Elections Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Establishment Democrats' Wakeup Call

Scandinavian countries score roughly the same as America on the free market index, any difference is negligible, and some actually have less regulations specifically on business enterprise. I know a lot of people on the left are crying about The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act lowering corporate tax from 35% to 21% but in Sweden it's 22%, Norway 24% and Denmark 24%. This idea that Scandinavian countries are 'socialist' is a complete myth, it simply isn't true.

I know you think slapping on the "socialist" label to her name is a good tactic, but once the boomer fucks of the Rush Limbaugh generation die off, socialist policies will flourish.

As you can see, across the board Americans are more accepting of socialism. Whites are the only demographic that favored capitalism to socialism because they have the oldest average age and still harbor a Cold War mindset. But that's rapidly changing with the younger generation.

And yes, you should fear Ocasio-Cortez because she is just the first of many.

And what you have done here is given us a great example of why European countries and countries built by European descendants (such as America) have been the most successful. Demographics are everything. I know this isn't the point you wanted to make or think you're making but it is. Thank you lol.

Here are some of Ocasio-Cortez's major policy positions:

1. Tuition-free college for all (paid for by the federal government)
2. Medicare for all (paid for by the federal government)
3. Abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement
4. Jobs for all (paid for by the federal government)
5. Housing for all (paid for by the federal government)
6. Family and sick leave for all (paid for by the federal government)

Realignment is proceeding seamlessly, @Jack V Savage .

Paid for by who now? I think you mean tax payers. These ideas are great when 95% of able bodied adults work their ass off.

she doesnt take corporate money which is a step in the right direction for future candidates, i think both sides can agree thats what we want. its the reason why many republicans voted for trump because they thought he was an anti establishment.

Was she even offered corporate money?

So what you are saying is that demographics are destiny? That non-whites and whites have fundamentally different value systems? The majority of white male millennials identify as republicans, you did know that right? That inviting in people of different ethnicities is destroying the US culture?

yes, a slight majority of white millennials did vote Republican, but that is shrinking.

considering how overwhelming the conservative lock for male white voters used to be, this trend should terrify the GOP.

I feel sorry for you if this is what you conclude from those charts.
 
this is too much winning. if this is their future, then theres a good 350% chance trump is going to get reelected.

I agree with the thesis, but think this article really misses some important points. Like the dramatic rise inequality over the last half century in the USA, the mess of the private healthcare system, or the simple fact that markets create wealth but don't solve poverty / always distribute so well. It gets the reduction of global poverty correct, sure but that's not going to redeem the market when you have these other forces at play. It hits one issue head on, the adherents of the free market have jumped the shark so hard that credibility has been undermined. But it goes way beyond calling obama a socialist. The Laffer curve, screaming austerity after a recession, tax cuts during a boom, are just a few examples of where extreme capitalism is arguably not empirically correct. So it's more than just a bunch of millennials that just don't know any better.

I wonder if their opinion would still be the same had they actually traveled the world and got a real-world taste of the centralize government controlled wealth distribution that they're clamoring for.

"Free stuff!" sounds wonderful on paper, but no lunch is ever free. Not in China, not in Vietnam, not in Venezuela, and certainly not in New York.

Well its certainly cheaper and a lot better in those countries and might be something that country that spends twice as much as everyone else with worse outcomes might want to consider instead of just shouting "NOTHINGS FREEE!!!!1111" like a deranged madman and plugging their ears because they might be wrong.

what? like Europe?

you dont even understand what they are asking for. Ocasio-Cortez wants a mixed economy of capitalism/socialism. You are picking full on socialist states with limited(if any) access to markets. Its just intellectually dishonest

This isn't splintering, Trumpet.

This is what Trump yoked. This is what the incessant blathering about Hillary long after she was obsolete has achieved. You and your ilk have successfully cemented the Democrats' commitment to a European mindset. This is the future, now. This is the new liberal party. Don't expect to enjoy any "anti-establishment" advantage in future elections. The liberals paid attention. They learned. Now they have that, the youth, control of the MSM/Academia/Hollywood/Silicon Valley, and oh yeah! The have the numbers, too, already, if you forgot. They managed to win the popular vote despite the worst demographic turnout imaginable for them.

They're more enthusiastic about this socialist thing. Great "win". Good long-term thinking. That's what Trump does, right? Thinks long term. He doesn't go bankrupt, shimmy out with a bailout, then repeat his con.

This is what a divider does. He divides. Tell me, @HereticBD, did you stop to think about where you would be sorted by these long-term identity divisions?

I did.

I am not sure how you are coming to this conclusion. This was coming regardless of Trump. In fact Trumps effect on identity politics and the racial fracturing of the Democrats has probably significantly blunted this movement. This is what happens when you have 40 years of K - graduate school communist indoctrination in schools. Obviously that's a little hyperbolic but not by a great deal. This is the feminine mindset dominating politics.

I do wonder how someone can be this miserable for this long. I mean you have to be in your forties almost by now. How are you still broke? Seriously. How are you still making the same decisions and expecting different outcomes?

Nobody is a slave here unless you live outside your means and have to work three jobs to pay for it

Yes of course if someone doesnt buy into your crony capitalist zhithole its obviously because theyre a loser. I guess everyone in Europe/Canada/Australia is broke, in their 40s, a loser, etc.

Must be nice to make up zhit to argue against instead of actually having to defend why your country and your zhitty Midwestern town is a zhithole right cincymma?

I mean there are a lot of well-off people who advocate and vote for social democracy but you just pretend to ignore that right?

They have the largest welfare state in the world among any countries which is what the morans like cincymma mean when they scream "DERP SOSHULIZM!!!

They are obviously mixed economies, but employ enough socialism to trigger all the retards on here.
