Pelosi says Ocasio-Cortez win shouldn't be 'viewed as something' larger

"They made a choice in one district. So let’s not get yourself carried away as an expert on demographics and the rest of that," Pelosi told reporters at a news conference.

"Within the caucus or outside the caucus, we are ... again, we have an array of genders, generations, geography, and there is opinion in our caucus, and we’re proud of that," Pelosi added.

She noted that Ocasio-Cortez, a 28-year-old democratic socialist who ran to the left of Crowley, is from a "very progressive district in New York" while noting that Crowley is a progressive but Ocasio-Cortez is "more left than" the congressman she defeated.

"The fact that in a very progressive district in New York it went more progressive than ... well, Joe Crowley is a progressive, but she’s more left than Joe Crowley, is about that district. It is not to be viewed as something that stands for anything else."

Utopians are becoming convinced that modern IT technology will be the thing that finally makes it possible to centrally manage an economy.

Once SAP releases that Five Year Plan module...

I’m sure that she’ll become wealthy in the effort.

a young woman with a pretty face through sheer force of will can solve the problems that have bedeviled central planners for a century,

When you are a fanatical worshiper of big government, and you believe that the ends justify the means and that might makes right, and that anything goes, then big government + force can make your utopian fantasies come true.

Socialism NEVER WORKS.
It didn’t work for the Pilgrims and it’s never worked since.

The obsession with this woman is creepy as hell. There are fifty other deep blue district Democrats just like her, and whose voting records will be basically identical at the end of the 116th Congress. Who cares?

I taught university-level econ courses and if I had a student who espoused the totally-uninformed crap she does, I’d have flunked her. Even a Socialist economist with a modicum of knowledge about micro and macro policy wouldn’t make the stupid statements she’s made. The good news is that she’s equally stupid about other things (e.g., “The three branches of government at the President, the House, and the Senate.”). Yep, Brown graduated an econ major with the IQ of broccoli.

a young woman with a pretty face

I see and hear this description all the time and I do not get it. She is friggin' ugly as hell. When did bug-eyes and an oversized mule mouth become 'pretty'?

So many say that REAL Communist Socialism has never been tried.

But NO ONE ever says Real Nationalist Socialism has never been tried.

The articles about this lady just bore me now. Much like any that talk about Clintons, dorkbama, Schumer or Pelosi. Life is too short.

"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Won't Be the One to Finally Make Socialism Work"

That inbred, microcephalic mouth-breather couldn't figure out how to make a Pez dispenser work, much less socialism.

Why not?

Dunning-Kruger says she's the smartest one in the room.

(Otto Core Wrecked changed that to Dunno-Kruger...)

No, of course she won't.

She's more like the next Che, who doesn't have a gun yet.

I’m ashamed that my alma mater would not
only have admitted her (affirmative action
doubtless) but that they promoted her and
similar politically active lib freaks in the alumni magazine

I called them irately and told them no more propaganda
and donations
