Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sure wants everyone to think she’s some underdog RADICAL fighting for the little guy since she’s a socialist …
We suppose fighting to give the government more control over the American people is a radical idea. A stupid one, but radical, sure.
The fact that my platform is called “radical” is more a reflection of our current political moment & how far we’ve strayed from our bold, visionary past.
Luckily, we can correct course.
Besides, smart, compassionate radicals have made this nation better.https://t.co/xdqq12px9r

Correct course? Ummm … so much no.
Slave abolitionists were radical.
Suffragettes were radical.
Civil Rights organizers were radical.
Labor organizers + the 40-hour workweek were radical once, too.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 4, 2018
- Slave abolitionists – Republicans
- Suffragettes – The first state to give women the right to vote was a SERIOUSLY red one, Wyoming.
- Civil Rights – Republicans
- Fine, she can have the unions. (ha!)
We’re not sure Ocasio-Cortez thought this through.
So was Bill Ayers.

Truth.
And likely held similar beliefs to Ocasio-Cortez.
You aren't about freeing anyone. Or expanding rights.
We've seen your brand of bullshit play out from Cambodia to Venezuela.

Socialism just hasn’t been instituted correctly, DUH.

HA HA HA HA.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Elaborate on your free stuff platform. Tell us where the money to pay for all those "free" things will come from.

The money fairy picks it from the money trees that exist in the money mountains over there in Moneyville.
Duh.
Slave Abolitionists were the foundation of the Republican Party who freed the Democrats' Slaves
Civil Rights Organizers were Republicans who overcame Democrats' KKK & Jim Crow Laws

It’s easy to pretend you care for the little guy when you’re far from it yourself.
You're a privileged upper middle class millennial enamored of romanticized socialism after being brainwashed in a fabulously expensive college.
You're the least "radical" person there is.

Oops.
Sort of like Bernie with his three homes, eh?
Socialists. *eye roll*
