Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can on occasion be summed up with the following meme:
That sums up not just AOC, but many other politicians who have gotten the country $40 trillion in debt with initiatives that they promised us "will pay for themselves."
The Rep from New York with presidential ambitions has another mathematical awakening coming to her when her party tries to override any Trump vetoes of the coming Democrat madness. AOC claimed the Democrats are "in striking distance" of veto overrides.
AOC on Trump Veto Threats: We’re within striking distance of veto overrides. So we can do it the nice way, or we can do it the hard way. I do think that this president does not want to be seen as impotent for the next two years. https://t.co/zG1HJTOe6F

There is in fact no "striking distance" unless the unhinged Democrats and socialists are joined by several Republicans, and Thomas Massie will be out of office by the time Dems take control.
Votes required to override a presidential veto: House: 290 votes Senate: 67 votes

Well, that's the thing. He's NOT impotent if he can veto you, Sandy. You simply don't have enough votes to override, but thanks for playing.

She's so bad at math. Needed for a veto override: -290 votes in the House -67 votes in the Senate Projected Dem Majorities: -257 to 260 in the House -55 to 56 in the Senate

Hey Capitol Hill media, please make sure all cameras are on AOC when she discovers the hard way that, no, her party isn't really very close to being able to override Trump's vetoes.
