As someone with an honours degree in economics let me explain the feasibility of providing healthcare to everyone in the US. The US spent a little under $10000 per capita on healthcare in 2016. Suppose for argument sake that remains true for another decade and we hold the population constant. That gives a lower bound estimate of 325 million x $10000 x 10 years = $32.5 Trillion with current uninsured levels. Medicare for all is even cheaper than this lower bound and it would insure everyone. It would remove overhead and administrative costs and allow the government to bargain for lower drug prices. Australia for example has Medicare for all and spends less than $5000 per capita and has significantly better healthcare outcomes. In addition, Medicare for all would improve preventative care as people would actually visit the doctor reducing expensive emergency procedures. Finally, I would like to make the point that like education and public roads, healthcare has positive externalities which a private provider would not take into account and hence would under provide. Therefore, government provision is warranted.
When people talk about "its gonna cost money" they dont take the average persons payment for ensurance into account, which ofc they should but they dont... but its pretty annoying to listen to leftleaning people who seem to suggest that this is going to be paid for by taxing the rich.... it isnt, this is going to be paid for by taxing the middle class, thats how every other country has done it, im from sweden and i like this system, but i do pay shitloads of money since im a healthy 30 year old for people who arent healthy...
So yes, the rights "its gonna cost you more" is bullshit, but the lefts "we will give you free shit and the rich is gonna pay for it" is also bullshit...
And take it from someone who works as a doctor in a socialised medicine country with no insurance companies for healthcare and so on... if you like to get shitloads of unnessecery tests and CT-scans and so on and you think quantity of care is better than quality, then you will not like socialised healthcare... if you want healthcare where the doctor, uncorrupted, makes the best decision for you, about tests and xrays n so on, you will love socialised healthcare like we have in sweden... and we do have problems with queues for non emergency surgery, but its equal for everyone, although the rich here just buys private insurance and skips the queue anyway.
people are not static
@@beyondthepale9071 that doesn't change anything about this, that's likely why population growth was left out.
@@pattygould8240 I didn't mention pop growth
@@tigerw222 funny>> Uncorrupted government managed. That's hilarious. Also, the rich in countries with socialized medicine don't wait in line with others.
I think she is a breath of fresh air in the Democratic party.
well when bugeyes kills all the cows and stop farting the air will be clean again.
LMFAO
most of the USPS have the worst customer service and now they suggest people give them money? so stupid
Fresh voice! I agree, that we need to lay out a new platform and not apologize for it!
donate some of your money to the cause...
I agree that there needs to be a new platform. One piece of advice though, when you create it, make sure you create it based on actual facts, not utter BS that can be completely undone with a single follow up question (which the interviewer totally avoided) because it lacks any substance.
@Amy McCain The girl is STRONG. She is going to be a FORCE.
She will most likely win, as shoe has no competition in that district. (meaning that the republican stands no chance no matter who he is) Frankly, since most of the candidates she endorsed failed miserably, she will simply get the seat in the house and stay there for two years and not make a single difference. Then she will come up for reelection and she will get beaten by a democratic challenger because her views are utterly garbage, have no basis in reality, she cannot intelligently defend them, and she has constantly failed in explaining the basics of economics.
@catmani2 Ummm, you might wrong about that. Well, most of that anyway.
You're right that she has no competition in that district. The Republican Anthony Pappas has barely raised funds & has the most basic campaign website imaginable. He's 72 years old & more focused on highlighting family court issues due to his divorce drama with his ex-wife. Based on the platform Alexandria's running on, his platform is entirely out of place.
She DOES have sneaky Joe Crowley hanging around on the Working Families Party ballot (WFP stupidly auto-endorsed him early on & can't get him to remove himself from the ballot). But she's way too famous now for him to overcome.
She just got 839,000 Twitter Followers at the time of this writing August 28, 2018. No way he can touch her now.
Now while every candidate she endorsed didn't get through, a good number DID & WILL. Keep your eye on Zephyr Teachout for New York Attorney General & Cynthia Nixon for New York Governor for 2 examples.
She will get the seat in the U.S. House of Representatives for New York District 14 but she will NOT stay there for 2 years.
She will have that seat as long as she wants that seat. She's a fixture in the community & loves her community.
They seem to love her back. She gets anything substantial done, she's locked in for as long as necessary.
She WILL make a difference & more than a single one. She's ALREADY making a difference as a mere candidate!
So once she's actually in office, watch her work. She's not the usual politician. "The Right Wing" knows this best.
No challenger will be able to touch her when it comes time for her re-election. She plans to be strongly rooted to her district so she has no worries about being Joe Crowleyed spending time in Washington D.C.
Her views are EXCELLENT & I bet that's not all the views she has in mind. More will come as she performs in office.
I have a feeling she will INNOVATE Congressional Representation in her time as a U.S. Representative.
She is firmly based in reality & she is very intelligent since these aspects are reflected in her oratory & media appearances.
She defended Medicare For All BRILLIANTLY to CNN's Chris Cuomo & she was a MAJOR in Economics.
This background will be seen prominently in her advocacy in Congress. You're wrong, catmani2. Wrong.
Shes amazing. Proud of my fellow NYCer. Keep pushing, AOC!
@Alexander Schaefer So much hope coming out of New York lately.
We gotta get Cynthia Nixon, Juumane Williams, Zephyr Teachout, Julia Salazar, & all others in that mold into their offices.
Bring the whole squad with AOC so we can REALLY change this country.
How proud when AOC voted out Amazon ... Plus charged with funneling money into her pocket... Away from Americans... She is a lying thing. She takes a jet to DC, but not a train.... A big hipocratic to fool her fans, say that when you no longer have access to a cell phone, food, etc... Americans are fooled by this girl.... AOC is a Liar and talks like you want to hear.... Americans don't be fooled..
You have all the right tools and an amazing perspective on the soul of the democratic party. Keep on doin what you doin, AOC!
I would definitely agree that she has all the right tools. She will make a wonderful politician if she wins because based on this interview, she has the "not answering the question asked and talking around issues" down pat that politicians seem to thrive on.
I don't think she has been on the scene long enough for there to be any "legit" criticism. What seems to have happened earlier this month is that maybe 50,000 people in America listened to the whole transcript, and then the usual suspects in "conservative media" screwed around with the part about how it's not the 1990s anymore, and that the moderate "upper middle class" isn't what it was then. I took it to mean that even the minimansion crowd in Somerset County, New Jersey has to struggle more than in the good-ol' 1990s. You guys keep searching for the Dean Scream, the rest of us will take it all in in half-hour stretches.
Don Bastardo that Shapiro debate was a trap... and she didn't fall for it
Let's start off with WTF is your head. This lady makes great points about democratic Socialism, seems to have a good foundation on what it's all about. I find it shocking that unless you are a complete bafoon, its not hard to see the Ol USA, is in deep shit. This lady, who never claimed to be perfect, but put herself out there to make a difference for working class people, carries herself with integrity and class, and your jumping up and down about your interpretation of what facts are, supported by a youtube video of some stammering oaf with zero credibility. As far as wee benny the shap is concerned , a feeble man at best, funded by his RW masters to do their bidding, who twists facts and provides misinterpretations in an effort to appear infallible, wants to have a debate for his own spotlight. What has the little silver spoon boy done? Nothing, but be a pide piper for the ignorant. Leave your debate for the podcast freaks.
I D Lmao. You don't mean this vapid moron do you? I have a hard time believing she finished highschool. She is barely coherent.
She is a remarkably astute observer of the political realities in our country. I'm constantly impressed by her!
any old blue wont do.... vote justice democrat
bye bye corporate democrats.
May you live to be a thousand years old.
She’s genuine & inspiring. A breath of fresh air in a long long time !
She’s awesome, and I’m hoping to get more like her in, who refuse the legalized bribery by the corporations.
David Williamson awesome? What exactly did she say that was so awesome? Are you even an adult?
Proud Bear. Just finish reading David's comment. She refuses the legalized bribery by corporations. That's what she says that's awesome
Hey There I read it just fine. I think that’s a little bullshit in itself. I’m supposed to think she’s awesome for something like that? She refuses bribery from corporations yet she has no problem digging in the pockets of workers to pay someone who doesn’t work.. yeah, real awesome. This girl is an idiot.
David Williamson haha haha big Corps. Will turn her out like the dumb trick she is lol
@@VinnySmiles01 let me guess you think Donald is awesome right ?
Where are the full videos of your podcast? In the tweets we see pieces of it and it's not on your website. Help!
Thanks for the great video. Regarding the closed captions that are probably provided automatically: Do you think you could edit the parts where AOC is naming and endorsing other progressive democratic candidates like Abdul El-Sayed, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Fayrouz Saad? Ilhan Omar is the omly one whose name the closed captions got right. Just thought this might help make it easier following those people and spreading the word. Thanks!
Can you record more videos like this.......PLEASE
Intellectual credibility of a toothpick. Please, keep this up😂
love AOC but who is on your camera? pan and zoom every shot? amazing!
my god this interview is so good and so substantial
It's absolutely cucktastic.
listen to real economists
great interview!!
I would actually disagree. From my perspective, she was not really challenged at all. She was handed soft ball questions and was not taken to task when she talked around a question and did not actually answer. She needs to be challenged now because she will not be ready to actually defend her ideology from real challenges in the general election.
That would be fair... IF _any_ interviewers would challenge the 99 senators who ALL voted for a 90 billion extension of the already 600 billion dollar military budget. (Bernie Sanders was the one-and-only to oppose it !!!) Why don't 97 senators ever go get interviewed by TYT, RT or other online News shows? Answer nr. 1 : Because they ALL rely on the softballs and pseudo hardballs by Coumo, Tappers, Wallace & co. Answer nr. 2 : Because both the politicians and the news ancors on corporate media are on *the exact same payroll: their sponsors/superPACS.*
For an SNL OPENER LOL
Utilizing the post office is genius. Giving them more federal responsibility would be incredibly helpful in keeping it a priority. It's already necessary, but people tend to forget that when the federal budget needs to be written.
we have this in France (Belgium also) & it works well.. Allows people with little income to keep an account.. Unfortunately french politicians have been ruining all public services in the last 30 years, trying to catch up with Reagan/Thatcher.. everything has moved right & the french "Parti Socialiste" is now a right party on many levels (economic policies mainly)
Did she even fact check any thing she was saying? There’s no upper middle class? Statistically the upper middle class has been rising tremendously recently. Every fact she presented in this video was just flat out wrong.
1:04 what is "outspent 10 to 1"?
It means for every $10 he got, she got $1.....he threw millions of dollars at her and she still won. Clearly, money can't buy everything.
I wish she would talk about mixed economies. Almost all countries are a mixed economy of socialism and capitalism.
Social programs look after the citizenry because capitalist programs are predatory by nature.
Countries just have different percentages of a mix of each. Some are 50/50, some are 55/45 etc etc....
Your economy is mixed (just not mixed enough)
Lets name a few! Sweden? Hmm well now they're trying to cut social programs due to a massive deficit. Denmark? Again massive deficit. Lets try china! People own businesses in china, and i heard you can take out massive loans only if you completely agree with the chinese communist party! How fun
I wish she could talk intelligently about, like, anything.
Thank you for the clarity of this conversation.
Love hearing her speak. She is unapologetically bold and progressive and she understands that America is ready for vast political change
she understands how to be a parasite..
Cankles/2021 WTF It Happened Again! Your fear tactics of socialism do not work because this isn’t the Cold War anymore. Labels don’t matter, what matters is policy. And the facts are that social democratic policies would in fact save Americans money, as much as the right hates that. Obama did nothing. He didn’t create vast political change. He was basically a moderate neoliberal who only cared about corporations rather than the public. As much was they wanted to call Obama a socialist, he was a moderate conservative in sheeps clothing.
Elijah C = Ignoramus. Obama was 0% conservative. American Conservatism is limited government and freedom. Obama vastly increased the size of government and loved regulations so yea, keep showing us how uninformed you are.
Elijah C.
Go look at the Democratic Socialist of America America's own web page, they want to eliminate private ownership of companies. You can check for yourself but Steven Crowder also makes a good video detailing the web page and how their Democratic socialism really just is socialism. In my opinion it's borderline in what you seen in communism was forced labor.
she makes no sense at all and her arguments fall apart under the slightest of scrutiny.
"we need to start reframing our issues; instead of left and right, to top and down" [20:30] that is the basic principle of marxism.
"The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles" - Karl marx, Manifesto of the Communist Party, chapter I.
she is crazy as a three dollar bill, however she really believes in what she says and she is attractive and charming which makes her scary. I am sorry her mom had to work 2 jobs but he my worked her butt off until the day she died, get over it. She seems she angry at the middle class and to say there isn't a middle class just shows how she is only focused on NY and mostly the city area where she grew up. There is a thriving middle class all three lower middle and upper middle class. Scary how she isn't really informed at all in any of her interviews but most everyone just listens and is like awwww youre so cute ….
this was GREAT!
She's in the house now, and stirring shit up. I love it. Oh, Mitch? Mitch? Come out of your shell and lets have a vote.
“For the things that are most important” ~11:00 should have been said “for the things that are least likely to make money for corporations next quarter”
She is unusually articulate. Her comment on the sudden emptiness of the coffers when it comes to spending money on human capital is on the nail.
Democrats should run “abolish ICE” talk about it in North Dakota especially.
if youre looking for the soccer Mom comment the segment starts around 24:00
She makes a lot of good points and speaks much truth in this interview. It's a shame, the state of the democratic party and the lack of true leadership within it.
LMAO the trolls follow her name where ever it pops up
her laugh is literally the sweetest thing ever 🥺
Why didnt yall cover AOC before the primary election? #CrookedCorporatists
Because Pod Save America are without doubt the most shamelessly odious corrupted DNC shills in media.
They just obfuscate it in the appearance of pseudo-millennial critique of Trump et al.
There's one thing they cannot obfuscate. That's voice tone, inflection and the differential nature of their questions depending on who they're questioning. DNC tools? Softball, never critiquing queries. Progressives? Straight into a series of "justify your positions" queries.
This is a perfect example. Contrast this with their slathering gawping interview (not questioning) of Biden.
😂😂 I'm astonished!
Bernie 2020
TheKijib lol. Bernie Cremated on 2020
well done ,thank you BOTH
All I can say is "WOW, Really"
So true it's not a left or right issue it's a top to bottom issue and as a middle class voter, I'm tired of the inequality
I so very much appreciate you Alexandria! Thank you! I hope you can find a way to setup a organization to help train a new generation of public servants and progressive campaign people with your passion, commitment and clarity!
She is a spoiled, bratty, drug ADDICTED dumb-dumb...
she is so awesome.
Why have a left, a middle or a right political party. It seems that theres no party that's for all of us. Everybody clearly for themselves and who they can knock down, slander or just worry for their agenda. Which isn't mine or yours, or for what is right, fair, justice, liberty, freedom. Come on rebuild every house, building, do away with cows, dairy, no airplanes or cars??? Are we forgetting American Fossils. Fear is real, oppression is leading this stream over our eyes and ears. If you haven't noticed. No one party is in control, but
Didnt finish it. however who ever is in charge, please show up. The political soap opera show down to make this America great again ? Is really making America dumb, and frankly I'm bored with the whole Russian conclusion theory story or anything about Stormie Daniel's or Nancy Peloski and her Male sidekicks, and walls that protect , the people we need to worry about are already planted amongst us.,the system that controls our weather, our water, food source, our right for privacy, mind control, and where is the next protest, or gun shooting of innocent lives, can we truly believe what is said to be real, truthful. No one in the political forum is being truthful, they ditch and lie on each other, why are those haters for Trump so jealous. Can we have any good doers to lead righteously.? Bored and Hopeless, like Dana Barret says, 'I'm just saying, ya know'
Would love to see the elimination of caste and all people treated equally in economic and social context.
Wake up people.... she’s thoughtless
Take a drink for every time she says "I think"
Youd get shitfaced in 2 minutes bro
Such an intelligent, exciting, insightful and visionary person. I just love her so much. Go AOC, Go!
She impressed me.
i don't know if i agree with her on everything, but i'm happy she gets younger voters to pay attention
She’s great. Incels hate her.
Please state s single answer that she gave that is factually correct.
James Galligan are you stupid? This chick is a total Marxist idiot.
It's hilarious how the word incels triggered these people
Wish I could vote for her!
As a blue collared, Canadian union tradesmen.... SINGLE PAYER HEALTHCARE SUCKS. I pay $12,000/year in taxes for health care alone. My wife broke her ankle and got treated in a hallway in a wheelchair!
*Frank Zappa would be very proud of AOC. Frank wanted people to get involved in issues and VOTE. He had vote registration booths at his concerts.*
I agree, definitely not Trump as many pinheads online seem to think that Zappa would have liked.
She's awesome.
Good interview overall, but man, she is going to fight a lot of Democratic party loyalists (including PSA) scared to death of the word 'socialism'. Get over it!! People value honesty and courage over being soft, stealthy and non-confrontational. I believe the strongest argument is this: Since the electorate clearly is willing to listen to some dangerous lies (SAD!), you might as well start campaigning on some dangerous truths!!
MobioDEN, thats because many people don't know that there is a distinction between socialism and communism.
MobioDEN I mean, that's fine. The problem is there have to be victories that result in helping push those dangerous truths forward to act on. Once DSA and the like win some competitive elections then they can be given more reverence. This is a single house election from an uncompetitive district.
Correction: Most of them don't WANT to know there is a difference. They enjoy screaming "communist" and want it to stay that way. Getting people un-stuck from their current world-view/political-tribalism is a slow and painful extraction process to be sure.

Socialism is wonderful so prove yourself today....PLEASE start right now by sending the government 60, 70 or even 100% of your income to help out ..Why wait for the govt mandate to live by your Socialist values? ..... Again Please start today.. Don't be a hypocrite. Remember it's for the children
No Scandinavian country is socialist. Sweden and Israel as well, two countries which are wealthy now, attempted partial socialist systems in the past had very poor results and even now still suffering from the legacy of those socialist decisions.
asunduko1 False.
That’s simply not true. If it was t for the heavily socialist influenced kibbutzim, there would be no Jewish State. David Ben-Gurion was an ardent socialist. Not to mention Israel has universal healthcare and a strong safety net. Why? Because they get military subsidies from the US government and heavy donations from the Jewish Diaspora. Not to mention receiving reparations for the Holocaust. The have a free market economy with distinct strong social democratic undertones.
I don't think you understand the operative word "attempted". If Kibbutzim and Moshavim are such a recipe for success then why are they dying out and infinitesimally small part of the economy? Shouldn't there be more of them than in the years past ? Yes, Universal Healthcare is great but apparently that universe doesn't include their war heroes and intelligence agency chief like Meir Dagan who was denied a liver transplant. Israel was getting much more help from diaspora decades ago (there was an article about it last week), and US military aid is at least 40 years old and German reparations even precede those. And none of which helped it one iota become a prosperous nation. Free market economics + undoing years of socialist cronyism and corruption did.
Socialism is wonderful so prove yourself today....PLEASE start right now by sending the government 60, 70 or even 100% of your income to help out ..Why wait for the govt mandate to live by your Socialist values? ..... Again Please start today.. Don't be a hypocrite...... Remember it's for the children
The "left--right thing" is not even two dimensional, it is one-dimensional. AOC is speaking for so many of us, the big economic issues are indeed moral issues with clear moral choices. As for Ben Shapiro, asking AOC to debate him is the same sort of waste of her time as someone like myself asking Ben to debate me. Not to mention isn't it a violation of US law to offer money for such a debate with a political candidate? She has way bigger fish to fry. Debating Shapiro would achieve nothing for the democratic socialist movement. Does anyone think Shapiro is open minded enough to admit he has his entire moral foundations for his economic outlook all wrong? No way! Seriously. He is one of the most closed minded, belligerent, mean-spirited didactic nerd that I've ever heard. You only debate such people for laughs, let him debate Sacha.
One other thing: what sort of moral character does someone have to have to resort to money to get someone into a debate? It's pathetic. If he had a brilliant solid argument against the goodness and morality of AOC's politics he would not need to entice her with money. He should know money does not motivate AOC, to even think she would be sucked in by the lure of greenbacks is to cynically assume she does not believe in her principles. Which makes Shapiro worse than a slimy capitalist, he does not acknowledge that some politicians actually have moral scruples and live by their principles. But it's such a conservative neoliberal dogma isn't it? Money can buy anything they think, freedom can only be found through market mechanism they believe. Such naivete and simplicity. That's what make a dude like Shapiro so cocky ad confidant, his ideas are so simplistic he can have a lot of faith in them because they lack all nuance and historical context.
I. Love. Her.
Ok
How about good faith conservatives / republicans? 9:45
Our country is $21,000,000,000,000 in debt. We have a large deficit. This means that we don't have enough money to pay our yearly debts. Has Alexandria ever discussed how we are going to get this debt under control? Alexandria doesn't understand money or how it works, because if she did, she wouldn't be offering all this free stuff. The information she offers is often inaccurate. She needs to get her facts straight!
She's young beautiful and smart
2/3 isn't bad
"Because you don't believe that corporations should dictate every single aspect of your life that you are not a capitalist." This is a total strawman. At the height of laissez-faire, corporations didn't "dictate every single aspect of your life," they provided the customer with a vast array of goods and services so THEY can dictate every single aspect of their life (short of violating someone else's rights)
Sure...both parties rapidly outsourcing jobs for the grand "vast array" of wal-mart vs target. Comcast vs. nothing. Aetna vs. nothing. Something has to change. Only socialism or government expenditures are going to bring jobs or raise wages. Free market will continue to go to the newest slave labor to exploit around the world
Yes, because government takeover of private sector economies, or government expenditures for jobs have never gone wrong in history. Nope, totally never. I mean We spent hundreds of billions on all those "shovel ready jobs" right. Oh, oh dear. But we all know that the government is totally efficient with our tax dollars and don't waste billions upon billions on stupid projects, waste and red tape. Oh, oh dear....
@Dave Boginsky - If you hadn't noticed, we don't have laissez-faire now, we have government raising the barrier to entry in all kinds of fields to protect their favored cronies from competition. My point is that Ocasio-Cortez's fear that unfettered capitalism means corporations ruling you is historically completely unfounded. It's the "public-private partnerships" ie fascism you should fear
I don't tweet so this is the only place I can comment about the episode, it is in reference to the subject just before the first break. I've been thinking the same thing about the increase in mass shooting and Trump rhetoric since Las Vegas. It was very well said.
Ha, she criticizes Trump for lying. That's rich.
@Alex Gutierrez try looking her up on Politifact once. Pot calling the kettle black.
Are you angry because someone is criticizing the lying gaffe machine that Tom Perez called the future of the Democratic party? White knight some more.
Brilliant! Thanks for your contribution.
I really dislike her. Unqualified in the extreme. The people of Queens deserve better.
I'm baby boomer and all my life as far as I can remember, everyone has complained about government. They didn't have confidence in our leaders, doing the right thing. So, now it's time to have a different perspective in how government should be run. It's time for a change. I have confidence in her generation.
@Rob Conlin Why do you automatically assume, that MORE government is inherently bad?. I am in "Big Government" Denmark, and we have just, once again, been listed as the LEAST corrupt country in the world. In USA it is LEGAL for private corporations to buy politicians. Millennials in USA in general wants money out of politics, so elected politicians listen to their VOTERS, not their DONORS.
Wow. Reading the comments here, if Americans can't see honesty and integrity when it comes along, we are doomed. The corporate Dems fear her for obvious reasons, and the Right is just too insane to understand that she offers a way out of the madness. I wish the best for this country.
Isadore LaDuca she is a DUMB privileged drug ADDICTED moron..
she is racist
I cant believe I listened to this whole interview...😴🙃😫
Shes right we need new ideas. Enough of the old recycled ideas.
I like this one ☝🏽. She is reasonable and even-kill opinionated. Smart. Solution oriented.
I thought pod save America was supposed to be a serious podcast? They basically just kissed her ass and didn’t question anything she said.
Damn...give this lady 10-15 years of experience in Congress, and she'll be presidential material!
Kevin Morrow maybe 10-15 years out in the real world ?
I like her!
I think she likes the word like!
Like, I think you're right.
OMG, you are, like, so catty!
She is high on speed pills. I know a guy who sells her adderal speed pills !
I think Kyle Kulinski is right regarding the definition of Democratic Socialism. Most people in the public sphere are really Social Democrats, but Democratic Socialism has become the umbrella term that covers both.
Love AOC - good luck!
As a Canadian, all of you guys know that she's only far to the left in America, right? In every other modern country, the things she's talking about, everyone, even conservatives, accept as routine. By the way, I've never once heard someone ask, "how are we going to pay for that MASSIVE increase in military spending?" but as soon as someone says "I want to give people healthcare", everyone values fiscal responsibility over everything. It's kinda fucked up.
we need lots more like her!
Haha... could not agree more. But probably not for the same reason.
go to cuba or Venezuela you can have many more like her.. let me know how that works out...
The stupid is strong in you.
Yes Tony, because the US is exactly like those countries in every way.....dumb reply
Yeah! We need more people like her in government willing to give other people's stuff away! Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee....weeeeeeeeeeeee.........
Awww look at them...they’re sooooo cute talking about politics☺️
Lol
Plz stop calling what you are advocating democratic socialism. You are advocating for social democracy.
But it is socialism!
AOC SHE IS BAD ASS!
KEEP IT GOING
I'm amused by all the hysterical hatred vomiting forth from right wing trolls here--you are utterly terrified by a bright, informed, articulate young woman with a strong moral center. And all this gibberish about "socialism" and "communism" and Venezuela...when in fact her views are no different from those of FDR and the social democratic governments in Europe. She is beyond "isms" and "schisms." She focuses on the issues themselves.
We've got our strong message now! It's Cohen down for real!
Can they not afford a second camera I’m getting dizzy
Hey kids, I registered to vote in 1969 and you can call me a liberal, you can call me a progressive, you can call me a democratic socialist . A rose by any name , still votes blue !!!!
back to facebook grandma
because you are a sheep and need a handout by the work of others..
hey , screw all you assholes !!
Jackie Roberts So you haven't learned a Goddam thing in 30 years? I'm sad to say it took me 25 years to wake up and dump that liberal nonsense.
well said robert ;-)
She's too good for America, hope they see that
As a European, I find American political terms very confusing. I've gotten used to the fact that "liberal" doesn't mean "non-extremist" but "left" but are democratic socialists just what social democrats are in Europe? Judging from their goals they seem to be. But then why use the term "socialist" that's so toxic in America when not even left-leaning Europeans use it, even though it's not anywhere near as toxic here as it is in the US?
I might not agree with her on all her platform ideas, but she knows her stuff. She is a diamond in the rough. Some....people can't stand a bright, educated Latina from the Bronx.
You can’t forget the funeral costs...
All she talks about are labels & buzzwords.
Never anything specific. How will she pay for her utopia?
Ask all the other socialst/communist leaders.
Nati by Nature triggered
Basically what she's saying - if you're more likable, then people vote for you. Let's be fluffy, fuzzy, mew mew!
Do not talk so much about “socialism” .... talk about the
“Social Democrat” polices
Why? Who cares? They call Obama , Schumer and Pelosi communists.
"What is this, a crossover episode?"
Nice to see Lovett with his grown up hat on 😉
I am so on board with her, reminds me of our prime minister in NZ Jacinda Ardern.
Soooo crazy and totally full of shit?
K TIZZ
I'm hoping you're referring to Rogernomics and not Ardern.
Ain't Winnie the PM at the moment?
Get another camera! If Joe Rogan can, you can! YES, YOU CAN! YES, YOU CAN!
New ideas ? Better read Dr Rudolf Steiner's Threefold Social Order.
Johannes Bekker reminds me of the newest of new inventions, the garbage disposal! And waterless even! Don’t worry folks, that grinding sound is normal.
I like think that she like wanted to like get a message across to the interviewer but like lost her train of like thought for a few seconds and like her brain, WHAT LITTLE OF SHE IS USING, like jumps to a different subject.
I love how much AOC upsets conservatives
I agree when you can't defeat the message they resort to insulting her looks as if she's running for a beauty pageant.
I'm not a conservative, but AOC is indeed a moron.
@John X - Next to Donald J Trump she's fuckin Einstein, so your attempts at questioning her intelligence level is moot.
No, she's really not. She is economically illiterate and spews out constant BS that even left wing outlets call her out on. Plus, someone saying "like" every other word typically points to them being idiotic. And I'm not questioning her intelligence - I'm stating that she's a fucking moron.
LOVE AOC
So union bosses making a half million dollars of my money is different than the company owner making money off my labor how?
