What do you REALLY know about AOC?

Stop listening to Alex Jones.

The red text totally convinced me that what you have posted is the truth. Thanks!

What's concerning is people believe stuff like this is true.

Has anyone actually taken the time to visit the Justice Democrat site?

From the site.


“We are recruiting diverse working class leaders to run as Justice Democrats for Congress for 2020.

Is the next Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the next Rashida Tlaib, the next Ilhan Omar, or the next Ayanna Pressley in your district?

Help us find them by nominating a candidate, or by nominating a district where you want to help find a great candidate.

We're focused on recruiting candidates to run in districts where the incumbent Democrat is demographically and ideologically out-of-touch with the voters of the district.

START NOMINATING NOW”

Maybe I’m old fashion, but traditionally Democrats in Congress outside a district don’t actively advocate primarying other Democrats in Congress and an outside third party does not run a nominating process for candidates in specific districts that they don’t live in.

What this amounts to is outsiders meddling in local elections to push their agenda.  Sound familiar.

I LOVE that AOC scares the ever loving shit out of Republicans. That's all.

Am I the only one irked by the need people have to refer to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as AOC? Like she's not worth them taking the time to spell out her name or something? Its really not that hard.

It’s not the job of the Democrats or liberals to educate you.

Try stepping outside of the Fox box, find factual writings about her.

She’s always working to help the little guys.

She has been brilliant when questioning people in committee meetings/hearings.

I suggest you go to their site to get answer to your questions.  It’s interesting. 

AOC is actively working with this group and another one called the Sunrise Movement.  She is also, her words, making a list of  other Democrats in the House to primary if they don’t vote the way she and these two groups think they should. 

Instead of picking off other other Democrats in Congress their main goal should be to keep and expand the majority in the House,  take back the majority in the Senate, and take back the White House .  If that doesn’t happen, then the “goals” listed on Justice Democrats’ site will be nothing but empty words. 

I’m confused, but let me see if I get your gist: Hispanic lady wants to loudly and aggressively change the very foundation of the way our government works?

I’m cool with that.

The absolute horror and "outrage" of the right is making AOC the darling of the Democratic Party. As you reach for things to be "concerned" about, don't forget, YOU are the one putting her name out there, YOU are instigating those on her side to come to her defense. If it weren't for YOU, she'd be just another congress person...

In 2007, Ocasio-Cortez won a prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in microbiology at 18.
She served on Youth legislative sessions in High School.
She interned at an immigration office in college.
She has a cum laude degree in economics and international relations.
She was an educational director and took a job bartending to help her mother keep the house after the death of her father.

I'm venturing a bet that she's accomplished more than most of us have/had at her age.

That tax bill y'all are so concerned about? A whopping $1,870. Do we really want to discuss legislators outstanding tax bills? A report by the IRS on tax compliance by government employees shows that collectively government employees owe 2.53 billion dollars in unpaid taxes- Ocasio-Cortez's bill is .000073% of that.

As for what she's done for her constituents? She motivated them, gave them something to believe in, and inspired them to get out and vote. Which is pretty much all that any young first time congress person CAN do until they've had some time on the job. Oh and regardless of whether you think it's a solid plan, she presented that Green New Deal in her first 33 days in office - show me a legislator under the age of 35 who presented an infrastructure plan within their first 2 months as a first time legislator - don't worry, I'll wait...

Posts like this actually make me feel more pity for people like the OP than any out of the outrage I guess I'm supposed to feel.

I know the left's nonstop talking point is that the right is "afraid" of AOC, they're horrified and outraged by her, and sprinkle that with the same racism bull.

WHY would the right be "afraid" of her? Because she gets media attention?

The republicans bash democrats. Standard.
The democrats bash republicans. Standard.
The republicans and democrats bash Bernie. Standard.

What's not standard?

Tossing out a GND that makes no sense to either democrats or republicans, with absolutely no explanations, leaving both parties scratching their heads.

Several presidential candidates quickly signed on to this GND without even reading or thinking it thru and will now have to explain how they'd work this deal. Some might think they were afraid not to sign on.

Threatening members of your own party to add them to a list to be primaried if they vote with republicans.

Those two things alone have absolutely nothing to do with republicans. She put that on the democrats.

Finish all of this off with Tom Perez' decision to not allow FOX to host any presidential debates. Really? Even some democrats disagree with the DNC's decision for this.

I don't see any republicans shaking in their boots.

I didn’t get past the part about all of Yorktown heights being this upper class place when AOC was growing up. York town heights WAS far from an entirely wealthy neighborhood. Just like any other town they had thier nicer parts & the less nice parts. There is not enough information given in that article to know if she grew up wealthy or not. The per capita income was Lower than $33,000 in 2000 according to city-data.com It might be an expensive hip neighborhood now but it wasn’t/hadn’t always been. And $33,000 isn’t that much and it’s even less by Westchester County standards. You’d need to know did she live with her father, all the time?, where was the house in Yorktown heights. And everyone likes to use the word Architect as if they all make bank but that also not the case. That article left out too much info and got enough info wrong that I can’t even read the rest as if it’s ‘news’

I’m not a fan girl for AOC but that article about her growing up has conflated enough facts to make it not believable.

If you want to be upset about someone lying or embellishing thier resume then don’t lie, omit or embellish to try to prove your point.
