Baby Girl AOC does not understand the definition of optics. A picture says a thousand words. She flounced around in a Tax The Rich gown at a Met Gala. Now, she’s a busy Congresswoman, hoofing it from rally to rally in her Manolo Blahniks, working with old Bernie Sanders to “Fight the Oligarchy”.
Does she even know what oligarchy means? It’s doubtful. Anyhow, AOC, good Socialist that she is, grabbed her $10-dollar Starbucks and her $7.00 croissant at JFK, and hopped on-board a Jet Blue flight last week, where she tweeted in the comfort of First Class about all of “the injustices of income inequality”.
AOC was en route to North Las Vegas for a Bernie Rally. The dynamic duo also went to Tempe, Arizona. Luckily, a passenger took a photo to immortalize the event:

Fighting Climate Change at 36,000 feet and drinking complimentary cocktails she didn’t have to sling. Sure sounds like an elitist to me. I know, frequent flyer miles and upgrades. However, AOC, a “woman of the people” would still rather fly in the comfy leather chair in First Class and not in some guy’s lap in coach. After all, they all want to sleep with her-best to keep the perverted (Republican, of course, because there are no creepers in Lib Land) peasants at a distance. This has not been the first time Sandy opted for First Class-be it an upgrade or something we paid for. Scratch that. We pay for it all.
Let’s talk about the heroin addicts on our city streets, Bernie. While you hunker down in one of your mansions in quaint, picturesque Vermont, the very progressive policies you and AOC support are playing out in our cities-pick a metropolis-any one of ’em.
Politician flies first class to meet a "socialist" millionaire politician with 3 mansions while they pretend to fight oligarchs as they use money from Dem billionaires.

And how, pray tell, are AOC and Bernie Sanders “fighting” the oligarchy? Glad you’ve asked. By vibes, by love, by music, everybody!
AOC and Sanders have enlisted the “help” of Neil Young, a 79 year-old music artist with dual citizenship, who was born in Canada. Joan Baez also showed up to “fight the oligarchy”. She is 84 years-old. Who are attending these rallies and the Tesla protests and “Hands Off” demonstrations and dancing around with their swastika signs? This demographic. Teri Cristoph of Red State sums this up nicely:
What struck me, though, was how very Boomer the crowds looked. It’s as if every retired librarian who identifies as a coastal elite, which seems to be most of them, had dragged their Birkenstock-clad spouses out to the spectacle and shoved a silly sign in their hands. In short, the protestors were very old and very white.”-Teri Christoph
Yep. And very retired and very removed from reality. Christoph rolls on:
Like many Gen-Xers, and especially those of us who were born right on the heels of the Boomers, I’ve always held a healthy amount of disdain for the group that came before us. As a group, they come off as incredibly self-righteous, smug, and completely un-self-aware, and despite having enjoyed the best years of America, they’re still mad and are now complaining about those of us who have to clean up their messes.”-Teri Christoph
The millennials, sadly, like AOC, are not much better. They are entitled. They are self-righteous. They think the world revolves around them. They are un-self-aware (see taking jets and flying in First Class to Climate Change and Economic summits). Some of them are the very fault of us Gen X parents who gave them a damn trophy (or a seat in Congress) for sucking. And while the Congresswoman who straight up sucks flies First Class, this is still happening in her district:
Bernie Sanders' net worth is between 3.5 and 5 MILLION.

She. Sucks. So much for fighting women’s oppression here on terra firma in Queens. AOC’s jetting off to fight the oligarchy with a couple of old geezers who are stuck in the damn 60s and having Woodstock acid-trip flashbacks. Groovy, baby. But here is what we know as Gen X:
Generation X has always known there’d be a day of reckoning for the United States. We’ve been told for decades we’d best save our pennies because there sure as heck wasn’t going to be any Social Security left for us when we hit retirement age. When I was handed my college diploma in the early 90s, it came with a message of: ‘Congratulations, sure hope you can find a job in this economy. Oh, and you’ll never have it as good as your parents.’
Not a great note on which to start adulthood, but it’s okay to live in reality and not on tired slogans and scaredy-cat doomsday scenarios. My generation has learned some hard lessons along the way, having experienced the Cold War, stagflation, Black Monday 1987, high mortgage rates in the 90s, the tech stock bubble burst of the early 2000s, two terror attacks on the World Trade Center, the war on terrorism, the financial crisis of 2008 and, of course, COVID. We’ve weathered these things, having grown up in an America that valued freedom, was proud of the ‘Made in America’ label, and celebrated patriotism.”-Teri Christoph, Red State
I echo Teri’s sentiments. We’ve seen and have told some crazy things. We were the ones who worked 80 hours a week with two, sometimes three, jobs to pay our bills. We watched other countries take advantage of our nation because of sheer, palpable hate for everything we stand for as America. We sucked it up and did the best we could with the mess we had. We did not have a cushy pension to fall back on. Nor did we have the luxury of a cry room in college (gag me with a spoon). AOC and Bernie can attempt their out-of-touch political virtue-signaling at “fighting the oligarchy” all they want. And they’ll try-one acoustic sesh of Vietnam War protest songs and First Class ticket at a time.
Keep on rocking in the free world. Wheels up. V1. Rotate.

Boomer Charlie says: Nice attempt at an aircraft takeoff analogy at the end but, you might want to hold “Wheels up” until after V1 and Rotate. Otherwise you will probably never make “V1” or “Rotate” or anything thereafter. Nice article even though I am one of those parasitic ‘time of your life” Boomers! ;>}
GWB says: Lisa, that first tweet you link doesn’t have a picture of her. There’s one in the Post story, but not in the tweet.
Neil Young, a 79 year-old music artist multi-millionaire communist with dual citizenship
FIFY. But, who needs him around anyhow.
Like many Gen-Xers
You’re a generational bigot, instead of a racial one.
Sorry, but generational complaints are some of the most classist tar-jobs ever. And it was started by the communists. (OK, the Progressives – which are just Communist-lite. None of the taste and half the calories.)
They are entitled. They are self-righteous. They think the world revolves around them.
You just described every “generation” from Boomers onward.

I didn’t realize “red light” now included people selling stuff other than themselves.
having grown up in an America that valued freedom, was proud of the ‘Made in America’ label, and celebrated patriotism.
Don’t get too high on that horse, or you’ll get knocked out of your saddle. I would argue that Gen-X continued a degradation of America by cheapening patriotism to the level of “merch” and complaining constantly about the social restrictions on their behavior – from simple manners to full-on Progressivism.
While AOC is stupid, and the “fighting the oligarchy” is dishonest, don’t go slathering on the generational labels. Especially claiming superiority over others. It isn’t any better to claim superiority over your elders or your descendants, though, at least you can accept some responsibility for the descendants.
But, yes, AOC is a typical mindless follower of leftism. It has little to do with her generation and everything to do with those who taught and raised her.
Tim says: It’s always easier to blame someone else for your problems, whether you can define them or not, or explain why they are the cause—“oligarchs” fascists, jews, white supremacists or whatever, than to take the time and effort to identify and understand the real problems. That would take brains and work, and those are in short supply with the majority of those who would claim to know the way to improve our world. The most notorious mass murderers of the past century have taken that road.
GWB says: “Received wisdom” is much easier, and Progressive dogma has that in spades.
(Too many on the right “think” that way, too, IMO.)
