What were voters thinking electing Ocasio-Cortez

If voters (even in NY) send a woman like Ocasio Cortez to the House, what does that say about the electorate?

    The voters were NOT thinking. They were emoting, which is all that liberals do these days. If it makes them feel better, they go for it. The end result is not of concern at this time.

    I might vote in 2020 for Trump if he is on the ballot- just as a short term defensive measure to keep my oxen from being gored by the leftists. But other than for that, I think the thing to do is either just not vote and give up on politics in the USA until a real objectivist has a shot to win, OR just vote for the wildest socialist out there to get this madness over with.

    In the meantime, I think we are going to see Trump 2.0 unleashed- he will do whatver he can get away with against the liberals now.

    I understand your question but I have to respond with this. They keep electing Shelia Jackson Lee, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, and Elizabeth Warren

    Thinking is not a requirement to vote. You just need to be alive, or even dead sometimes.

    The voters' choice reveals the error of the question's premise, that the majority of voters think at all.

    No, it is not that easy. A lot of people like to get something for free. It doesn't make them socialists. Neither does "Republicans are reluctant to restore order", whatever that means.

    Medicare for all is not a "good cause." It will at least double the federal budget. "Free" tuition at community colleges, tack on another $500 billion a year. Jack up taxes on "the rich," who already subsidize half the country and kill the labor market and reduce the real tax base. Open borders and we will see urban pandemics as a flood of "refugees" bring diseases we haven't seen before. Those are all Cortez positions that I've listened to many times, unedited. She, and many other liberal politicians like her, don't understand economics and aren't interested in learning.

    They Were not thinking. Thinking is frowned upon in the party that worships the usages of Marx, Engels and Lenin.

    Finally! A candidate that truly exemplifies the philosophy of their party. A young, good-looking, ignorant, moronic person who is totally unaware of personal ignorance.You sure she doesn't dye her hair? She's gotta be a blond.

    In NYC it is pretty hard to even find a republican let alone one willing to run against the liberal bastions who own this state. She beat an incumbent R in the primary and no other viable candidate was put forward.

    Shame on you for twisting and perverting the decode using gematria. Numerology is an Illuminati tradition and they are the enemy , 322 skull and bones 33rd degree Scottish Freemason BS.
    Gematria is a type of CODE.
    Gematria is one of several methods of assigning a numerical value to a name, word or phrase based on its letters.

    Gematria originated as an Assyro-Babylonian-Greek system of alphanumeric code or cipher that was later adopted into Jewish culture.

    Many people just want to be taken care of. The historic family structure used to do this caregiving. Now, with the family structure being destroyed, the Government is the new caregiver...because the Government is so good at taking care of everything it touches.

    I have the same notion on the "good causes".

    In California the stupid voters approved a gasoline tax (it has been an increasingly higher amount over years). After the ballot passed, the left praised it as the best thing since sliced bread, saying now we'll have money for infrastructure. It is common knowledge that not a penny will go to roads which have been in dismal shape for decades. The money will go to pet projects and voters will not see ANY result in improved roads.

    Quite understandable, I hear that a lot from eople. I only rely on what I have read of Q posts, what has actually happened, and some of the deciphering, as, as Q says, "disinformation is necessary". Q openly admits some stuff is made for the other side to latch onto. They have to. I do believe Trump will use the FISA declas as a hammer for a lot of things, one of which is the Five Eyes intelligence network, and one is to prove criminal intent by a large group involved. But, we do have to see where this goes. You are not wrong to be skeptical, it requires faith in the idea there are some good guys left, who do not want the huge monster to continue.

    Thanks for providing the details that she was effectively unopposed, Nick.

    "Once the FISA is revealed, there will be very little left of the current leadership in the house"
    From your post to Galt's ears, but wishing won't make it happen. (Nor will believing in a shadowy figure who spouts numerology instead of providing objective evidence.)
    I would love to see all the looters prosecuted, but from my observation of the ethics of current bureaucrats, I doubt there will be charges brought on looters by looters. They do not see the wrong as wrong. AS portrayed today's reality.

    Folks, it had a lot to do with this:

    https://nypost.com/2018/10/30/gop-dit...

    The republicrats in NY should all be ejected, their party disbanded, and a new party drawn up, as they had to be in bed with the dumbocraps to not vet their candidate. They allowed her a free pas. That is, unless someone WANTED a "child" to go to congress and then become the screaming meltdown queen of the left everytime she cannot get "free stuff" and is rudely forced to face reality, that no one cares about her agenda, and she will be told to shut up and sit down. Once the FISA is revealed, there will be very little left of the current leadership in the house, as well as seeing how many indictments take them out as well. Then, in a new election, things may change for the better.

    How about the woman beating Muslim Keith Ellison elected as Minnesota Atty Gen.
    Who wants to abolish ICE have open borders a sanctuary state and to stop the investigation into $100,000,000.00 sent to the Middle East from tax payers money through fraud at Muslim daycares.These many centers have one or two class rooms for 20-25 students yet have several hundred students registered.
