Ocasio-Cortez: I’ll be d*mned if democrats take the “middle of the road” in 2020.

On Monday, during a rally held by the controversial Sunrise Movement, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY, 14) expressed that she refuses to allow the Democratic Party to nominate a “middle of the road” candidate in 2020.

“I’ll be d*mned if the same politicians who refused to act (in past decades) are going to try to come back today and say we need a ‘middle of the road’ approach to save our lives,” Ocasio-Cortez declared.

Ocasio-Cortez remarks come just after former Vice President Joe Biden expressed that democrats need to find “middle ground” on climate change policy, as reported by Reuters.

The freshman congresswoman has described climate change as being “our World War II” and also predicted that the “world is going to end in 12 years” literally, if global warming is not addressed.

Regardless of what they do, she and her demonrats are already damned.

She sure has a lot of wisdom considering her only other job was making margaritas in a NYC bar.

She is an extremist by her own admission and can hardly object if she is labeled such.

So far she has done nothing but shoot off her mouth with plans that would NEVER work, po "normal" Dem reps and drive voters to a "Is she nuts" mode.

She thinks she's hot. Allusions of Grandeur. Isn't that a sickness??

She’s right; she’ll be damned. And it won’t matter where the Rats are located in the road.

She is a mouthpiece, a frontman.

I think Biden put her up to it. By comparison he looks moderate.

NY 14th Congr Dist. is over 46% Hispanic and despite the rumors, AOC got about 110K votes out of a population of around 700K and 141K votes cast.

She may say some stupid things and have stupid positions, but you can't say she isn't dominating the news.

As for voters being stupid, aren't almost half of the voters stupid in all elections?

As a former NYer, I can attest to the fact that the influence of Marxism/communism runs high in New York. It is probably the most commie big city in the country.

“‘middle of the road’ approach to save our lives,” Ocasio-Cortez declared.”

Fearmongering or scaremongering is the spreading of frightening and exaggerated rumors of an impending danger or the habit or tactic of purposely and needlessly arousing public fear about an issue.

She must be a Republican deep-cover operative dedicated to Trump’s 2020 victory!

You go girl... We’re all counting on you to remake the Democrat brand into your image... An unbalanced Socialist no nothing with a twisted understanding of reality.

Publicizing the radical left rat agenda, forcing rat candidates to try to out leftist each other in order to not be lost in the pack... Is it any wonder we love her so? She is the gift that just keeps on giving. Keep it up sweetheart, keep showing the middle majority just how radical and out of touch your party has become.
