IOWA CITY, Iowa - Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez spoke of an unhealthy country nearly teetering on the brink of collapse in a speech on behalf of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders at an Iowa campaign rally, saying radical change is necessary to reverse the bipartisan policies that have deeply hurt the economic circumstances of the average person in the United States.
AOC cited the falling life expectancy of white people and stagnated wages as evidence that the U.S. is a "nation in decline" and said "it’s up to us to turn it around. The trends that got us here will not get us out."
In her remarks, AOC also spoke about the "lock her up" chants often heard at President Trump's rallies. Rather than chastise the individuals responsible, AOC said systemic forces are responsible for driving people to such rhetoric.
"That phrase came from somewhere but what this society does to people. The worst thing we can think to do to a person. It stems from a culture of mass incarceration and culture. These things are connected," she said. "It is cultural, it is societal. And really what we are seeing when generations have worse outcomes or are predicted to have worse outcomes than before, when billionaires coexist with the highest rates of homelessness since the Great Depression."

At the beginning of the rally, Sanders phoned in from Washington and gave his thanks to the three speakers.
The ineligible bartender headlines a presidential election event and the candidate calls long-distance. Could've been from a hospital bed. Who knows...
She’s running to be his VP
AOC and those other weirdos are destroying the party.
That’s a great thing.
What’s even greater is soros living out his last year DYING that he could never achieve the status and power that Donald Trump has.
It’s killing him.
The Democrats seem to think we are in the midst of the Great Depression and that all the people are filled with despair, hoping for higher taxes to come and rescue us from our malaise.
AOC and those other weirdos are destroying the party.

Yup
A thousand years ago while in college I wrote a paper titled, How to make an American President. ......this a0c table dancer is making my argument. .....Lord help us. ...we are stuck with her for the next 40 years. ......I wonder how long it takes her to steal her first million?
BTW, SHE didn’t make that 170,000 last year.
She TOOK it.
Most billionaires earned it.
Talk about pot calling kettle
Is she saying she wants to make America great again?
Show us your boobs!
Wait...
I thought the dropping of life expectancy for Evil White People was supposed to be a Good Thing. No?

IOWA Democrats....your candidates running for POTUS all “STINK” period...be smart and patriotic and boycott your caucus being held for the Democrat Party 2020 POTUS Candidates in the state of IOWA....you never see the entire crowd of campaign supporters attending their rallies.
All you get, is the Candidate or their surrogate, with about 25 people sitting or standing behind them...but you never see how many folks are actually there!!!
That scene tells me that very few Democrat voters in Iowa are turning out to attend these rallies. We will see if POTUS, Trump tries the same trick this coming week when he holds his rally in Des Moines, IOWA (Trump is in Wildwood, New Jersey on Tuesday of the coming week and on Thursday of the same week will be at his rally in Des Moines, Iowa.
Will Trump get only 25 people in Des Moines or will he get 25,000 people? If I were a betting man, I would put my money on Trump to come up with 20,000 to 25,000 thousand rally attendees!!!caucus primary farce or, write-in Donald J. Trump or better yet.....MICKEY MOUSE!!!

Reality has been banished and they celebrate its shunning. Just repeat your dream enough times and it becomes true.
I bet she was a lousy bartender. She kept her job because some of the drunken regulars wanted to do her. And most likely some of them did.
She’s n it old enough. But she will get to pick his VP.
One has to occasionally let the Rat have a pellet or they stop pushing the bar.
The trait of liberals that is rarely talked about...greedy.
The decline was between 2009 and 2016, when an America-hating bastard was in the White House. It has since stopped, but will resume again if a democrat is elected.
One sign that freedom in the USA is in danger is having Communists elected to our government from Democrat-run states. The most ignorant generation is now voting for the Leftist ideology that we sent our soldiers to fight against in the past.
Does the Constitution give an age for VP?
Maybe she plans to settle for a cabinet post or being WH chief of staff
Have to be 35 to assume the office of president which is about the only thing VP is for.
