Earlier Saturday, Twitchy highlighted a tweet by the New York City Democratic Socialists of America, demanding that not only ICE be abolished, but also profit, prisons, cash bail, and borders. Peter J. Hasson pointed out that recent congressional primary winner Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a dues-paying member of the NYC DSA.
Ashley Feinberg — whom we’d swear to this day still insists she didn’t get owned by Ted Cruz over at Deadspin (she did, hard) — is taking the attention given to that tweet as evidence that conservatives are scared of Ocasio-Cortez and are boosting her campaign by giving her platform so much exposure.
my favorite new thing is how scared conservatives are of ocasio-cortez and how they keep accidentally campaigning for her in the process pic.twitter.com/5a016kEWqW

Yes, we’re terrified — we’re so scared that Democrats will campaign this fall on abolishing profit. And prisons. And the border.
You should make her the face of your movement tbh

Do it. Sorry, Kamala.
Yes it would be absolutely catastrophic for Republicans if you promoted her as the new face of progressive democratic socialism. Please don’t do that!

We're shaking in our boots from a bartender who read the Communist Manifesto and managed to barely squeak by an incumbent in a primary where hardly anyone showed up to vote.

Not even a little. We LOVE her. She's the next best thing to Pelosi. Lord willing they will both keep talking and the media will keep covering them.

Are you kidding? We love her! I’m replying to this tweet just to keep the ball rolling.

Is this fear, or pointing out that a rising star in one of two major parties wants to “abolish profit” apparently? Or is at least allied with those who do.

Yes, abolish profit will play so well in Midwest.

Let us know how that whole "No profit" deal goes over with most Americans.

Scared?
Not scared, just flabbergasted that there are still people on the planet who are dumb enough to believe #Socialism can actually work.— Nationalist Conservatopia (@WTPatty) July 1, 2018
PLEASE, Dems. Run more Socialists like her ??????????

This is literally how the Right got Trump and I know many conservatives who are more than happy to sit back and watch the Left imitate that strategy at their own peril https://t.co/f4cO2r9Cd0
— Peter J. Hasson (@peterjhasson) July 1, 2018
I'm pretty scared & I sure hope Democrats are really quiet about what she stands for & say anything about it really loudly, especially in red states where Dem senators are running. I'm really really really scared of that happening and I sure hope they don't do it. @hughhewitt https://t.co/9K7pCjyAVw
