This is how socialism really works

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a know-it-all ditz. The founder of Greenpeace has called her a "pompous little twit."

While she is amusing, she is also a media darling That makes her dangerous as she is accorded far more press coverage than is warranted. Still, her utterances are both a source of hilarity and a warning. AOC has spent her Congressional tenure bashing America and endorsing socialism. While do so, she exposes her own galactic hypocrisy and demonstrates how socialism and socialist leaders really roll.

Her "Green New Deal" would do away with all fossil fuels and jet aircraft, but that doesn't stop her from using a gas guzzler when she desires:

To achieve this, the GND fact sheet says, the nation must “totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out high-speed rail … create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle.”

But the woman who boasts of a “razor-sharp BS detector” seems to have trouble sniffing out her own.

Since declaring her candidacy in May 2017, Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign heavily relied on those combustion-engine cars — even though a subway station was just 138 feet from her Elmhurst campaign office.

She listed 1,049 transactions for Uber, Lyft, Juno and other car services, federal filings show. The campaign had 505 Uber expenses alone.

In all, Ocasio-Cortez spent $29,365.70 on those emissions-spewing vehicles, along with car and van rentals — even though her Queens HQ was a one-minute walk to the 7 train.

The campaign shelled out only $8,335.41 on 52 MetroCard transactions.

Her explanation? "I'm just living in the world."

Freshman New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responded to The Post’s report on her giant carbon footprint by saying she’s just “living in the world.”

“I also fly and use AC,” the Green New Deal-touting pol tweeted Saturday night. “Living in the world as it is isn’t an argument against working towards a better future.”

Part her Green New Deal is the demand that Americans stop eating "farting cows" but her chief of staff was caught happily downing a burger.

She took great exception to this. Not him eating the farting cow, but someone actually catching him eating it.

She responded with the hypocrite's favorite defense- outrage

She feels America is "garbage" and asserts that capitalism is "irredeemable" 

"To me, capitalism is irredeemable," she added, arguing that capitalism's goals come at a cost to people and the environment, Bloomberg reported.

The congresswoman, who has described herself as a democratic socialist, added during her interview that "we should be scared."

"Just as there’s all this fearmongering that government is going to take over every corporation and government is going to take over every business or every form of production, we should be scared right now because corporations have taken over our government," she said.

That's pretty funny stuff considering the capitalist life style she lives.

AOC has had three ethics complaints filed against her.

The Coolidge Reagan Foundation, a nonprofit, filed an ethics complaint last week alleging that Ocasio-Cortez had used House resources for personal means when she allowed her boyfriend to obtain a House.gov email address. The complaint also alleged that she obtained the email address by falsely listing him as a staff member.

Just a few days earlier, the National Legal and Policy Center had filed a complaint with the FEC alleging an incestuous relationship between Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign and Justice Democrats — a PAC which was at the time controlled by the congresswoman and her chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti — in addition to possible campaign finance violations.

A third complaint was filed by The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, which alleged that Ocasio-Cortez’s social media use may violate House ethics rules. At issue is her use of a political Instagram account — which contains direct links to her House Instagram account and includes a link for political contributions — includes posts of official video footage from the House floor.

Her Chief of Staff funneled a million dollars from her campaign into a two of his own companies:

with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle.”

She should go propose that to the NY chapter of the Hell's Angels. There ain't no politician that will ever make me give up my Harley and I'm pretty certain any MC out there feels even more adamantly so.

We HAVE to let her continue.

If someone shuts her up, we won't have the positive and irrefutable reason to obliterate Leftism, worldwide.

It's simply this. If humanity and freedom is to survive in the same civilization, leftism, and all of it's believers, IE the Left Side of the Bell Curve, must be expunged from existence.

We won't eliminate Stupid, as a genetic characteristic, but we can slow it's spread.

I agree.

Originally I detested her.

Now I really like her. She is making the dim party’s plans obvious to the most dense.

I hope she is on TV all day every day until election day.

She just might save our country. The rinos and other squish politicians sure won’t save us.

I wish SOMEONE on the National Stage would tell the truth! When the Government runs Healthcare, the people are at the mercy of the Government. The Government decides IF you will get the care you need, and if they decide yes, they then decide WHEN you will get that needed care. And still allowing private healthcare is nice, but those who need private care just to get the care they need, are paying (through taxes) for everybody else’s healthcare first in their taxes, then they pay EXTRA for their private insurance. WAKE UP, AMERICA!!
