The Democrat's and Some on the Left's problem w/Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

[MarcATL]

All those who can’t afford to have kids but do so anyway. Do you buy a car you cannot afford and then expect the taxpayers to bail you out? Do you take out student loans you can’t pay back but expect the taxpayers to bail you out? If it’s not needed then why is it in the bill? Why do you constantly want to rescue people because of their bad decisions?

How about we have fewer single mom households? You never answered me. Why should I pay for someone else’s bad decisions?

So you're promoting abortion, right?

Jobs increased by 8 million under Obama
Jobs DECREASED by 3 million under Trump
Jobs increased by 6 million under Biden

Still lying.

Earlier this week I had an exchange w/a fellow USMB poster I believe is generally on the left and they expressed having a problem w/Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

However, when prompted to get to the bottom of their reasons, the response was nothing more than fluff.

Personally, I love everything she stands for and she represents her constituents well, and they support her.

This is to/for those of us on the left, including Democrats, what, if any, are your problems w/Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

Let's get to the bottom of if.

i think she’s great and represents the DNC well

It's all true. And it all happened that way because Trump lied to us about the pandemic coming because he didn't want it to hurt his election. So he lied. Then it got out of control. Then he said don't wear masks and go to parties. Drink bleach. Take gamma rays like the hulk. He lied and hundreds of thousands of people died needlessly. Because of you people who won't wear masks, social distance or get vaccinated.

You mean like AOC going to Florida and getting Covid?

So you're promoting abortion, right?

you do know there are ways besides abortion to not have a kid…

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

I am promoting pulling out. If you were straight you would understand what I mean.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

You don’t know she got it in Florida. Could have been on the plane, correct?

Doesn't matter. She's running around maskless.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

She is a hypocrite. Typical leftist

 

[themirrorthief]

AOC stands up for poor and struggling Americans

That is why Conservatives hate her

thats why she parties with the mega rich

 

[BS Filter]

Dropping the upper tax rate, slashing inheritance taxes and cutting corporate taxes by 40percent overwhelmingly favored the wealthy

Show me Republican policy that overwhelmingly helps the poor and working class

Jobs.

I doubt it - there are only two or three leftists here that I've seen.

and they expressed having a problem w/Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

She's a joke, yes.

However, when prompted to get to the bottom of their reasons, the response was nothing more than fluff.

Please post this response so we can judge for ourselves - thanks!

Personally, I love everything she stands for

Pretends to stand for.

and she represents her constituents well,

She represents her own interests, period.

and they support her.

Do they?

New York districts are SO gerrymandered it's insane...

This is to/for those of us on the left,

You're not on the left - you're a Democrat.

including Democrats,

There are no Democrats on the left with the debatable exception of Sanders.

what, if any, are your problems w/Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

She's a narcissistic dingbat fauxialist Democrat of the self-serving political class.

Let's get to the bottom of if.

You want to get to AOC's bottom?

I guess she was right about everybody wanting to fuck her...

 

[MinTrut]

thats why she parties with the mega rich

And that's the thread.

You are shouting at the rain. Try it and see if it stops raining. Being born into poverty isn’t a child’s fault even if you want to blame the parent. Half or SNAP (food stamps) recipients are kids. Children. What do you do? Cut out their $8 food allowance? 92% of SNAP are families with kids, the elderly, or disabled living in poverty in the US, all citizens (tiny fraction legal immigrants - no illegals) and since 1996 have strict work requirements.

Are you really so pissed at these people (old, sick, and children) you want to cut off $8 because you think it keeps their care takers from working? I don’t think you look at data. I think like most republicans you hold an emotional position that everyone poor is lazy, living a lavish government supported life and should be able to lift themselves out - not supported by data.

Someone born into poverty, raised in poverty, and in a country that thinks it’s the most opportunistic place on the plant will likely stay in poverty. 40% of kids spent at least a year in poverty. That’s a systemic problem resulting from 90% of families having virtually no wealth and unable to survive a family emergency like unemployment or health crisis.

Why should you pay for those people? Because most of us would pay for you if you were born there. Luckily you weren’t through no effort of your own. Or luckily your parents were the minuscule number who live in poverty and get their kids to college.

You think AOC has good ideas.

No. I'm not faulting anyone for traveling now. I'm talking in the very beginning of the pandemic. When Ted Cruz went to Mexico.

My problems with her is that she doesn't seem particularly knowledgeable. Now, that's true of a lot of Congress-critters, but she has this lovely habit of saying really stupid things.

My other problem with her is that she's from the Crazy Bernie-Bro faction of the party that thinks Socialism is a good thing.

To whit,

I see Capitalism like a pit bull. It has its uses under the right circumstances.

The Republicans want to let it run amok in the neighborhood, and it it mauls your kid, than it's your own fault for getting in its way.

The Bernie Bros like AOC want to take it out into the woods and shoot it like Old Yeller.

I want that dog on a leash with a muzzle and sent to obedience school.

 

[JoeB131]

She went from bartending to being a congressional rep -- zero to sixty in 5.2 seconds.

So?

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

So?

You're easy to please. All your "leaders" need to know is how to mix a drink.

Can you cite an example of something that she said that wasn't particularly knowledge-based? Any stupid things she's' said?

Lastly, can you cite any anti-Capitalist quote from her?
