Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Danger to Capitalism?

[Bucky]

Miss Ocasio-Cortez may seem very innocent but IMO her policies are a manifestation of the liberals hatred towards America, capitalism, and democracy. She is a monster and Americans need to do everything in their power to stop people like her.

I listen and read what Miss Ocasio-Cortez has been saying, and quite frankly, I am shocked at her dangerous statements.

I believe that in a modern, moral and wealthy society, no person in America should be too poor to live. That’s what I feel,” Ocasio-Cortez says.

This comment is not in-step with our society. Many people in America choose to be poor. Many people in America choose to be homeless. Many do not have the worth ethic or commitment to lift themselves out of poverty. Our government in no way should lift people out of poverty that do not want to be lifted.

“Alex believes that if we are to uphold civic justice, we must abolish ICE and see to it that our undocumented neighbors are treated with the dignity and respect owed to all people, regardless of citizenship status.”

This position is radical. Many of these undocumented "neighbors" are criminals and thugs. She makes unproven claims ICE is running black sites. Do socialists support the rule of law and regulating who can come here? Why are socialists catering to criminals? In my city where I live, radical democrats passed a law where it illegal for the property owner to run a criminal background check for someone renting their property. Completely absurd! Basically, if a sexual predator or felon wanted to live in your property, you would have no choice.

I can go on about Miss. Ocasio-Cortez's "green economy" and her hostility towards Isreal, but her positions are extreme. The Democrats are desperate and are trying to lift her up as a party savior. I wouldn't be surprised if she runs for president.

"Alex" IMO represents a danger to our society. The media is trying to normalize her but when you looking deeper into her positions and what she supports, I see a very dangerous ideology.

The accusation that people who you disagree with somehow "hate America" is the biggest threat to America.

Every time someone posts garbage like that, we become a little more divided. Please stop promoting hate.

She won in a very liberal district with less than a 20% turnout. I wouldn't get too worried yet.

She wants to radically change this country and I do not support that:

many of our most pressing issues of justice today - from Puerto Rico, to Standing Rock, to Riker’s Island - are extensions of the dark histories that our nation has never fully remedied: whether that be slavery, Jim Crow, and the War on Drugs; the genocide of native peoples and the plight of modern-day reservations; or the colonization and continued disenfranchisement of Puerto Ricans and people in U.S. territories. To move forward, we must recognize that our present-day issues have deep-past roots. That healing feat is both emotionally and legislatively difficult, but ultimately, it’s the right thing to do.

Waiving the Jones Act? Abolishing ICE? Reinstate postal banking? Radical.

Trump want's to do the same. Do you support him? Does he "hate" America?

Waiving the Jones Act? Abolishing ICE? Reinstate postal banking? Radical.

I don't necessarally agree with those things, but everyone doesn't have to agree with me to "love America". Diversity of opinion is a good thing. It keeps us balanced. That's why we have hundreds of representatives in congress, instead of just one.

wow. This little brown girl got you frightened like no tomorrow huh? Can't debate her on policy so you have to try to prop her up as the left's Trump. These are her most idealistic positions, but once she gets her feet wet, you'll discover that there isn't much to worry about. Especially if you don't live in NYC. She is not as dangerous as Mr. Swampy. Not by a long shot.

I don't think you understand capitalism, socialism or communism. I also don't think you can understand.

I would love to hear you prove me wrong by explaining what the differences are and which countries belong to which categories today.

I hear this stuff from conservatives all the time and I've just given up. I think that most conservatives are just not very bright. You can have a difference of opinion but you have to at least meet the bare minimum standard for being a rational person. Define your terms and categories in an unambiguous way.

You're just rambling incoherent nonsense using vague terms that you can't define.

It's the pattern that includes her, Bernie Sanders, and other avowed Marxists gaining support. It won't likely be the dominant ideology in my lifetime, but it's the canary in the coal mine that tells us that America's days of freedom are numbered.

Sorry I'm more worried about the two-bit dictator in office already, not some potential future one. or some old loser. Let's try to focus on him huh? BTW, what type of Marxism are you talking about, because I don't think you know.

Our system has enough working checks and balances to keep Trump in line. Where Marxism-Leninism (to quote Cuba's constitution) become's the dominant ideology, the checks and balances are subverted by the dictatorial ideology.

Mr. Swampy is doing plenty to subvert the current checks and balances, if you don't know this you aren't paying attention.

I agree, a person who wants to help people who can't afford healthcare is a monster. We need our drug and insurance companies to hike prices so they can save us from this evil woman!...

Many do not have the worth ethic or commitment to lift themselves out of poverty. Our government in no way should lift people out of poverty that do not want to be lifted.

I also agree, the millions of children living in poverty and unstable households in this country have all made the choice to suffer instead of working imaginary jobs to lift themselves out of poverty.

This position is radical. Many of these undocumented "neighbors" are criminals and thugs. She makes unproven claims ICE is running black sites.

Once again, I agree. The fact that legal immigrants are more likely to commit crime than illegal ones is irrelevant, because leaving war-torn countries seeking a better life where a modest amount of people commit crime makes them all THUGS. But our ancestors who blazed trails across the Atlantic and the West to kill people and seize land were pioneers who should have statues erected in their honor.

I also wouldn't be surprised if she destroys Isreal and runs for President even though she is seven years from being eligible, because who cares about facts, am I right? She'll probably subsidize Toyota Prius' for everyone, and we'll all have to pay for it using our generous CEO donation account!

I live in a city that makes it illegal for a owner to deny someone rent if they have a criminal record, bans plastic straws, and charges you for using a paper bag at a grocery store.

My city does have a socialist in office and she is very hostile towards business owners.

 

[MrPeanut]

It's amazing how far right America has turned over the past few decades. A politician that aligns with FDR is a wild communist that wants to destroy America! The rest of the developed world has been patiently waiting for us to catch up on healthcare and education. I thinks it's time we joined them.

But you have grocery stores and can go in and buy things like someone in any other city in the country. It's still capitalism. You're just super mad about a few nuisance regulations. Stop using words you don't understand.

a few nuisance regulations?

If a pedophile wanted to rent from you it would be illegal in my city to run a criminal background check. You would be forced to rent to them.

Not actually correct due to the way sex offender registries work. Hope this helps you out.

Also not remotely relevant to your objection. Laws protecting criminal tenets still require capitalism.

In a scorching article for the Wall Street Journal, Lieberman, who’s now an Independent, criticized Ocasio-Cortez’s agenda as “more Socialist than Democratic” and said her presence in Congress will “make it harder for Congress to stop fighting and start fixing problems.”

Lieberman also took a shot at Ocasio-Cortez views on international politics. “Ms. Ocasio-Cortez didn’t speak much about foreign policy during the primary, but when she did, it was from the DSA policy book—meaning support for socialist governments, even if they are dictatorial and corrupt (Venezuela), opposition to American leadership in the world, even to alleviate humanitarian disasters (Syria), and reflexive criticism of one of America’s great democratic allies (Israel),” he wrote.

It is nice to see Democrats getting wise about Alex. She is a nutbar x 10, maybe an attractive nutbar, but a nutbar.

Ahhhh good ol Joe,,, he is a pretty conservative 'liberal' and heaven forbid you say one wrong word about Israel (that would be her only real offense in his book the rest is just window dressing). This is the grass roots rising up against the establishment 'elites' and was welcomed in the GOP so why not the Democratic Party????

It is California, she did kick a well entrenched incumbent's buttocks and why wouldn't a little revolution be good for the soul???

Seems to me the so-called conservatives wailed when Bernie didn't get a 'fair' shake and many on the rabid right see Sanders as a nutbar... now why the moaning??? She won very fair and very square- I don't think the Russians were involved in this election- so why the worry, one rep isn't going to sell us out nearly as much as one lunatic in the White House...

Unbundle your unders and breathe- it's ok....
