The new face of an emerging democratic socialist movement joined its patriarch in the most unlikely place Friday, calling on Kansans unhappy with the direction of the country to get off the sidelines in a pivotal Republican-held congressional district.

“We know that people in Kansas, just like everywhere else in this country, just like families in the Bronx, just want a fair shake,” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the surprise winner in a New York House primary last month, told a frenetic crowd of more than 3,000 in a Kansas suburb of Kansas City.

Their combined messages sought to unite not just the diverse group in the hall, but restless liberals around the country.

Just because two world leaders met behind closed doors as world leaders often do...some in government and all of MSM are screaming "treason". Yet we have here two Socialists, anti-U.S. Constitutionals who want to 'lead' in our Constitutional Republic. Vote for an old hypocritical Communist and a young air-head, both enemies to Freedom and Liberty?

Both Sanders and Alexandria pledge not to honor the U.S.Constitution; as Socialists they are only interested in Big Government an entity that only works with other people's money.

Socialism...

[raiderboy]

There are a few communist in every state. It is a mental disorder.

[rktman]

And then ocasio cortez says they're gonna turn that seat red. Uh, like commie red or republican red. DOH! 🙀

[Flavious_Maximus]

I would bet the majority of those 3000 people in attendance work for the government or are on welfare.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

No one ever says REAL Nationalist Socialism has never been tried.

[relictele]

The Dems are so bereft of appealing candidates they fly anyone with a pulse all over creation.

“just like families in the Bronx, just want a fair shake,”

SHAKEDOWN!

Xe misspoke.

[fieldmarshaldj]

How Socialism Actually Works should include a 3rd bar: “The politburo” with a bar soaring off the screen as it loots from the rich, the middle class and the poor (and outside forces that subsidize their totalitarian regime).

[NormsRevenge]

You’re not in New York anymore , Toto.

a fair shake?

That’s all we all want, Ocasio. Seen any on mainstream media lately?

[raiderboy]

Of course. I refer to them as “Parasites”. Parasites will kill a host if the host doesn’t throw them off.

[Bonemaker]

Kansas City, KS is like any other shitty metro area...loaded with filthy democrats.

[virgil]

This graph leaves out the ruling class. That’s where most of the money will go. The rest of will wait in long lines for bread.

[raiderboy]

This is so great gang. The Dems have nothing. To fill that vacuum you see communists taking over that worthless party. Black American and Hispanic Americans are walking away by the millions as they respond to the new opportunities brought to them by Trump. . The party is now ALT leftist and radical extremists, like MAD MAX and the Cortez girl. Its all financed by Soros. The American people see them and will respond quite vigorously in opposition.

[raiderboy]

giant parasite nests.

[Bonemaker]

“No one ever says REAL Nationalist Socialism has never been tried.”

We have the modern day democrat reincsrnation of Roland Freisler in the person of Herr Robert Mueller. May he meet the same fate.

““We know that people in Kansas, just like everywhere else in this country, just like families in the Bronx, just want a fair shake,”

They’ve already got it...next subject.

[Theodore R.]

Is KS ripe for socialism? They used to ask, “What’s the matter with Kansas?”

[Theodore R.]

HST used to laugh that K.C. is a suburb of his Independence. It’s a heavily Democrat area for sure, and HST would be right there cheering them along.
