Socialist Dem Ocasio-Cortez laments coffee shop's closure - over wage hikes that she supports

New York Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez portrays herself as "a normal, working person," but one of her positions may have helped 150 people lose their jobs.

After enduring mockery for declaring Sunday that a walk in a national park was an example of democratic socialism, Ocasio-Cortez lamented Monday the shutting down of an iconic New York coffee shop that closed mostly due to a higher minimum wage – which Ocasio-Cortez supported.

**SNIP**

But unlike what Ocasio-Cortez wants you to believe about the closing down, it wasn’t the result of greedy capitalists trying to squeeze the workers, but rather government regulations that forced the company to go bust.

Uh, oh. She doesn't know. That's adorable.

To be honest, the obsession with her is bordering on creepy. Why does this one Democrat U.S. House nominee in a deep blue district warrant all this coverage again?

[EURASLEEP]

Cuz she’s hawt, ermergerd!

[ChiMark]

she is the poster child for the new Democrat movement.

Give her more coverage.

I think Ms. Occasional-Kotex needs to go back to bartending.

That's how Zero got started

Because she’s our future!

AlOCo isn't smart enough to understand the business model of a lemonade stand...

Ha! Good one.

Can we now use the acronym “OK”?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

That is sooooooo true.

The reason is that the Clinton’s voters would have been Bernie voters!

I couldn’t agree more, she’s essentially a mindless nobody that’s been uplifted out of a small district into the national spotlight. But think of it, that’s how obama got started, and look where he wound up, and being elected twice.

The MSM wing of the rat party was very successful at promoting the mindless wonder (obama) with an empty slogan (Hope & Change) that had zero substance.

I just wonder what Occasional-Cortex’s slogan will be?

Oh, for God’s sake, leave two bucks on the bar and go home. She’ll love you forever.

[SMARTY]

Believe me-if she was not so photogenic, they wouldn’t give her 5 seconds coverage.

The real cause was probably that the business was failing anyway.

"To be honest, the obsession with her is bordering on creepy. Why does this one Democrat U.S. House nominee in a deep blue district warrant all this coverage again?"

IMO, there are two reasons. The first one from the left. She is young, a minority, a declared socialist and relatively pretty. This is the poster child of everything the left wants to exude to America. Look at us America, this is who we are!! So she has been pushed on all the leftist talk shows with that in mind.

Now the perspective from the right. She is a declared socialist, not very bright and naive about what she believes in. She is the poster child for the right of what is wrong with the left. As Reagan once famously said, "The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

Stop! In the name of Mao!

Change and Hope

Heck no, we WANT her to stick around. Make her the future of the democRAT party. Let the looneys run the asylum I say.

[certrtwngnut]

Maybe the place closed because the brilliant, witty, beautiful occasional vortex left their company. They were unable to fill the void when she left.
