Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the democratic socialist who unseated Rep. Joe Crowley in a shocking upset earlier this year, expressed “outrage” on behalf of her constituents over the opening of a new Amazon headquarters in Long Island City, Queens.
Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need MORE investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here.

I can't understand how this 29 year old got elected. It has to be that most of her voters were under the age of 19 and stupid to life but yet old enough to vote.
She is certifiable.

All I have been hearing from Millenials in my area is that they want it and if they dont get it they are going to blame the Republicans in the state level for the social laws they are for.

I can't understand how this 29 year old got elected. It has to be that most of her voters were under the age of 19 and stupid to life but yet old enough to vote. Her district elected the smartest and brightest among them....

How dare Amazon bring money and jobs to Long Island!
I think Amazon is going to quickly regret locating in NY and northern Virginia instead of Austin or Dallas.

Tunnel vision Alexandria.
Can’t see or understand all sides to an issue.
However, I wish she and democrats in the city would go ahead and force Amazon to leave the city. Plenty of other locations vying for such a store/warehouse/business. Only LOSER would be NY City, and Alexandria would never admit the error of her insanity, and neither would her supporters.

Just think of her as “Pelosi II”.
Being only 29, and considering the NY voters, she may be there a LONG time.
