Food fight!!!

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused 2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg of espousing Republican philosophy in regards to free education.
Ocasio-Cortez, who has previously endorsed Buttigieg's competitor in Sen. Bernie Sanders, supports both tuition-free college as well as canceling student debt. Sanders also supports both policies.
In a campaign video tweeted out on Thursday, Buttigieg agreed that college should be "affordable for everybody," but questioned the feasibility of implementing a tuition-free system for all.
"There are some voices saying, 'well that doesn't count unless you go even further, unless it's free even for the kids of millionaires,' but I only want to make promises that we can keep," the South Bend, Indiana, mayor stated. "We can gather the majority to drive those big ideas through without turning off half the country before we even get into office."
Ocasio-Cortez argued that Buttigieg's ad was pushing "a GOP talking point used to dismantle public systems" to the ad in a Twitter thread on Thursday. She also said, "It’s sad to see a Dem candidate adopt it.”

Fruit fight!
The bartender really thinks that she runs things. That’s adorable.
“Affordable” is meaningless when the product is ROTTEN!!!
Mayor Buttigieg is rising in the polls, while Elizabeth Warren is falling and Bernie Sanders is stagnant. Maybe even the likely Democrat primary voters realize that everything “free” is going to have to be paid for by somebody, sometime ... and it might even be themselves.
Those two!
What a “pear”.
AC knows that just as women supported Obama becuse he was black. the same women will suppotr mayor Pete because he is queer
Queers are styleishly correct
“ AC knows that just as women supported Obama becuse he was black. the same women will support mayor Pete because he is queer”
I have had that thought as well. I don’t think it will work to the extent it did with Obama, but it will certainly be a consideration.
that hissing sound you hearing in the distance is the air escaping from his balloon.
“Queers are stylishly correct.”
Definitely. Even my rather conservative wife has a soft spot for gays (although not that one). She says that they’re interested in a lot of the same things women are interested in, and they aren’t trying to get into her pants. Cute.
But she’s dead set against transgenders in women’s sports and bathrooms.
This helps Buttigieg
Popcorn for sale...get your popcorn...
Didn’t know she was so homophobic. (Using leftist tactics here)
When a Dem calls out another Dem as using “Republican Talking Points”, it seems be as vile an invective as calling someone can rasssisss. For a Dem, that must be a real 3rd degree burn. Feel the burn?

Show us your boobs.
AOC hates Gay People. Pass it on.
I guess they could do what Florida did after the passage of pre-paid tuition. Tuition costs held steady but mandatory fees skyrocketed, wiping out much of the benefits of pre-paying.
