC and World War 2

The people that died fighting real Nazis in North Africa, on the beaches of France then across Europe would probably disagree.  Good one Sandy.... on top of that. She’s not even a scientist. How can she speak about global warming If you’re not a scientist?  We have all been told that the “great unwashed” don’t have any right to speak about climate science unless you have been “educated”. In other words you have to be a scientist.  Isn’t that the standard?  You should figure out how to pay for your apartment on a $175,000 year salary.  Who is the real fascist?  I personally think it’s someone who wants to take 70% of everything you earn (even if it is for earners that make over 10 million).  Like, you know. Like, it almost sounds like slavery.  I don’t mean to offend any former slaves. Oh wait, that was 150 years ago...


 "What we had was an existential threat in the context of a war. We had a direct existential threat with another nation, this time it was Nazi Germany, and the Axis, who explicitly made the United States as an enemy, as an enemy. And what we did was that we chose to mobilize our entire economy and industrialized our entire economy and we put hundreds if not millions of people to work in defending our shores and defending this country. We have to do the same thing in order to get us to 100 percent renewable energy, and that’s just the truth of it." - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Now some of those lawmakers are turning the tables on her and are discussing recruiting a primary challenger to run against the social media sensation. At least one House Democrat has been privately urging members of the New York delegation to recruit a local politician from the Bronx or Queens to challenge Ocasio-Cortez. “What I have recommended to the New York delegation is that you find her a primary opponent and make her a one-term congressperson,” the Democratic lawmaker, who requested anonymity, told The Hill. “You’ve got numerous council people and state legislators who’ve been waiting 20 years for that seat. I’m sure they can find numerous people w...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Movie: D.C.'s Bomb-Throwing New Star Seizes the Sundance Spotlight

I thought she wasn't a bomb thrower.... The audience is out of their seats, not a rare occurrence on late-night television, where floor producers vigorously pantomime the standing ovation.  But this crowd needs no prompting.  “Oh my gosh,” says Ocasio-Cortez, sitting, then standing back up. “Do I stand up? Sit down?” As the applause dissipates, Colbert notes: “It must be nice for you to be back in a city that understands you.” She’s been on  The Late Show  before, on June 29, three days after her  stunning Democratic primary upset,  which, because of her deep blue district encompassing parts of the Bronx and Queens, all but guaranteed her election to the House. She was the fourth guest of the night. And at that time, Colbert noted sheepishly: “I want to confess that I did not know your name on Monday.” This time, she arrives with an entourage large enough to fill the tiny backstage green room.
