It sounds like the plot of some brain-dead Hollywood comedy that has already been made too many times:
Movie executive: OK, heres an idea. You know those geniuses who Jay Leno used to interview on the street who couldnt answer basic questions like who the vice president is, or what Columbus Day celebrates? Well, what if someone like that ran for Congress and actually won? How funny would that be!
Producer: Great! Well get Amy Schumer or Lena Dunham to play the lead!
Executive: No, I said its supposed to be funny.
Yes, youve seen some version of this before. It was basically The Distinguished Gentleman, and Legally Blonde 2, and now its been rebooted for the millennial generation in the form of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez Goes to Washington (If She Can Find It).
But this version is less funny than the originals (which says a lot) because its actually happening. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a twenty-eight-year old community organizer
or something (actually, its unclear even from her own website what exactly she does for a living, though she was a bartender less than a year ago)
and of the almost 700,000 people in New Yorks 14th congressional district, about 15,000 of them decided for everyone else that she is the most qualified person to represent them in Congress. And though that was just a primary election, there is no doubt she will win Novembers general election, because shes a Democrat and 110% of the voters in her district are also Democrats. (I added the extra 10% to account for fraudulent voters and dead people, though thats probably a conservative estimate). All that remains is her coronation.

What about those who voted for her?
Stupid, self-contradictory headline
This was a very low turnout election that elected this gal. There is no doubt that she will Garner some votes because of all the attention she is getting. And nobody should underestimate the stupidity of the kinds of Voters who might dominate in her District. But to think that the candidate that she dislodged is going to just sit back and let the gravy train that he perceives to just drive by is in my opinion naive. It may well be that the Tom Perez’s and the Keith Ellison’s of the world think that Alexandra is the future of the Democratic Party, but I strongly suspect that Nancy Pelosi and Dick Durbin do not regard her as that attractive of a candidate, excepting little enclaves, exactly where she is. In other words she is a Yorkshire Terrier, she’s a cute little pet off in the corner, but there is always the chance that she will take a poop on the carpet. My point is that I do not regard her election as representative from that District as any kind of done deal. On the other hand maybe they get Kamala Harris and this one and a couple of others and turn it into the year of the woman. It is my contention that Hillary lost primarily because she lost the women’s vote, when women saw how pathological a liar she actually was. At that point she was no longer any kind of role model for their daughters, and that Suburban white vote for Hillary became very discouraged. At least that is my theory.
Worked as a bartender too.
She’s an example of a prestigious degree from a major university, not translating into a good job/career path.
Abject stupidity
Following years of “dumbing down” by Progressive control of education bureaucracies, this is example of the resulting product: ignorance posing as leadership. We’ve seen it for the past decade, haven’t we?
LOL @ your last comment, but it’s gotta go.
She’s not just fresh out of mommy & daddy’s basement. She’s fresh out of a university where she MAJORED in economics & international relations. And apparently was fourth in her class. How can you graduate & be such an imbecile? Probably because of Marxist professors who teach nothing but that capitalism is evil.
Students like AOC shouldn’t be forgiven their college debt. They should get their money back from the university for NOT RECEIVING AN EDUCATION!
It isn’t ignorance. Somewhere in her head she expects to be in charge of the tipping out...
Sometimes, I know Jim's gonna yank it, but I just can't help myself.
Ms Cortez has demonstrated beyond a shadow of doubt that she is utterly effing clueless and breathtakingly ignorant. She is completely unqualified to make law/policy when she so obviously knows virtually nothing about the real world.
“..Shes fresh out of a university where she MAJORED in economics & international relations. ...”
And probably lived free of charge in mom and dad’s basement while she went.
“..How can you graduate & be such an imbecile?...”
Because when you’re TAUGHT by imbeciles, there isn’t much of a choice to be anything BUT an imbecile.
She’s a typical democrat, just actually has the BALLS to admit what she really is.
She probably OD'd watching cnn coverage of old bugeyes Schiff for brains and figured there must be a bugeye caucus she was right for, so she ran for the spot.
She reminds me of a bunny. Pretty cute but dumb as toast
Not so fast
Ol white boy is running 3rd and will destroy her
Shell do plenty of damage before then of course
Actually, it’s the blithe ignorance of millennials
that appeals to socialists.
“Ms Cortez has demonstrated beyond a shadow of doubt that she is utterly effing clueless and breathtakingly ignorant. She is completely unqualified to make law/policy when she so obviously knows virtually nothing about the real world.”
Didn’t we just finish up with a President like that?
This is why people like Joseph Lieberman came out and endorsed Crowley. The Dems don't want people to know how awful socialism is off the bat. They have to keep playing the incremental game, but AOC and other young whippersnappers have ruined it for them.
