This is why Bernie or bust tards need to wake up to reality. If he had won the primary he would have been the bogeyman the way AOC is.
Listen, dank, it takes time and money to bury people and Hillary had a decades head start. That was a Sanders advantage. Maybe your rage is really just guilt. You backed a horse that lost and were warned it was coming. Suck it up.

You have been told before that this claim is bullshit so you are deliberately spreading disinformation with this post.

Of course he is. He's an alt-right troll. I mean, never mind that Trump was the birther in chief for years. Never mind that it's the usual diversion into Hillary hate, either.

Of course Fox is obsessed with AOC. It beats having to cover McConnell's bullshit & all the other ways Trump & the GOP undermine our govt & democracy itself.

I’ve heard it expressed that FDR ushered in a golden age for the middle class and the conservatives have been driving that socialist revolution back ever since. I have heard that middle class buying power was at its zenith under Carter and Reagan ended it by attacking unionism.

I guess such seld destruction by a society against itself can happen if people are directed to express their hatred of themselves at themselves. But as poverty and misery spread and become more and more widely shared, more and more people will awaken to what is happening and socialism will grow in popularity. It’s not wise for the few to teach the many what it feels like to be plundered.

I voted for Bernie, sunshine. Hasn't taken any time to bury AOC in case you have not noticed. The rich have plenty of money and as I already mentioned, the people are already primed and ready to be told how to think.

Even when they do end up losing it all they will still blame those ebul Demonrats for making the Republicans take away all the benefits.

Pretty much this in a very loud and repetitive way. Well it works on their base so well so who can blame their leadership for going there.

Incredible.

Fox news should be boycotted.

All they do is lie and tell us to support politicians who want to destroy America in any way possible while preserving lifestyles of the rich and famous.

Just look at Reagan.. would we have AIDS crisis today if we had tackled the AIDS thing in the 80s?

Fail

I think you'll find it's AOCs own party that quashes her campaign. Just a guess.

Hope it goes that way, but does not seem to affect the Repub base at all. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil as far as their side of things go no matter how egregious things get with them, yet will listen to and act on anything, absolutely any blatantly fictitious wholly unsupported rumor mongering that comes out of the propaganda arm of their party. The light of day is shunned in preference to the comfort that darkness brings to the way they have been conditioned to think, politically speaking.

The party has all the makings of a blossoming dictatorship in their desperate attempt to hold on to power. They would do this if they could get sway with it. Such is the powerful grip that the aristocrat class have over the party faithful.

It seems that the rarely mentioned yet blatantly obvious class warfare that the wealthy have been waging against the commoners is getting much nearer to a breakout what with the newest crop of young Dems seemingly ready to do battle in the chambers over this issue.

I think a big part of the problem is that we have gotten to where we are by the skillful manipulation of our hatural human condition of vulnerability. By the stead implication that socialism leads to disaster people can be trained to fear it. In order then, to move back to the left, all of that terror will be physically expressed and all the hate that insecurity generates will also manifest. This, in my opinion, is why Democrats must take care with their message. The best way to do that in my opinion, is to educate. Democrats need to tell the public how they have been tricked. It will also require that liberals do not become what they fear about authoritarianism.

No, I said Hillary started it in the past, too loose with my words. She did not. But, some of her staffers did.

They did not start it. One or two people who happened to work for her campaign forwarded existing memes. Get your story straight dickhead.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/company-founded-by-ocasio-cortez-in-2012-still-owes-1870-in-taxes

Brook Avenue Press, a company she founded in 2012 to publish children’s books in The Bronx, owes the state $1,870.36 in corporate taxes, public records show.

The state slapped the company with a warrant on July 6, 2017, two months after Ocasio-Cortez announced her candidacy to run against Democratic incumbent Joe Crowley for the district that encompasses parts of Queens and The Bronx.


I know a Fox is fake news but what do y’all think. A proponent of wanting to tax everyone for everything but it’s kind of odd she won’t even pay her own?

To add my voice to the pile of people sending a message to the DNC that his policies are the way they should be moving.
But we are told over and over that Hillary was as left as Sanders and it was her turn, and their policies weren't really different? Why did you disagree?

AOC is to Fox was Trump is to CNN. Both exploit fear in their base and the boogeyman they help create for profit and to push their narrative further. It used to be only the Republicans were good at creating an enemy and then using that fear for votes, today the left has become quite adept in this as well.

Alex, I believe the answer is "What is dumbfuckery"

During the primaries it seemed like she was being a bit shy about openly supporting many of his policies. When Americans made it clear that his policies were wildly popular the DNC essentially adopted his entire platform. By the way, the shit about it being "her turn" is ridiculous. Pretty much equivalent to the tards who think Hillary started the birther movement.

Well at least is a more legitimate story then banning girl scouts and taking pictures of her ass as headlines.

She founded BAP in 2012 but went to work for Bernie in 2016. It isn't clear if she was in charge at the time. Her bio doesn't say and nether does the story. SO based on what we know now Fox is attempting to smear by implication.

Color me shocked.

I think what you are saying is what I have always said, that Sanders had the message that the County needs to hear, that in order to restore our democracy we have to undo the fact that we had a class war nobody saw and it was won by the 1%. The Democratic party since Bill Clinton, played to the rich more and more politically in order to win elections which, for the 1% meant permanent victory since they owned both parties.

And 'her turn' is not like the 'birther thingi'. The birther thingi is a delusion, a lie, a fraud, and a smear campaign. Her turn was a feeling many many Democrats had and struggled with emotionally. I was personally affected by it and it made me very uncomfortable. I felt a great affection for her as a political leader and I suffered from her lack of message that I wanted to hear. I felt the same way when I emailed Senator Obama and told him to run and he announced a few days later. I know many who could not make that switch and stayed with her for loyalty's sake.
