I want Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to win a Congressional seat. I really do want the drooling, fascist-loving, socialist ass monkeys in New York’s 14th district to choose this derpy, ignorant, screeching harpy to represent them in Congress. Yes, you read that correctly. I am THRILLED that she won the Democratic primary in that district!
Why?
Let me explain.
Ocasio-Cortez is a progressive darling. She’s pretty, she’s eloquent, she vomits all the right things good fascist leftists want to hear about how rich people are bad, about how everything should be free at their expense, economic inequality, Palestinian occupation, DERP!
She’s also shown time and time again just how fake, economically illiterate, ignorant about foreign policy, and not ready for prime time she really is.
I wrote a few weeks ago about Cortez’s so-called humble roots, having grown up in a nice suburb of New York, having run her own business, and having attended a pretty prestigious university that costs the average student about $70,000 per year.
She boasted all the “average man” pedigrees that good socialists want to see in their representatives, and it turned out to all be a big exaggeration. Like most socialists, it turns out she had a pretty standard, middle-class upbringing, a pretty privileged college experience, and even ran her own business. In other words, she’s never experienced firsthand just how miserable that “from everyone according to his ability, to everyone according to his need” existence is. Hell, she even got greedy with her fellow workers and tried to hoard tips all to herself instead of sharing them with her coworkers like a good socialist would.
And she has the unmitigated gall to lecture others about sharing their wealth? HAH!
So we know she’s a hypocrite.
But we also know Ocasio-Cortez is a complete dumpster fire when it comes to economic and foreign policy.
Remember when she tried to use the right buzzwords with regard to the Israel-Palestine issue and showed herself to be a big FAIL while opening crazy eyes wide at host Margaret Hoover (maybe hoping that staring at her crazily will somehow make Hoover forget that she asked a question)?
Occupation of Palestine… Geopolitics… settlements are increasing… Crisis of humanitarian condition…
Host: Do you think you can expand on that?
Crazy Eyes: I’m not an expert on geopolitical issues.
Me (screaming at my screen): THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU TRYING TO DISCUSS THEM??? YOU SOUND LIKE A MORON!
And speaking of sounding like an imbecile, this woman who ostensibly has degrees from Boston University in both economics and international studies, also spewed such insane economic garbage during that same interview, that I actually wondered if she’d slept through all her economics classes, waking up only when she heard the words, “gini coefficient” come out of her professor’s mouth, and then putting her head back down on her desk and drooling rum on herself.
Her reply to the question about the economic recovery, about the fact that unemployment is currently at some of the lowest levels we’ve seen in recent years, and about capitalism’s role in our economic success, Ocasio gave an answer so absurd, that even PolitiFact slapped her upside her empty head and sent her to the corner with a dunce cap!
During the interview, Ocasio-Cortez said, “Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs. Unemployment is low because people are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week and can barely feed their family.” (It’s at about 5:45 in this video.)
This comment drew criticism from a number of right-leaning outlets, including the National Review, Hot Air, TownHall.com and Reason.
In our review, we found many reasons why unemployment is low, and not for the overwork that Ocasio-Cortez cited. The biggest factors include strong economic confidence and the long-running economic recovery. (Her campaign did not respond to an inquiry.)
Well, when you’ve lost PolitiFact…
And in the latest bout of batshit derp, Ocasio-Cortez once again displayed a staggering inability to communicate a message, when she appeared alongside her socialist icon Bernie Sanders for Brent Welder, who is running for Congress in Kansas’s third district, and whose lack of understanding about issues like economics and finance and domestic policy equals Ocasio’s own.
“Hello, everybody! So excited to be here on Sen. Sanders’ account and we’re here in Kansas City to rally for Brent Welder,” Cortez said to the camera. “We’re gonna flip this seat red in November.”
Maybe she meant to say “blue” instead of “red” since Republican Kevin Yoder currently holds that seat, or maybe it was an unfortunate Freudian slip, and she really allowed her true intent to ooze out of her facial orifice: COMMUNISM RED!
Oops!
Oh, please let her win!
1) If she loses to a Republican in that district, any Republican that gets elected there will be a left-socialist bunghole with a perfunctory “R” behind his or her name. You can’t win in that district without being at least a borderline proglodyte.
2) If she does win, aside from the truly batshit crazy fucknozzles in Congress (think: Hank “Guam is Capsizing” Johnson and Maxine “Publicly Harass Trump Officials and Supporters” Waters – that kind of crazy), normal Congressional representatives will simply ignore her autistic screeching about the Gini Coefficient and go about their business. She will get nothing accomplished, and will take up space and air, much like her psychotic counterpart in the Senate Bernie Sanders, who managed to pass a whopping one roll call amendment in the past three years.
3) She is so unhinged and clueless, she’s actually the type of person we NEED representing Democrats to make Republicans look even more sane and knowledgeable than they already are.
Run, Alexandria, run! I prefer we have an unhinged, ignorant proglodyte in Congress than a lying “Republican,” who would betray conservative ideals at the drop of a hat.
Better the enemy you know and can ridicule mercilessly than a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Yeah, but if “Crazy Eyes” Cortez wins, we’ll be paying her a Congressional pension to the end of our days even if she flames out after one term.
All of the oldie Olsens know all about communism. Here in this wonderful Red State we read Animal Farm in the sixth grade and 1984 in high school. The young snowflake participation ribbon generation loves the lure of free stuff paid for by the evil kulak deplorable taxpayers.
Look for doom when the millennial rat maggot generation takes over. Can’t happen here? Watch it all come to pass like it was 1917. You see man is not a learning animal.
After reading more than a few of her statements about economics, I’m convinced she wouldn’t know Karl Marx from Skid Marx…
@ Marta,
You are ten times hotter than Cortez and you can bet your bottom dollar on that!
The Republican’s not going to win. Joe Crowley is going to win on the Working Families line. O-C only made the General because turnout was minuscule. This will give the Progs a chance to learn something, which they won’t.
If she does win can we call her seat in Congress the Maxine Waters Total Loon Seat?
Sheesh, Central Casting couldn’t come up with a more cartoonish character than Occasional Cortex (thanks, S.!) if they tried…
“Do not call up that which you cannot put down.”—H. P. Lovecraft
Pretty? Only in a “I just set the bed on fire after feeding you tranquilizers and I boiled your pet rabbit and I sold all your guns and I got you fired from your job, embezzled all the family fortune and cleaned out the bank accounts” way.
Yikes! One would find less crazy in a crack-using working woman. Double-Yikes.
She got the crazy eyes!
Can she be busted by the Federal Elections Commission for providing an in-kind gift worth millions to the Republicans?
capitalism’s role in our economic success
Let’s agree to do away with this marxist word? “Capitalism” is not what we have. We have moderately free markets. “Capitalism” is a construct of Marx, applied to a very thin time-slice of European industrialism, and not representative of Adam Smith market economies.
Insist, when arguing with these economic nitwits, that we do NOT have “capitalism” here, but a free market economy, burdened by marxist regulation and taxing.
“She’s pretty…”
Must be one of those “eye of the beholder” things.
I think the Russians got tired of messing around with Facebook etc, and decided to just run their own candidate. So, they cleaned her up, changed her hairstyle and makeup, gave her some canned campaign speeches an here we go. I am surprised they did such a poor job in training her what to say on the various subjects, but I’ll bet they can get her squared away by November. By the way, I think my conspiracy theory is just as good as the rest, at least as good and fact filled as Trump! Russia! Collusion!
I grew up in the Bronx, not too far from the 14th District as currently constituted. I’ve seen all too many articles like this one, Marta, and while it is refreshing when our side indulges in a little smugness of our own like this, I would remind you, as Glenn Reynolds often does “don’t get cocky.”
The ominous reality is that huge numbers of inhabitants of what we still refer to as the United States of America are completely on board with the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes, and are poised to return them to power in the US House. They already control academia, corporate America, and all the levers of what’s left of “culture”. I would go so far as to say they are already the majority opinion in this country, and intend to be the only opinion permissible. This is not going to end well, and I suggest all your readers be well-armed enough to show them what real resistance means.
I have three degrees: BS and MS in Nuclear Engineering from Oregon State, and a PhD in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Washington. As a NE major during my MS degree, I also took a minor in math & statistics. Since then, I’ve worked up a 30-year resume in my field. In all that, I never even heard of something called a “gini coefficient.” Intrigued, I googled it, and sure enough (to my surprise!) there is such a thing, or at least, there is according to Marxist, redistributionist economics. It is not a real statistical quantity, such as a sample variance, but rather, a “figure of merit” that purports to quantitatively describe the degree of “income inequality” in a population. It would take a Marxist theorist to even think of the need for such a metric. But, as the article suggests, her head probably perked up during that part of the lecture and then promptly went again back to sleep. Let’s see, another brilliant theory of Cortez’s is that the current low unemployment rate is because “everybody is working 2-3 jobs” (REALLY? – no comment on that). When it comes to foreign policy, the Israelis are “occupying” Palestine. Yup – they’ve been there (off and on) for the last 3,000 years, but they’re occupying the land now. You know, there was another time when another wild-eyed fanatic was gaining popularity, and the President decided to give the guy a seat of real power, so he could keep him close and keep an eye on him – and keep him in check. It was President Hindenburg who decided to give Adolf Hitler the position of Chancellor in the old German government. Paul von Hindenburg, who was an old man when he (and Ludendorff) was in charge of the German Army in WW-I, was an even older man by the 1930s, and soon after Hitler was made Chancellor, Hindenburg died of natural causes, and Hitler rushed to fill in the Presidency as well, then consolidated power (combined the offices of President and Chancellor), and he became “The Leader” (der Fuhrer in German). Then, after the burning of the Reichstag (“never a crisis go to waste”), he got the Reichstag to pass the “Enabling Act of 1933” – just a temporary grant of absolute power, to handle the crisis, of course. The rest is history… The lesson is that it is very dangerous to give a lunatic any kind of power, because it may be hard to undo the deed when you realize it was a big mistake.
