Ocasio-Cortez outdraws presidential candidates, decries moderates as 'meh'

I couldn't agree with her more:

"“Moderate is not a stance. It's just an attitude towards life of, like, ‘meh,’” she said, shrugging her shoulders for emphasis.

“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."

I wish she would run. At least on the ticket with Sanders.

She is going to have every conservative on the planet against her. Get ready for false information about her, they are nasty and will lie every time. The conservatives have total control over what is said on the tv, most will not be paying attention to fact just opinion believing it is fact. I have seen the start of this.

LOL that started long ago. Don't you know about what they were saying about her clothes, about the economic circumstances that she grew up under and that they already interviewed her mother with out her knowledge to see if they could get some dirt on her? And of course they decry socialism every time she opens her mouth, instead of democratic socialism in a capitalistic society which is what she clearly states every time she speaks.

Thanks for posting. I missed this. Old liberals like me can only hope AOC’s messages on the status quo vs. what’s possible and necessary are heard far and wide.

That was well said

Not only are "mature" politicians getting it wrong, the entire conservative group is getting it wrong. Some of this carries over into our confused DNC. We need people like Ocasio-Cortez to stir things up. How can you take a person as being logical when he is against AOC because we "cannot live in a world without cows or airplanes." She did not say that we should. It was someone else's ideas of what she said. Chances are it came from the conservative right.

Of course it came from the right, they are going to do everything they can to discredit her. She is smart, good at what she is doing and I hope her skin is thicker than usual for being a politician.

We need youth in politics... The "mature" politicians keep on getting it wrong! Go AOC...

I don't think that the are getting it wrong, they know perfectly well what they are doing. Nothing of what they are doing is for the greater good of humanity but only for themselves.

@Jolanta yes exactly... That's getting it wrong...
