I must protest, TD. Burpin' doesn't "think", he erupts.
Good point; and TRUE!
I stand corrected.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Message to the Democratic Party
Of course, all politicians say that they are dedicated to the interests and well-being of their constituents. But Ocasio-Cortez, who had the support of progressive groups such as MoveOn and the Democratic Socialists of America, isn’t your average pol. She delivered an important message to the Democratic Party by running an explicitly populist, anti-establishment campaign. And, as the Party prepares for the midterms and the 2020 Presidential election, it would do well to listen to her.
Ocasio-Cortez’s first point was that being opposed to Donald Trump and his actions, while essential, isn’t a sufficient political strategy. Ocasio-Cortez herself is vehemently anti-Trump. Last week, she visited a detention center on the Mexican border; after her victory, she said that she would vote to impeach the President. But she has also warned against fixating on him and his every offensive statement. “What we need to do is lay out a plan and a vision that people can believe in, and getting into Twitter fights with the President is not exactly, I think, where we’re going to find progress as a nation,” she said, on “Morning Joe.”
With phony demagogues like Trump busy claiming the mantle of populism, progressive parties need to offer voters the real thing. That’s bottom-up, participatory politics—or people power. If sympathetic billionaires wish to align themselves with such a movement, that is all very well (at least until campaign-finance laws are fixed). But if the interests and policy preferences of the wealthy take precedence over those of the average citizen, that is the politics of plutocracy, not populism.
Listen to the speeches of Senator Sherrod Brown, of Ohio; or of Stacey Abrams, who is running for governor in Georgia; or of Beto O’Rourke, who is challenging Ted Cruz in Texas; or of Conor Lamb, who won a special election in western Pennsylvania earlier this year; or of Mikie Sherrill, a former Navy pilot who recently won the Democratic primary in New Jersey’s Republican-held Eleventh Congressional District. To be sure, these Democrats are attacking Trump and talking about immigration and the Supreme Court. But their main focus is on promoting social and economic empowerment for people living in their districts.

I am voting for Beto.
MAGA MAN
Let's go Brandon!
Then I guess VOTING and Supporting a LIAR is a BAD thing ... Correct?
Then why did you vote for Hillbag?
So you say. The truth is that nobody will know if you vote at all, except yourself.
So it isn't sufficient, but it's all she does. Got it.
Please, do whatever you can in your feeble and inept way to make sure she runs as the DEMOCRAT challenger to POTUS in 2020.
I'd even buy you a drink as a reward, whitey.
That should ensure his compliance with my wishes.
MAGA MAN
Let's go Brandon!

Another DEMOCRAT lie exposed
"Blind drunk", to boot? He appears to have thought that Ocasio-Cortez won against Republicans on Tuesday night instead of a top DEMOCRAT in a primary.
Meanwhile back on topic:
DEMOCRAT "star" Ocasio-Cortez's famed '40 minute' commute to school actually takes 6 minutes.
Instant DEMOCRAT celebrity Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has touted her working-class Bronx roots -- and her 40-minute commute to better public schools -- to promote her congressional bid and her progressive brand of politics.
But the Daily Mail revealed Sunday that Ocasio-Cortez and her mother actually moved from an apartment in a Bronx high-rise to a one-story house in wealthy, mostly white Westchester County when she was 5 years old, a detail that is omitted from her campaign biography.
Based on online photos, Pluralist has determined that the house in Yorktown Heights was located less than two miles from Ocasio-Cortez's high school.
According to Google Maps, it is a six-minute drive.

You are blinded by the results.

Don't you recall, he said he had nothing other than the millions dollar loan his father gave him
As I noted, it couldn't be any more comical, they worship Trump who lies at an Olympian pace and then label another individual a "liar," too funny
Little Thingy calls that dodge "whataboutism", I think, anchovies.
If she'll lie about banal trivialities, (like Hillary) how can she be trusted not to lie about consequential matters, anchovies?

That's bad news for Alexandria's political plans. Take note voters, once a politician starts lying, it's practically impossible for them to stop.
