    The piece is four weeks old, but nevertheless worth reading - as warning to the moderate Democrats.

    Apparently the right wing thinks so because they are completely mesmerized by her, constantly quoting and following her ??

    Nonsense. She has one vote in the house like every other representative.

    AOC is a reincarnated Castro. She has a big mouth, is stupid, gigantic ego, ambitious, and has bullied her way to the top of the democratic party. She has a following of loosers who want everything for free.

    That's just not true, but it is absolutely true about Trump.

    Your cartoon logic isn't worth spit.

    Here is a man whose income is one thousand times the median average,
    who supports one of Sander's proposals of a $15 an hour minimum wage.

    Well here's AOC's own words . . . spit on them . . .
    "The world will end in 12 years"
    "Owning guns is not a right, if it was a right it would be in the constitution"
    "I served like 93 trillion drinks when I was a bartender"
    "Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs"
    "Is it OK to still have children"
    "Not all democrats are the same"

    If you look into her eyes and don't see crazy, you might be crazy as well.

    The problem with your logic is as follows.

    She's young, idealistic, and when she first became a congresswoman, she reminded me of a leggy newborn fawn struggling to gain it's footing.

    After time, it will, and will blossom into a beautiful creature.

    AOC is very much like that and if you watch her videos of grilling people in high places as is her job in congress, it will become very clear she has razor sharp wit, she is articulate, and highly intelligent.

    In the annals of human history, a few gaffes do not define a person, especially when they are inexperienced, but there you sit, behind your computer, writing off a human being on such scant evidence, when you have ton of evidence on Trump that proves, incontrovertibly, his gaffes are epic, noting he is the president, and he is a despicable human being, of which, you apparently do not give a damn.

    When she takes up air-accordion, I'll take this seriously.

    Yeah, there are a few crazy-eyed shots, and others which are fairly attractive, out there on the WWW. So...if you look into her eyes and don't see crazy, you're looking at one the attractive pictures. You're not crazy.

    Attractive in what sense? Is vacuous attractive? I can't look at this woman without seeing stupid and then she opens her mouth to verify it. If you said bartender, waitress, porn star, door stop then I'd believe it but a member of congress??? But then the Democrats in the house aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer, are they?

    They're pictures. Still pictures. What sense do you think I'm talking about?

    Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is no Socialist at all, she is Fascist.
    American Fascist.
    Her ideology is an amalgam of genocidal Antisemitism (the very core of Fascist ideology) and murderous hatred against her own country.
    She accused Israel of "massacre in Gaza", called the US border facilities “concentration camps”, cried “far-right plot” over the Auschwitz survivor’s call to visit the real ones and quoted a Holocaust poem to defend her top aides Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar (later enlisted by the Simon Wiesenthal Center among 10 most dangerous Judeophobes of the world).
    And Joe Biden has already praised AOC as “bright and wonderful lady”, named her co-chair of the “unity task force on climate change” and gave her a speaking slot at the 2020 Democratic National Convention.

    But if Biden is doing all this already now, as he still needs the votes of patriotic Americans detesting Anti-Semitism / Fascism, what will he do if he wins the election ?

    Well, remember Hindenburg and Hitler.
    History repeats itself.

    However, American Fascism is different from Fascism in most European states; it is not about imperialism, but about self-hatred, not about “seizing the world or at least much of it”, but about “Death to Great Satan ! Death to Zionist regime !” as Rev. Farrakhan yelled in Tehran two years ago, despite having claimed as well (a bit earlier): “I am black Hitler… Hitler was a very great man”.
    Thus the Fascist-ruled USA will end not as “genocidal State” (Lucy Davidovich about Nazi Germany), but as a failed or rather an intentionally destroyed one, torn into pieces by the racist gangs, that will be butchering in cold blood innocent people just for the “crime” of being white or black or Asian or Latino or Catholic or Protestant or Orthodox or Mormon or non-Christian.

    Most States, but not all.
    The Belgian (i.e. Flemish and Wallonian) Fascists have never wanted a strong, stable, unified State of Belgium.

    I know this is getting off-topic but is that because of two separate languages?

    My understanding is that there is something of a socioeconomic and cultural issue as well.

    As someone on the right, I think the left undersells itself when they hold up people like AOC, you've got plenty of actually highly articulate people.

    I still disagree with them, but game recognise game. People like Chomsky and Orwell. Even in government currently you've got Warren. I disagree with these people fundamentally on a lot of stuff, but they're clearly extremely intelligent and I'd rather like it if they came over from the "dark side".

    AOC represents a warning to the Dems. Right across the globe, those pretending to be centrists are being found out. "We are slightly less toxic than the right wing, but don't really give a toss otherwise" isn't a workable selling point...
