What is Behind The Right’s Obsession with Ocasio-Cortez?

Probably the same thing that was behind the lefts obsession with Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin was just stupid and said stupid Tea Party things.

Can we expect anything more from the parties whose members think memes make adequate arguments?

she is obviously young and dumb as all youth is

add to that, she is a she which the right believes should be grabby the ***** and keep quit about it

so, seeing her success and being a minority kind a throws their own failed life in their face.

This causes anger and self loathing that is expressed in the form of angry aggression at the successful.

It truly is an appropriate example of your inability to make a decent argument.

Since your refusing to actually talk issues, let me start. Why it that just about every other first world nation managed to provide healthcare for their citizens, but the richest country cant?

Not the first time I've asked this question here, and this wont be the first time it will get ignored. Probably with another meme. And that's what is both hilarious and pathetic.

What has the richest nation earth that other civilized nations don't have?

1. 46 million blacks
2. The world's only ready army for fighting threats from rogue nations worldwide
3. $21 trillion reported national debt, with ten times more unfunded liabilities
4. Home to the world's largest influx of impoverished refugees and immigrants.
5. World dominance in wasteful spending on weather change, evolution research , and other funded projects which do not benefit mankind as a whole.

Democrats in America don't care what it costs, they favor increasing government spending to meet all the obligations they promised to voters in exchange for votes. That, of course, requires larger taxation for everybody.

Lol. I dont know where to start. All of Europe just had a massive refugee influx and has always had migration from Africa and the mid east.

And your #1 is hilariously racist... maybe if poor neighborhood schools had fair funding to other *public* schools the situation would be vastly different. But of course its their fault for the bad policies they had no say in for decades...

And i would love to school you on climate change and evolution. Would you like me to explain to you why the earth isn't flat too? Lmao. Seriously... SAD!!!!

The military point is one of your few valid points. It's a shame your potus is trying to only increase spending on it.
 
Fletch said:
Lol no, thats ridiculous. At the moment, she is a greater threat to liberals than conservatives.

I think Cortez is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR. She's not a multi-millionaire like so many politicians and understand what it is like to struggle. And best of all she is female and hispanic - two things the republicans HATE.

Don't forget her brilliant ' Africa is a country'. They dragged Henry Kissinger to give her a one hour crash course on geography. The republicans thought disgruntled female Hillary supporters would vote for Palin simply because she was a woman.

But the women who supported Hillary admired her for her INTELLIGENCE. Something the brainless Palin does not have.

One of McCain's biggest regrets is defending Palin . No wonder he requested the moron and her deplorable family NOT attend his funeral.

Cadet Bone Spurs is increasing military spending only because he is in a penis contest with Kim Jong Un. Not one cent of this spending will go to helping war veterans who are suffering PTSD, poor, homeless etc

Thumbs up for being a regular person. Not so much for her demographics. She had a good message. What she is is irrelevant. Or at least should be.

And WHAT IS her message? All I've heard from her so far is gobbledygook that would get a "F" on a seventh grade civics essay.

:lamo Oh for the love of all that is good this women just recently figured out we have three equal branches of government and that Congress is made up of to parts. She is ignorant as the day is long. Sunny and upbeat don't get it when you haven't a clue how our government is set up and yet want to change it far from what it was ever meant to be. Everytime she opens her mouth she makes a fool of herself over her ignorance but the sad part about it is there are a number of people in our society that are just as ignorant!

My guess is this “ignorant” woman, as you demean her, could explain to you the difference between “to” and “ two”.

She isnt a seasoned politician. Shes not trained or practiced at live interviews. She is now thrust into the spotlight while also preparing to enter a completely new career and moving to a new city. And unlike your own gobbledygooker, she isnt constantly bragging about herself, her "best words", or putting down everyone who trash talks her.

Her policies involve protecting the everyman that the right has abandoned. Whether its providing decent healthcare to worker protections.

Her message, btw, is quite clear and consistent. You may not agree with it, but she mostly talks about policy when she speaks and not trash talking anyone who criticizes her like our embarrassment in chief.

LOL, right. Clearly delusional and consistently ill-informed. The one thing that IS clear is that she sees herself as the standard bearer for a strong veer to the hard left. Her plan so far is to attack more mainline Dems during primary elections to build a strong socialist democratic caucus.

By some research the US has the second highest poverty rate in the world. It is no wonder we cannot afford to do more as a nation when so much of our national income is spent on the poor. If people want to highlight the wealth inequality of blacks then they should not ignore that the higher percentage of blacks in the US compared to other developed nations must be a factor affecting national spending on poverty.
