Ocasio-Cortez supports providing alternate facts.

Take this statement by AOC: "Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs."

That is not precise, factual or semantically correct.

It is also not moral.

That was a humorous comment. More humorous when you consider that she was serious and supposedly has a degree in economics.

It's an interesting remark in so far as it captures a very common approach to politics in the West. I admire her candor.

It wasn't her candor. It was they daily caller being candid on her behalf. They like to make stuff up out of context because they know it appeals to your kind. It gets you all riled up and keeps you clicking. Then, before you know it, you're in an insulated news bubble and have no idea what reality is anymore, it's painted in for you by the alt-right media. Granted, the same can be said about msnbc, cnn, and fox. She was being questioned about budget numbers. She quoted some she had read. Other people claimed her numbers were off. Then the washington post drops an article saying since her numbers were not 100% accurate, she's a liar. Just like in this forum when a discrediting campaign is in full swing.

Sorry. Her quote wasn’t taken out of context. Would you have preferred that I posted her interview from another web site? I actually used that site to see if someone would attack the messenger vs the message. You did it.

I'm not surprised there is a concerted effort to slow her down. That's expected from an entrenched corrupt establishment. They will fail, and more like her will run for office and win. Our country will be returned to us through political engagement by regular people.

There’s no concerted effort to slow her down. If anything there’s an effort to just get out of the way and let everyone hear what she has to say. She’s as goofy as they come. It’s fiscally impossible to impose her wild ideas.

How can you say she represents returning the country to us, whoever that is? She wants “us” to be dependent upon the benevolence of government. She wants to take the country from us and give it to a handful of self appointed elites in Washington DC. She might even call for changing the name of the congress to the politburo.

It certainly shows that the leadership in both parties exert a lot of informal control over its members.

[Hoosier8]

She didn’t say you shouldn’t be factually correct, she just prioritized being morally correct over being factually correct. And she’s right. Morality should be the foundation of every decision we make.

Which is funny because the left has done everything it could to eliminate the idea of morality.

A degree in economics? Surely you jest. Affirmative action? Oy vey

Slow her down? Like a whirling dervish, she isn't going anywhere. When the novelty wears off, she will probably become an establishment Democrat operative. She already expresses an inclination to steal like one. She would be a pain in the neck for another 40 years that will never amount to much. Good luck to those who will have to suffer her, as she no doubt finds delight in such disparaging remarks.

Undergrad degree, she majored in economics....and, apparently, dance.

She has no sense whatsoever of propriety, almost like a Tourette Syndrome case of mental illness. What's admirable about that?

I think she deserves our pity and to be put away somewhere safe for good.
