Alexandria Ocasio Cortez: Trump Isn't Ready For A Girl From The Bronx 

Kilum Shameful, isn't it? How will people cope with food, shelter, and medical attention? The end of the world is nigh.

How about people try hard, start businesses, based off the previous work they've put in, re-invest, and profit. Then they cease to be poor. Anyway, you're in la la land if you think she can accomplish shit lol

Wishes are fine, i think everyone agrees that would beca great thing. The reality of achieving it is the sticky part. Government is not the answer.

Yep. Using the same kinds of policies. I don't know, I like the idea of random family members, friends and maybe even me dying because we can't afford insulin without a wepay but we don't have a pumping social media brand to get the message out. That's what Freedom™ means to me. That and getting illegals who tuk er jerbz.

But mega homeless shelters don't make mega money for the mega pastor.

game n chill at least those million dollar making churches have to pay taxes now so we are able to make mega homeless shelters better yet co-op housing. Co-op housing is provided to people activity trying to fix their lives and one of the biggest barriers the homeless face is not having a place to sleep that is safe or a permanent address to list on the application

You have to be kidding ... move to Cuba or Venezuela and let me know how socialist dictators are treating you. Omg

Alison Serrano shut up elitist.

Hahahahhaha democrats are so violent angry hostile and intolerant. Good come.back. hahahahahahaha

Ps. U do know that politicians make their millions off of our taxes right biden Sanders pelosi aoc all have multiple houses with fences walls and body guards who have guns... they are hypocrites

Alison Serrano her policies are good policies. the us is one of the only countries in the world where you have to pay for higher education. student loans are one of the biggest reasons why america is in debt. defund the things that don’t need as much funding,such as the military, and put that money toward education. so many people miss out on college because they can’t afford it.

In the US the traditional choice is between right wing and extreme right wing, and both sides have been disappearing down the rabbithole of selfish shitwankery for decades. TO the extent that fascist conspiratorial stupidity is normalised. So it's up to the fresh forward looking new faces like AOC to get the pathetic old white millionaires out of the way to make a working society for all. Everyone whining about socialism is fine when corporations benefit from handouts whilst not paying taxes ...

Both parties have been moving to the right since Reagan's days. The Democrats now are somewhere near where the Republicans were 4 decades ago.

WE call it freedom, wake up tit

Conservatives don't actually hear the words "democratic socialism" or "human rights". Whenever you bring that up all they seem to say is "but... communism bad!"

Ben Robinson Yes. With other people’s money. Go figure huh? 😂

And socialist systems are steering away from socialist healthcare bc the quality is so awful. I have family in Sweden and fortunately they can afford private health insurance and opt out of the POs socialist healthcare

Cuz obviously socialism (which leads to communism, and that to dictatorship) always works out! 😍 just look at what it has done to Venezuela!

They can already envision Stalin leading them to the bus they’ll ride to the gulag 😂😂

She was born in the Bronx but not raised there. That was in a mostly white affluent neighborhood. She is a fraud.

I actually dont care that she was dancing. She was recreating the scene from the breakfast club and it was awesome! I still dont like her polices. You know, the whole taking hard worker's money and giving it lazy workers to "even the playing field" thing. The dancing isnt why I dislike her though😅

It is not that she is dancing, it is that she is an actress pretending to be a congresswoman. It is because she did not get there on her own merit. But now that you mention it, it is ironic how she dances like she is a puppet on a string...how prophetic that moment was for her.

the saddest thing is that republicans will have the same benefits of her vision,if she becomes a president,as her democratic voters...

And that having clean streets while you are licking the boots of a dictator is not the way we want to live. I think that one of the most important points that American individualists/conservatives/ libertarians etc, miss, is that there are many people in the world who would happily sell there morals, freedoms, and rights, as long as it means they receive some comfort and money.

I mean we have free education, just not college. But it kinda shows that you have to pay for American universities when they are some of the most elite in the world. But yeah healthcare for sure should be a guarantee.

1000% agree with you!!!

Yes big time

I definitely agree with you but the powers that be both democratic and Republican will not allow it to happen. She is just straight up smart/ direct which scares the powerful people in America , She wants equality/ justice for all, wants affordable healthcare, wants more affordable housing, fair taxes, etc. I can see the ads on TV calling her a radical socialist who wants to destroy our way of living.

No it wasn't working. Stop lying. Get a clue!

if health care is working in another country, then go live their.

It is working! Maybe it's because a lot of countries prefer to invest money in healthcare and education rather than army? Anyway, moving to another country if you want basic human rights shouldn't be the option.

We spend more on health care and education than anyone by percent. Rather than an Army? How do you think Europe affords it's welfare state? By having the US provide it's international security.

+Klára what is basic about taking hard working people money to help bums or disease freaks. do own your own home because when the massive population comes, your home will be used for all and anything else you own because we will need for other people because you know its inhumane to let people sleep in the streets or the just might need your car to go see the doctor for their problems .just like your social health care we can also make everything else social if you want. why not?

wahoo strike These idiots see a young, energetic, pretty, non-white female spouting feel-good nonsense and don’t realize that socialism never has and never will work. It ALWAYS leads to tyranny.

Well Cesar, living in America where you have only white, elderly rich men having to insult women to get what they want shows me, that none of this has anything to do with education. Justin Bieber did not go to college, he graduated high school and wrote music and got RICH but he deserves more money than me because he can sing and I work 80 hrs a week and can’t have a fair wage to live. I promise you Cesar, I’m not asking to be rich off my basic job in the world but I will accept and claim that I deserve money too because I am a human taking care of children who have to pay these “white rich people” everyday for the rest of their lives and potentially not even have the choice to go to school.. So to say I should’ve just studied harder when the economy is clearly showing how bad it’s failing supporting its system, I was in high school watching kids drop out WEEKS before graduation because their mom couldn’t afford the bills and needed them to work. It’s definitely happened and no one needs to live in a world like that... Wake up, slavery is not over you’re still living in it. They’re just fooling you to making you think it’s your choice, I choose to believe we are all worthy of money. Not being filthy rich, they can have that. I just want to say that my boyfriend and I can make securely 5-8k a month together TO START so we can take care of our kids, bills and our mental health. Did you know I got denied foodstamps twice during a pandemic and I just had my daughter so I couldn’t go back to work...I mean..so I just don’t deserve to eat? I didn’t get paid maternity leave and I’ve worked for over 6+ years in fact I found out you have to apply for disability to be taken out of your check in order to get paid when an accident happens and I’m 24 years old....with 2 kids. This system out here has not helped anyone. And all we want to do is live, not get rich i don’t understand wtf you rich people got going on in your head but Cesar my dude they getting you too 😂🥴

Well the system has to improve in some ways, but AOC is not the solution, she is an economist but she does not understand anything about economics, im from Venezuela and this kind of words were the same words politicians used here some years ago. yes the system can be corrupt and there are a lot of things to improve, but it takes time, socialism or "democratic" socialism is not the solution, i know it sounds great what she says but in the practice it can not be done. Economic incentives does not work like that. AOC just use demagogy , and people fall for it, celebrities that dont know anything about the real world living in their bubles support her, and naive teenagers that dont like to work.... i also work long hours and i have to work even more since these "social democrats" control my country. Chile may not be the best place in teh world but it is the best plase at least in south america, believe you dont know what is to live in a "social democrat" hell.

@@alejandrovega7403 AOC said she wants working ppl to be able to live.. how can that be taken badly? I don't know what happened in Venezuela.. but how could they have explicitly said they want the working class to be able to live.. and then fuck up..? That's sadd.

Anyone who works as hard as Yasmine deserves all success and support and to not frankly have to work that hard to just survive with kids to look after. That's exactly where a modern decent state with healthcare, childcare and a safety net could help. The only people not deserving a functioning state with a safety net are egotistical misogynistic arseholes like Cesar who choose not to think long term with their pathetic old tiny man attitude.

And maybe get some content on your channel, lest anyone mistakes you for a Russian troll...

She seems pretty wise to me. She got out there and met the voters. She can defend her positions, agree with her or not (and I don't agree with all her positions at ALL). She won because Crowley dismissed her, being so confident he would win he didn't even show for debates. The voters were looking for fresh perspectives and someone who showed up and listened to them.

10% of the electoral voted for her. The other guy was a disaster. She will destroy America economically and is an Antisemite based on her outrageous comments supporting Terrorist organisations.

YES most voters opted out of voting but she won because the voters who showed up voted for HER. Her positions aren't even that far from Crowley's so it's highly unlikely she will "destroy America". No need for your hysteria.

And please stop lying about the anti-semitism. You just come off as an ignorant rightwing blog follower because that's who is making this claim despite the fact that SHE didn't make any such comments and when she found out that the ONE VOLUNTEER did make anti-semitic comments she railed on him. Either you're ignorant or you're one of them already trying to make her out to be a bigot. That's pretty funny given the right's track record when it comes to such things.

Certainly NOT in funding defense contractors-several of whom have stolen billions. What about the 2nd Amendment?

Especially when a policy is based on our supposed values in this country-err on the side of compassion and prosecute the ones who misuse the privilege. 😊-

The fact you're white and 60 is irrelevant to your being aware of her all the way from London. That's my point.

How did change work out for you from 09 -2016 ?? not too well huh?

Voteing age should be brought down even further. I know I was smartest when I was about 16-

Chris Choir, I'd say it worked pretty well, considering the worse recession since the great depression was reversed and we had continued economic growth starting from 2010 and the unemployment went from double digits all the way to 4%. You know, all the things Trump is trying to take credit for that started way before he even took office (funny how during Obama's time all those stats measuring how much the economy was improving were fake, and yet now apparently they're real). Not to mention the major social changes that occurred during that time, from Gay Marriage being allowed to America finally accepting socialized Medicare that went from being the most hated thing in the country to being so popular that even with republicans controlling all three branches of government they can't repeal it for fear of voters turning on them.

Chris Choir Really well actually. I couldn't stand Obama for awhile and then I got my head out of my ass. One of my biggest regrets is not voting for him in 2012. He never threw a tantrum, he EARNED respect, and most of all he cared about people regardless of who the voted for. Trump only cares about who can feed his ego.

From the Interweb: "While communism and socialism share many principles (in fact, some would say communism is an extreme form of socialism), the primary difference between the two is that communism is both an economic and political system, while socialism is only an economic system, and as such can exist within a number of political systems or even within parts of a larger economic system, such as capitalism. Other notable differences exist around the concepts of personal ownership (socialism maintains the concept of personal property ownership, while communism removes it) and personal choice (socialism maintains personal choice in areas like education and religion, while communism removes it)." I think this means that the equation "socialism = communism" doesn't quite work.

xaeromancer Well, maybe that's why we're still on top, the "European Union" had their fair shares on "developed policies". Now the French President is actually begging for the citizen's respect, funny, right?

xaeromancer Medicines, education, those are things you need to live a proper and fulfilling life, unfortunately, that kind of living, is earned. People with much money, if not doing the work properly will eventually fail. Countless big shots have fallen down because of it but the smart ones still stays.

Easy... if you're broke because of sh&tty life choices which resulted in you not building yourself over time to being someone society is willing to pay well you "shouldn't" be supported financially by taking away from other people just because they chose the harder road. This lady's ideas are nothing new. She's talking about welfare... again... for the thousandth time... not just for children born to people who shouldn't have kids... but everyone. Some people dig. Some people build spaceships... They don't both get the same out of life. Diggers got to get roommates and get by. What makes it harder to get by is the rising cost of living, and the kind of thing she's talking about doing is exactly what makes it worse for everyone.

Carlos Rodriguez She will be facing a lot of resistance and betrayal

We desperately need more young people getting involved in politics and taking an interest in leadership. I've had it with all these decrepit, corrupt, out-of-touch Grandpa Simpsons who have no interest in bettering their country, and are just in it for the money and the power.

Problem is, she's a communist

and to think, a show like Late Show with Colbert is filmed in New York City and hasn't covered her until now

yeah get out and vote republican and make America great again

I already did my part by sending Pramila Jayapal. We can do it.

Peregrine Moss ......I'm an expat and feel the same. 😔

Kindred spirits.

The bride of Doctor Bernie Frankenstein.

Hoopdy Sounds like a Miss America pageant contestant response.

and to think, a show like Late Show with Colbert is filmed in New York City and hasn't covered her until now. wow

In EVERY society - modern, postmodern, ancient, alien, animal, socialist, capitalist there are people who are too poor to live. This is a stupid statement. You can't save everyone from themselves. This woman is naive. Glad she's your hero because you will be easy to beat with this message.

Erroneous Monk - how, per chance, do you know that in alien society they are as violent and barbaric as human beings and have not achieved a universal worldly system that provides for all its people? there is a concept called "universal basic income". how would you know if an alien civilization, if one exists, has not achieved universal basic income for its people? homelessness can be solved with 20 billion dollars. hunger could be ended with ~100 billion dollars. free public college in America costs ~80 billion dollars we just increased the military budget by ~120 billion dollars, on top of its previously 700 billion dollars. Jeff Bezos himself is worth ~100 billion dollars, he could end homelessness himself if he wanted to the problems is priorities and whose priorities are the most important. for the US, the most important are themselves and their rich friends you are uninformed

She's cute but her voice is irritating.

Good thing neither of those things are relevant in any way, right?

ReivecS Well in order to be a politician you have to have enough energy to essentially never have a day off since your workplace product is, well, the country. Also charisma is extremely important for politicians and orators so that those who voted for them feel a connection with their government official. That’s my opinion at least.

You misinterpreted who I was replying to. That comment was for nahor88.

ReivecS Ah, I apologize.

Devil in sheeps clothing.

lushin burl Funny thing is, Donald Trump actually looks like the devil

lushin burl, you're a moron in sheep's clothing? Thanks for sharing i guess...

sexist bunk

Uh, Hey grandpa... She's a socialist ... an enemy of the state trying to disrupt America from within.

Give your aunt a high five for me

And for me.

And for me too!

Lol I live in the 13tb of Manhattan, not too far from the Bronx. For me she's repping where I'm from

Zennin Casl - That's cool!

Yea if she defund the police they won’t get the proper training so they will be more corrupt.

@C C Philip DeFranco has released a video that covers Defunding/Abolishing police and what it means. I believe that you should educate yourself on what you're arguing for, before you jump to conclusions. What I'm about to go into is covered in the video, some parts of what I say even word for word, but please do your own research on this, because this is an issue that needs to be talked about. Nobody is proposing for anybody to be in danger- this all started because black Americans are constantly in danger of losing their lives because of police. At least hear what the other side has to argue before becoming a bigot. Defunding and abolishing the police is not what you think it is. Nobody is saying to completely remove money or police immediately- or ever. People still need to be safe, but right now, police are not living up to that standard. These ideas of defunding/abolishing begin with dismantling the idea that police are public stewards meant to protect communities. Because right now, many black Americans do not feel as though the police are protecting them. Defunding the police means that funds that would normally go to the police would be distributed among the communities- specifically marginalized communities that the police would normally serve in. Basically, the higher standard on the community is maintained, the lower existing crime rate will be. If you didn't already know, in most cities the police budget is the highest, so really, these cities would not be devastating the police force. Yes, they won't have the same number of resources available to them, but you know what will? Mental health services, housing, hospitals, schools, food. That is where the money will be disbursed. Which will increase safety of the community. When you invest in communities- they become safer, meaning that the need for the police is lessened. By defunding the police, they limit the ability for police to harm communities- specifically black communities. So what about what you mentioned before? The home invaders? The rapists? they won't just go away just because the community is nicer. You're right, but the thing is, right now police are over relied on, from homelessness to domestic abuse. We turn to the police when, really, years of experience and common sense tell us that we can handle these things ourselves. By shrinking their funding, we shrink police responsibilities- so they will only respond to actual emergencies- like a home invasion. By defunding the police, the money can go into areas where it really matters, such as social and mental health providers, expanding community mediation and violence disruption programs and providing more training for those individuals to help descalate situations. It's also important to note that defunding the police has been used before! In Eugene, Oregon, they use a program called CAHOOTS- a nonprofit crisis intervention program, that had responded to over 25,000 calls of service last year- about 20% of the area's 911 calls with a budget of just 2 million dollars. If CAHOOTS can do that, with just 2 million in funding, why can't the police? So what does abolishing the police mean? Well, first off, it's not something that is going to happen over night. It isn't about snapping your fingers and instantly defunding every department in the world. Rather, they are talking about a gradual process of strategically reallocating resources and responsibilities away from police and towards more community based models of safety, support, and prevention. The people that respond to crises in a community, should be those who are best equipped to deal with these crises. Not strangers armed with guns- who very likely do not live in the neighborhood they are patrolling. Like defunding, funds will go to mental health service providers, social workers, victim/survivor advocates, religious leaders, neighbors and friends- all the people who really make up the fabric of a community- who look out for each other. Both of these ideas include moving funding to the community and shrinking the duties of the police, while giving them to others who will be better suited for dealing with certain situations. The biggest difference is that defunding is more of a spectrum. So please, next time you claim something terrible is going to happen because of a worst case scenario that nobody wants or is even suggesting: learn about what you're arguing against.

@@ethio1285 Most police are only trained for a year. Sometimes not even half that. They aren't being properly trained in the first place.

She's a truly beautiful woman, both inside and out. And she's remarkably brave. I won't be having any future children, but I completely agree with you that if I did then AOC would be a real role model.

Morgan Marks notice how they don’t reply back to you. People like that refuse to listen to any knowledge or actual facts. 👏👏

starlight1314 Meanwhile, the President is still running around talking about his election victory...

starlight1314 Every politician says "We" so their voters can feel special. Trump as exception because he is fucking crazy.

In all her nterviews she says 'we.' It speaks volumes about her character.

Well, as a socialist, that's the least that she could say... I mean, c'mon. Kinda, what she's about, right?

Yeah, Communists are like that. Until they aren't.
