Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

it's even worse than that. in addition to the Amazon jobs, between 40,000 and 60,000 additional non-amazon jobs (to support the new amazon employees) were expected to have been created.

oh and the amazon jobs were supposed to average $150,000 a year

but hey, no gentrification so AOC's happy

25,000 jobs at an *average* of $150,000??? Even if true, a number of upper management making many millions in pay can seriously skew the arithmetic average. What was the projected *medium* compensation?

sounds like a crazy number but that comes from amazon itself. i googled it and didn't see any word of a median income, but short of bezos, himself, being on the payroll, i would think it would be impossible for it to just be a handful of top executives making a ton of money.

There's probably not more than a handful of top executives making more than $1,000,000 as it is. you would need $3.75 billion to average $150,000 for 25,000 people

my employer paid out 1.5b in bonuses alone this year.

I could help AOC with her public perception, sex sells, just wear tight clothing with low cleavage and 50% of all men will vote for you just solely based on that.....there....don't say I'm all hate....

She is really underestimating her sex factor, God gave you that nice rack, socialize that cleavage.....one time...

Kyrsten Sinema recognized this, and even played up the bisexual thing.

Great success!

an AOC sex tape would set the fucking universe on fire.

there, i said it.

AOC just getting buried on MSNBC today, saying she's "economically illiterate" for celebrating the loss of $1,000,000,000 to NY a year.

did anybody actually watch the video of her celebrating this?

this will be a very unpopular opinion, but she's essentially a less intelligent donald trump.

i'm seriously beginning to loathe her and she will become the de facto candidate trump is running against in 2020. her idiotic statements -- like "the reason unemployment is low is because people work two jobs" (that actually happened) -- will be what trump runs against. eliminate air travel in 10 years? can you please shut the fuck up and not say this publicly?

you're fucking handing the election to trump, which i'm on record as saying i didn't think was possible.

she needs to clear every single word she wants to say by nancy pelosi before actually saying it

Between allowing AOC to become the de facto Democratic spokesperson and passing abortion legislation supported by only 13% of Americans, the Dems are really doing their best to get Trump reelected.

Trump may run better than any politician in memory. First a weak Republican field, then Hillary completely screwing up the campaign strategy, and now Dems shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly.

Nice life. If I run that well this summer, I'll win 3 bracelets.

[Tellafriend]

i'm going to need you all to actually watch this. only 90 seconds. you need to actually watch her talk to get a feel for her lack of intelligence.

"well we were subsidizing those jobs." what the fuck? NO YOU WEREN'T YOU FUCKING IDIOT. does she not understand basic economics, incentives, taxes?

she wants to take the $3,000,000,000 in tax breaks that amazon would get -- but only if they first brought in $27,000,000,000 in tax revenue -- and redistribute it to teachers, etc.?

what money?

tine don't ever defend this monstrosity again. congrats AOC, you've set back the progressive agenda 80 years.

Exhibit A on why universal suffrage is a bad idea.

LOL your assessment that the Dems losing versus Trump because the Dems becoming more progressive because of AOC’s popularity! Progressive like AOC are motivating legions of otherwise politically apathetic “socialism”-loving millenials to get politically active. And establishment Dems like Kamala Harris and Cory Booker will be a hell of lot more politically savvy in tapping into that enthusiasm than the hubristically self-assured Hillary Clinton.

literally anyone would drive huge anti-trump numbers in 2020. it's the reason i've said i don't think trump will get reelcted. it was close in 2016 with no tunout from minorities or young people.

but, i'm terrible at predicting and was wrong in 2016, obv. AOC is needlessly complicating things with some of her idiotic statements. trump is already running on some of the details of the "green new deal."

how do you think lines like "we'll provide guaranteed universal income to those unable OR UNWILLING to work" will play with most people?

how about, we'll eliminate air travel in 10 years? you don't think trump will hammer all dems with this?

she just chased amazon and 60,000+ jobs out of new york cause she's brain dead.

for all her faults, nancy pelosi would never make these horrific mistakes

she needs to shut the fuck up. for real.

Trump won’t be running against AOC in 2020. She can make a ton of gaffes before then and still end up motivating millions of millenials to come out and vote for the eventual Dem candidate for prez.

You know who else was perceived as a gaffe machine by his political opponents, even within his own party, before he proved the skeptics wrong because they severely underestimated his ability to get beyond the gaffes and communicate his core messages that spoke to enough in the electorate?

jesus, why would u compare Reagan to AOC and not trump unless u were completely out of it



oh

[GambleBotsChafedPenis]

an AOC sex tape would set the fucking universe on fire.

I said it earlier in this thread, it's out there...

I want my green rep on this post when it comes out...

[Dan Druff]

Mumbles, Reagan was very appealing to the masses and seemed to make sense to swing voters, especially ones frustrated with the government's various failures in the 70s.

AOC has tons of extreme and ill-informed ideas which don't play well with middle-ground voters. Even if she excites some additional young people to vote at a higher rate, she will lose more swing voters compared to a more traditional Democratic candidate.

A young, exciting candidate isn't a bad idea, but it has to be one who is intelligent, informed, and non-extreme. AOC is the clueless, idealistic college student whose ideas won't play well with mainstream America, especially when they come from a place of ignorance.

[thesidedish]

mumbles is an interesting study, it is guaranteed that he will behave in the way the MSM is trending. I get why 20 something millennials do it, fitting in is their #1 priority usually, but how does one explain the baby boomers that are so easily manipulated? I guess u just kinda have to go with it so u don't question the last 50 years of ur life??

[OSA]

What if Judge Judy ran in the primaries against Trump? Would she make it close or even win?

[Mintjewlips]

Just bring the girls out sweetie, those old cunts have to cover their chest because they have no choice.

Nothing like a titillating candidate.....

[Mintjewlips]

Your face is ok, but we never look at your face with a body like that, you can socialize me anyday....

She’s going to be a net negative. Gaffes are one thing. They’re like mental typos. Guys like Biden or Reagan, it almost was endearing. These aren’t gaffes. She appears stone cold stupid. All her early success and social media popularity is emboldening her. She’s saying dumb shit with more confidence. She’s going to be extremely hard to reign in. She generates enthusiasm for the most part in places already deeply blue.

[MrTickle]

It’s great how many people she scares the fuck out of.

[lol wow]

scares the fuck out of shes a fucking moron are you too stupid to get that
