Wait, she only saved the United States? What happened to the rest of the world?

“Maybe it will be called Planet of the Apes so she could pound sand on the beach and wail.”

Reference doesnt work. George Taylor was bummed that america was destroyed, where that is a prime goal for occasional-kotex

I thought she gave up social media because it was bad of her health.

Cortez can take her “Medicare for all” and shove it up her ass.

Keep your hands off my healthcare.

This is produced by the Sunrise Movement.Started with $30,000.00 of our tax dollars and free office space from Sierra Club. Also connected to the justice democrats. Of course both are 501C non profits.

Some might classify this as science fiction, but anyone with a brain knows it’s just fantasy, like AOC’s economics degree, her growing up in the Bronx and her IQ.

Sure, Cortez’ plan would appeal to the deadbeats & dumbbells. Enacting her plan & losing the whole country doesn’t seem like much of a plan to me. It doesn’t take a college education to figure that one out either

Here’s the video

7:35 minutes
A Message From the Future With Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9uTH0iprVQ
Video description:

What if we actually pulled off a Green New Deal? What would the future look like? The Intercept presents a film narrated by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and illustrated by Molly Crabapple.

Set a couple of decades from now, the film is a flat-out rejection of the idea that a dystopian future is a forgone conclusion. Instead, it offers a thought experiment: What if we decided not to drive off the climate cliff? What if we chose to radically change course and save both our habitat and ourselves?

We realized that the biggest obstacle to the kind of transformative change the Green New Deal envisions is overcoming the skepticism that humanity could ever pull off something at this scale and speed. That’s the message we’ve been hearing from the “serious” center for four months straight: that it’s too big, too ambitious, that our Twitter-addled brains are incapable of it, and that we are destined to just watch walruses fall to their deaths on Netflix until it’s too late.

This film flips the script. It’s about how, in the nick of time, a critical mass of humanity in the largest economy on earth came to believe that we were actually worth saving. Because, as Ocasio-Cortez says in the film, our future has not been written yet and “we can be whatever we have the courage to see.”

Soylent Green New Deal. If a national attempt were made to implement her GND that is what it might well morph into.

Didn’t take her long to figure out how to suck the bucks out of the system for personal pleasures/propaganda instead of doing her job...whatever that is....

George Bailey can run through towns and cities, that are now unrecognizable, due to the effects of AOC Potter’s “deal”.

Or the Hobbits in LOTR being chained and whipped by Orcs in the alternate reality of a failed mission.

Yes....you’ve got the idea!

That might be more relevant to the millennial crowd.
