WASHINGTON — Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., announced Wednesday that she would vote against her own party's rules for the incoming House over restrictions on deficit spending, pushing long-simmering Democratic divisions into public view.

**SNIP**

"PAYGO isn't only bad economics ... it's also a dark political maneuver designed to hamstring progress on healthcare + other leg.," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Wednesday. "We shouldn't hinder ourselves from the start."

She joined Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., who came out against the rules package while warning that PAYGO "unilaterally disarms the incoming Democratic majority's ability to govern."

"With the assurances that PAYGO can be waived, we do plan to vote for the House rules package and proceed with legislation to fix the statute," they said.

Kinda reminds me of, "Since we'll be exempt from Husseincare, we're all for it."

The corporatist democrats are not going to be able to keep the commies at bay any longer. 2020 will be very interesting. The whole democrat machine will be working overtime to destroy the full blown commie candidates. Whether they are successful again this time we shall see.

Progressive democrats are the alligators and Pelosi and the mainstream Democrat establishment have been feeding them, hoping they will eat their feeders last.

Let's not forget that for two years sicko traitor Ryan and the co-conspirators who chose him as their leader gave President Trump an unbalanced budget which addressed neither the wall nor infrastructure. But President Trump signed those bills. He kept getting talked into extending the Illuminati Wars.

There's a very strange place we sometimes get to where the far left and the far right agree. Maybe Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders can find the things they agree on, and those just might be good ideas.

“”Voters are skeptical that either Clinton or Trump will repair the country’s political divisions...”

??

Who believes Hillary would intend to repair anything?

First place it was she and that n good husband of hers who started all of this division.

Democrats want to use PAYGO as tool to raise taxes.

Notice how they call it “paygo” to avoid the common sense “pay as you go” that normal people think of when they spend money.

She is voting to go all-in on deficit spending, in other words, with no restrictions.

Spend Spend Spend.

Bernie and Casio better watch their heads. Nagitive Nancy will remove them from their shoulders before they start to bleed.

She stole other people's tips. So it didn't matter to her.

She voted for Pelosi as Speaker in a chipper voice while grinning widely.

Dirty, smelly, ichor encrusted jackals and buzzards...ALL of them.!

Without “ballot harvesting” in California, these carrion creatures would not now control the House. They feed on the living carcass of the Republic, like parasitic tapeworms.

Could this be the reason suddenly sexual harassment claims against Bernie Sanders surfaced?
