Thread: Ocasio-Cortez

  1. #1

    Ocasio-Cortez

    Can we all stop and consider that this person was Fourth in her class at a University with majors in International Relations and Economics. She has claimed that Israel is “occupying Palestinian lands” and that “unemployment is so low because people are working two jobs.
    Now can we have an honest discussion about what a complete and utter failure our university system has become that this person not only didn’t learn fundamental basics of either subject, but that she was top of her class, and that a majority of democrats voted for her. We finally have rock solid proof that the democrats signal the end of an educated society with free and open debate.
    I, for one, cannot WAIT to see her in a debate. It will be positively delightful! I guarantee that someone is coaching the ever-living hell out of her right now so that she doesn’t embarrass them completely on a national stage.

    Democrats have figured out that when it comes to politics, facts don't matter. Feelings equal politics these days.

    Agreed. She just checks boxes for them:
    1. Minority ✅
    2. Can speak ✅
    3. Socialist ✅
    4. Makes impassioned pleas for obscure terms like “justice” and “fairness” ✅

    I honestly don’t believe she is buying what she’s selling. She’s found a way to differentiate herself from competitors (other politicians) and it got her elected...much to her surprise. She can’t go back and change her product (communism/socialism). She has to keep marketing her product until more people buy it. When her revenue is waaaaaay up (large voting base)...she’ll go public (national politics).

    The MSM is doing a hell of a job giving her free marketing to help push her product.

    So, from that POV...she is using what she learned in college to promote an ideology that contradicts the very system she is using to sell her product. Stupid people are buying her product. They don’t see the irony in any of it...well...because they’re stupid.

    "No one should be so poor that they can't live decently."


    I agree.


    Get educated. Learn a trade. Get a fucking job.

    Why?

    People like AOC are promising to give people everything they need. For the simple-minded...It’s easier to follow her than become independently wealthy.

    Again, I know sales people (supposedly money motivated) who want socialism in this country. It’s weird.

    I know a LOT of salespeople that followed Bernie. I was just like, “Everything he stands for would take away your job!” You really have to be another level of imbecile to have a job and support socialism period. Sales most of all because you’re the heart of socialism. Your job is to provide the value behind a good/service to make it worth the monetary transaction. Complete lunacy. Well... there’s not much reason to argue that Socialists are morons. It’s the most violent form of government that lead to the deaths of millions. It’s never worked and lead to massive amounts of suffering. Yet here they are! Stating that ALL the previous iterations were not real socialism. That we’re gonna get it RIGHT! That seems like a pretty daring gamble: that it could be okay if you get it right even though it’s never been done, and when it goes wrong, millions die.

    This is why I would support public options for post secondary education honestly. Would have to be narrow enough to focus on areas people could get employed though. Government does not need to be sponsoring people to go get liberal arts degrees for example.

    People like her and Bernie Sanders are going to be the future of the democratic party. Center left politicians like Hillary Clinton are becoming less and less popular with people on the left. The democrats are splitting into two wings, the old school dems like the Clintons, Pelosi, etc. and democratic socialists. People who want the US to be more like a western european country. I think this is the direction they are going in.

    Pelosi broke hard left several years ago. Feinstein would be a better example. Claire McCaskill too. What scares me is how many people voted for Bernie. Colleges are teaching this socialist crap and omitting how truly awful it is. I took a literature class on Utopian Society. It was pretty dumb. The reading was really basic crap. We read Marx and stuff like Rip Van Winkle. It was all about socialism. Our professor was a French socialist. He would constantly try to convince us that this crap literature was anything but fiction. Unlike today, everyone in my class at the time dismantled his arguments and pointed out exactly why he was stupid. We all went to his office to complain as well and were told he had international tenure or something. This was in 1999.... I assure you it’s gotten worse.

    O-C is a horrendous. She's a candidate from a fun house mirror. Literally nothing she's proposed would be remotely possible.
