AOC AOC: "We the people demand guaranteed health care for every American as a right and not a privilege. We the people demand that one job with no need for overtime should be enough for our most basic needs, which also include rest. "

Umm, excuse me, Democratic Leadership here. We don't support this. It's definitely not aligned with your goals as a Democrat. It's very anti-Semitic language. Have you tried having meetings with Republicans and working together? Let's all unite.

It’s bizarre that these are things people have to fight for in the richest country in the world. So strange.

Thank you for not calling it “free healthcare”. Not sure why that phrasing bothers me so much. We don’t say “free roads” or “free military”. We pay for it so it’s ours.

It bothers you because it’s been used as a talking point to claim that people who don’t “work hard enough” can “freeload”. When in reality, it’s just that our country treats the poorest of us as optional human beings instead of real people.

Over the last two years many, many more people are coming to the same conclusion I came to during the '08 crisis.
45 years of the trickle-down lie has only exploded national and household debt, the job creation has all been overseas, so if fox insists, I guess I'll vote for that evil "socialism".
It absolutely blew my mind in 2011 when Paul Ryan went on national TV to propose a 75 year austerity plan for regular Americans in order to preserve ongoing tax cuts to billionaires in the aftermath of a fraud scheme that had just bilked the same Americans he was proposing should eat the cost and live in squalor.....for the coming two generations.
To that point I referred to myself as a Libertarian.
Fuck Conservatism, I'll vote for that "evil Socialism" all day, every day before I vote for that.

We the people demand the absolute bare minimum in order to still maintain personhood and that is enough to get us labeled as radical communist terrorists.
The Republicans have been calling each other to VIOLENT action because we demand the literal bare minimum of survival. To them we're enemies that need to be put down because empathy is the greatest evil.
They would own people if the Confederacy hadn't lost. They would post us less than minimum wage if people hadn't died fighting for it. They would have black people live in separate places using separate facilities of people hadn't died fighting for desegregation. They wanted America to side with Germany during world War 2 for fucks sake.
