    Ocasio-Cortez: State Of America Is 'Garbage,'

    Ocasio-Cortez: State Of America Is 'Garbage,' Reagan Pitted Whites Against Minorities

    Please keep talking Alexandria, we on the right LOVE YOU



    Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested during a talk on Saturday that America is "garbage" and that former President Ronald Reagan presented a "racist" vision of the country that "pitted" white working class people against minorities in order "to screw over all working-class Americans."


    Ocasio-Cortez made the remarks while speaking at the left-leaning South by Southwest Conference & Festivals in Austin, Texas.


    "One perfect example, I think a perfect example of how special interests and the powerful have pitted white working-class Americans against brown and black working-class Americans in order to just screw over all working-class Americans, is Reaganism in the '80s when he started talking about welfare queens," Ocaiso-Cortez said. "So you think about this image of welfare queens and what he was really trying to talk about was ... this like really resentful vision of essentially black women who were doing nothing that were 'sucks' on our country."


    "And it's this whole tragedy of the commons type of thinking where it's like because these one, this one specific group of people, that you are already kind of subconsciously primed to resent, you give them a different reason that's not explicit racism but still rooted in a racist caricature," Ocasio-Cortez continued. "It gives people a logical reason, a 'logical' reason to say, 'oh yeah, no, toss out the whole social safety net.'"



    Asked moments later about the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and the $15 minimum wage, Ocasio-Cortez suggested that America is in decline and that the current state of America is "garbage."

    Keep her talking. Keep her on the front page.

    She's doing more damage than I ever could to the Democrat party.

    Wow - what a God fearing thing to say. What exactly do they teach you in the church of Christ Latter Day Saints.

    I like her! She's not afraid to speak out. She is the perfect posterchild for the millennial generation. Clue f'n less. Look to her Chief of Staff....that is where these 'visions' generate from, AOC isn't smart enough to come up with this on her own. She's being puppet mastered by a fascist.

    She also said this:

    “Moderate is not a stance. It's just an attitude towards life of, like, ‘meh,’” the New York Democrat said Saturday during an interview with Briahna Gray, senior politics editor for the Intercept. “We’ve become so cynical, that we view ‘meh,’ or ‘eh’ — we view cynicism as an intellectually superior attitude, and we view ambition as youthful naivete when ... the greatest things we have ever accomplished as a society have been ambitious acts of visions, and the ‘meh’ is just worshipped now, for what?”

    I cannot figure out what it means.

    shrug.....I'm always fascinated by those who claim they are religious but when you examine their words and actions it typically shows something quite different. It just really intrigues me. Makes me wonder what really is going on with that person.

    Oh! I saw that Utah passed a law recently that allows it's citizens to have premarital sex. Huge step in bringing this out into the light since it's been going on anyhow. Another quirky do as I say but not as I do thingy with these religious cults.

    next...

    Make no mistake, I want the Republicans to go extinct as well.

    But calling the faith a cult is kinda silly on your part.

    But hey let's have it out, what has the church done to you too justify such a concerning point of view of it? You call it a cult, a derogatory statement. Surely you have just cause for this accusation.
