Meanwhile, the Democratic Socialist in Chief, Ocasio-Cortez, thinks so little of our Constitution and our way of life, that she can't even name the 3 BRANCHES of government. She calls them chambers and then can't even list them out. Jesus, are the Democrats electing idiots to Congress? I thought we could do better than this. Just when I think our government is so worthless it couldn't get any worse, there is always something else that surprises me to the downside.

"Democratic Socialist" Ocasio-Cortez Couldn't Name The 3 Branches Of Government
If you needed more evidence that "Democratic Socialist" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - who, at 29, is the youngest woman ever elected to Congress - isn't ready for prime time, here it is.
During a conference call with prospective far-left candidates over the weekend, Ocasio-Cortez advised her comrades that the time for revolution is at hand: "[We need to] work our butts off to make sure that we take back all three chambers of Congress - Uh, rather, all three chambers of government: the presidency, the Senate, and the House" - in 2020. We can't start working in 2020."
For the record, the three branches of government are the legislative, the executive and the judiciary.
But this is only the latest in an embarrassing stream of slip ups and gaffes from Ocasio-Cortez, who has a degree in economics from Boston University, but has spent most of her time since graduating working in restaurants and non-profits. Since being thrust into the limelight after her upset primary win, Ocasio-Cortez has claimed that unemployment is low because everybody has two jobs (that's not how it works), struggled to explain Israel's occupation of Palestine, claimed that the "upper-middle class doesn't exist anymore" ( it's actually growing) and wrongly accused Joe Crowley, the Democratic leader whom she defeated in an upset primary win, of plotting a third-party run against her (he wasn't, and didn't). And perhaps most memorably of all, Ocasio-Cortez told Chris Cuomo over the summer that Medicare for All would be much cheaper than the current system because the current health-care cost data don't factor in the funeral costs for all those who die for lack of health care.
That's right: Ocasio-Cortez's health-care plan is so good, it's going to stop people from dying. Now that's something even libertarian venture capitalist Peter Thiel could get behind. |
