In reply to the discussion: Democrats Not Headed Too Far Left, Says Ocasio-Cortez, 'We Are Bringing the Party Home' [View all]Aquaria
(1,076 posts)She scares no one. She says nothing new. Same old tired points weve all heard before. Heck, shes indistinguishable from Dennis Kucinich circa 2000s, and not even as interesting or as classy as 1990s Paul Wellstone.
Besides, Dems were at their strongest under the Great Society, not the New Deal. LBJ did more on the domestic front for ALL Americans, and especially the poor, than any other president before or since. His achievements were the ones that scared the living daylights out of the wealthy, the powerful and the racists, far more than FDR ever did.
And like many of the ignorati on the poseur corners of the left, this shameless self-promoter is too ignorant to know that much reality.
Let me know when she wakes up and becomes as remotely liberal as a 60s non-Southern Democrat. Then I might be impressed with something she says or does. For a change.
Until then, I find her underwhelming and stale. Glad the seat is still D, but I could feel that way about many Ds.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
