Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who holds progressive stances on income inequality, charged as much as $2,700 for tickets at a fundraising event in San Francisco on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old held two events in San Francisco’s Mission District, one at 7 p.m. that sold tickets between $500 and $2,700 and another at 7:30 pm. The second event was sold out and moved to a larger venue to accommodate for 400 to 500 people, according to SFGate.

Should not her rallies have open borders?
And if they are two-faced enough to charge folks, why not charge them in the currency of the very successful Venezuela?

From the donors according to their wallets, to the peasants according to their ethnicity or LGBTIA status.

As a socialist she should be relying on the peasants to give a donation instead of charging.

She’s a socialist. Tickets should be according to each one’s abilities. bammy and hillary would pay $5,000. I would pay 5 cents.

How come this lil Commie doesn’t allow everyone in for free, she wants free college, free health care, free housing, free everything, but if you want to meet her in person, its gonna cost ya some Benjamins and Franklins

L — lesbian

G — gay

B — bisexual

T — transgender (Transgender is an acceptable label for anyone who does not identify as the gender they were assigned to at birth. An asterisk (i.e., trans*) was once used to include non-binary people, but it’s not necessary, since non-binary people are already trans.)

Q — queer or questioning; the Q stands for both.

I — intersex (this is controversial, and some intersex people do not wish to be considered LGBTQ+.)

A — the asexual and/or aromantic spectrum; includes grey-asexuality, demisexuality, etc. Historically, it has been used to stand for “allies” as well—but specifically in order to cover for the closeted individuals in LGBTQ+ spaces. The “A” is definitely not for allies who are both straight and cisgender.

The “+” includes all other queer identities that have not already been mentioned, such as pansexuality and polysexuality.

Let’s just call them the ‘genital thinkers’

Meaning people whose whole life revolves around their sex organs, and where they like to stick them.
