Cortez, the socialist bitch

[ErickAA]

I don't even see what the big deal is. She is representing a district that is 80% mostly poor, uneducated black and Latino people. Given that, her constituency voted her into office because she espouses policies that they believe represent their interests. That is how democracy is supposed to work. If actually instituted on a wide scale most of those policies would probably destroy the country IMO. But I don't exactly expect poor minority 1st generation immigrants living the Bronx and Queens to appreciate these kind of political/economic nuances.

The “big deal” is that with her huge social media following, she is helping other Progressives raise money and awareness among potential voters, so much so that some of the establishment Dems are looking to ride her popularity coattails. That is what is discussed in the article I linked above.

It would be funny and ironic if the Democratic Party was forced to veer sharply to the left because a populist far left figure became super popular with the Democratic base. I think there would be much more resistance than the Republicans had with Trump though, because at the end of the day Trump's policies aren't particularly radical, his methodology and personality is just highly irregular (and many would argue unethical).

Throw out his questionable personal behavior and methods, what has he actually done policy-wise that is a big deviation from what you would expect from a generic Republican president to try to do? Even the travel ban and immigration stuff isn't that big a jump from what was going on in Obama's presidency. The difference is this kind of stuff was done quietly and more diplomatically before; and now him and the media are highly politicizing and charging everything.

Anyways, discounting his personal behavior and the effects of him and the media constantly attacking each other, and I think it is fair to say Trump's presidency is closer to a typical Republican presidency than Cortez (or another socialist) would be to a typical Democratic presidency.

[shortbuspoker]

Overall, we as Americans should be happy she won. Much like Trump will ultimately do with the Republicans, she will show the reasonable Democrats who preposterous and unsound the fringe of the party is. It could possibly least to reaching middle ground at some point in the near future.

LOL the rationalization that ignores that she is champaigning some ideas that will resonate with a lot of the “forgotten-by-the-Establishment” Trump voters *and* the “disillusioned-with-the-Establishment” millenials.



P.S. Wake up, sir. The chasmic divide in American politics in both major parties means that “reaching the middle” is politically dead.

Holy Christ! What are you smoking??? Your own rotten toe cheese???

1) The travel ban is ridiculously far from what Obama did and what Clinton would have done.
2) Alienating our Western democratic allies is asinine and feeds into strengthening Russia’s and the far right’s power in Eastern Europe, as well as motivates China and Europe to jointly say “Fuck You” to the US, neither of which a “typical” Republican presidency would have done.
3) And a “typical” Republican presidency would never have relentlessly attacked the integrity of the press, nor continuously disparage the FBI and greater judiciary like Trump has. That’s why some quite prominent conservative voices have recently called voting for the Dems to take control of Congress.

Ok I see why the Sparten heard such bad things and why Vermin was so fired up/dismissive.
Here's the big deal
http://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/feeding-the-monster/

One paragraph in particular in the article I read was highly suggestive, the claim that Ocasio-Cortez had been strongly opposed to the Israelis’ routine slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, which has by now become of such little import that it is not even reported any more in the U.S. media. She is also allegedly a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction movement (BDS), which pressures Israel to end its theft and occupation of Palestinian land. The article expressed some surprise that anyone in New York City would dare to say anything unpleasant about Israel and still expect to get elected.

This is what Ocasio-Cortez, who called the shooting of more than 130 Gazans a “massacre,” actually said and wrote:

“No state or entity is absolved of mass shootings of protesters. There is no justification. Palestinian people deserve basic human dignity, as anyone else. Democrats can’t be silent about this anymore. I think I was primarily compelled [to speak out] on moral grounds because I could only imagine if 60 people were shot and killed in Ferguson. Or if 60 people were shot and killed in the West Virginia teachers’ strikes. The idea that we are not supposed to talk about people dying when they are engaging in political expression just really moved me.”

WTF now I love immigrants

Israel's our arch enemy and a threat to all mankind. The media is owned by them, all our politicians are sell outs (well maybe not this one but we'll see). They infiltrated our schools so they can brainwash and censor everyone and everything. etc. All their supposed support is totally artificial and certainly not justified. The Arabs used to be great allies, real allies not posers who secretly despise us, look at us as cattle/slaves. Not people hell bent on turning people against each other and white genocide etc.

No matter what one thinks of the Palestine Israel situation you have to admit those Palestinians are tough.

Sparten you need to support Cortez and you need to oppose this dingbat.

I wonder what her position on Venezuela is? By any arbitrary measure the human suffering being inflicted by the Venezuelan govt on its own people is substantially worse than anything going on in Israel. And yet I doubt she has a particularly strong stance. We know the world media isn't too interested.

The amusing thing is FPS doesn't even realize whose side he is on with the whole Israel/Palestine issue. FPS, you are on the same side as the cultural Marxists. Give it a second and let that sink in.

FPS. This is insanely deluded thinking. The MSM is completely inundated with Israel/Palestinian stories compared to similar (and in most cases worse) atrocities going on in Venezuela, Malaysia, several African countries, Yemen, etc. etc. etc. You are a social Marxist and don't even know it.

99% of your posts on this site are supporting one of the biggest causes of social Marxism today, the BDS narrative. In volume, you are the most left wing poster on this entire site.

Edit: I should clarify, whatever Jewish influence in the media there is, it certainly is not prohibiting them from disproportionately covering the Israel-Palestinian conflict in the cause of Cultural Marxism

She's totally open border but still not as dangerous as the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks support using the US military to destabilize pretty much any country besides Israel and creating as many non white refugees as possible under the guise of some noble sounding humanitarian cause. Then with tears in their eyes and propaganda blasting the American people thru their media they will plead with America to help the poor displaced refugees they just created. Then after everyone involved is in a state of total chaos, they'll wink at each other like they're the chosen people, a race of super geniuses, more like a race of super snakes.

The white guy she beat is always hosting these pro immigration meetings like this..
Chairman Crowley Hosts Roundtable with Immigrant-Rights Groups
January 3, 2018 Press
He has a F rating from Numbers USA, which means he pro massive non white immigration.



HAHAHA I bet all his Bolshevik "friends" he appeased with his multiculturalism disappear like his job, good riddance.

All the Democratic white progressives are in for a very rude awakening when the Democratic Party base becomes overwhelmingly minority. Because if given a choice, most minorities aint voting for no white devil. It is a very ironic open secret in American society that the group that is accused the most of racism (whites) are actually pretty much the only group that isn't openly blatantly racist.

Joe Lieberman made me a Cortez supporter, it's behind a paywall now but he urged the guy she just beat, Joe Crowley to run against her again in the general election as a third party candidate. I imagine Lieberman plans on mobilizing some Jews to defeat her. The fact that she speaks against corporate power is a big strike but to have someone that acknowledges that the Palestinians are actually people or to have any concern for their well being what so ever is unconscionable.

Maybe it'll be a good thing if they scheme and take away her victory, do it.

[ErickAA]

I wonder if the established Democrat elite are starting to regret the monster they created by supporting letting in millions of illegal immigrants and letting universities become subverted by cultural Marxism. I guess they figured that all the brown people and young, dumb college educated SJW Marxists would see them as the party of lesser evils and vote them in and let them run the show.

Instead, what they have done is literally let in millions of people who were raised in a completely different culture and don't buy into the whole capitalism con the way our dumb white poor people do, and allowed millions of American kids be brainwashed into supporting extremely radial left wing politics in colleges.

And I predict Cortez is just the beginning. And a lot of white, especially Jewish, Democrats are gonna find themselves voted out of office by minorities who are instead supporting minority candidates with radical platforms that are completely untenable in our current system, or really any system.

In California Feinstein just got rejected by her own party for a Hispanic dude with very progressive politics. That kinda shit is unprecedented and doesn't happen without millions of illegal immigrants form Mexico and Central America living in CA and a couple generations of radicalized college graduates. So enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Welcome to the 21st century white establishment Democrats. Hope you enjoyed your part in burning it all down.

At some point you have to decide what side you are really on. You can't make 10,000 videos about the evils of cultural Marxism and then say you support the election of the most openly cultural Marxist politician that has ever been elected in our nations history, who by the way is completely simpatico with you on the Israel-Palestinian issue (which is consistent because your position is very consistent with cultural Marxism ideals)

I thought she looked pretty cute talking to one of Americas favorite Sayanim.

I haven't listened to her yet, maybe some day. She shouldn't be giving these long interviews. I imagine they're baiting her into saying something provocative to smear her in the future, ya know if her popularity gets out of hand. In the unlikely event she's ever to leak something who do you think she's going to leak to? DON'T DO IT.

That one chick who got busted leaking to the Intercept, the one w the weird name, iirc got 5 years prison. Edit Reality Winner
