Decision Time for America: Venezuelan-Style Socialism or Winning

97
Shares

Chris Matthews of MSNBC has rediscovered that tingle up his leg that he hasn’t experienced since e******n night in 2008. In fact, the entire mainstream media in America has the tingles right now because a bona fide Democratic Socialist candidate won her primary e******n against a 10-term incumbent Democrat.

The left is excited about the e******n of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez because they can finally admit what we’ve known about them all along, which is that the Democrat Party prefers Venezuelan-style socialism over this whole freedom and prosperity experiment known as “America.”

You see, the young, hip and pretty Ocasio-Cortez (President Trump would probably rate her a low 7) is not a phony Democratic Socialist. We’re accustomed to those. Obama was able to sucker stupid people into v****g for him by spouting lines from the C*******t Manifesto and pretending he discovered them in the Bible.

But meanwhile, he was staffing his Cabinet at the White House by draining the boardroom at Goldman Sachs. We’re used to liars and grifters like that who only pretend to be full-blown socialists, but they like Martha’s Vineyard too much to ever really give up that lifestyle.

The head of the Democratic National Committee says that Ocasio-Cortez is the future of the Democratic Party. Regular Americans heard that statement and thought, “Wow, the DNC isn’t usually that open and honest about itself.” Since she is the future of the Democrat Party, then by extension, she is the future of America if we ever allow the Democrats to regain power.

Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is the real deal. Just look at that wild, semi-crazed look in her eyes. She’s a believer. She looks like she’d be the one to pull the trigger at the behest of The Party on any employee who doesn’t show sufficient zeal for Karl Marx at the mandatory weekly office indoctrination meeting at Facebook. She’s even got the hyphenated last name to signal her eternal war against muh Patriarchy!

She’s also super-rich, just like that other socialist Bernie Sanders. Ocasio-Cortez grew up in one of the wealthiest one-percenter enclaves in America. As one astute observer on Twitter remarked, isn’t it interesting that none of these socialist rock stars ever originated in a successful socialist environment?

The problem with the Venezuela-style socialism that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is peddling is that it always results in Venezuela-style conditions in the end when the l**ting is complete and it all falls apart. Have you seen what’s happening in Venezuela lately, as it reaches the end stages of socialism?

If you haven’t seen it, that’s because the American media is continuing a tradition it has had since at least the 1930s, in which the media covers up the results of its favorite political ideology.

Right now, it costs about 500 gajillion bolívars (Venezuelan dollars) to purchase a teacup of gasoline. At least, that’s what it would cost if there were a teacup of gasoline left in the once oil-rich country. Inflation is running at slightly over 40,000%, so by the time you finish reading this article, the price of a teacup of gasoline will have gone up to about 800 gajillion bolívars.

Gangs that held onto their rifles when the Venezuelan military fell apart are now in control of all water supplies in the country. All the zoos in Venezuela are empty because Walking Dead-style hordes of starving peasants emptied them out after all the grocery stores put up plywood in the windows.

Next up, the great exodus that follows anytime Venezuelan-style socialism runs its course. Masses of starving Venezuelans, who waited too long holding out hope for some sort of salvation, will now have to make a run for the nearest border.

Speaking of the great exodus after a national government collapses, Mexico just elected a full-blown c*******t for its new president. Now that Mexico has fallen into “failed state” status, the Mexican v**ers decided to fail harder by electing the one guy that would hasten their country’s demise.

Once the big collapse takes place, our southern border will be mobbed with 50 million Mexicans fleeing the heavily-armed drug cartels that will take over, making the nation look like Somalia, just without all the Muslims. That wall is sounding pretty attractive right now, isn’t it?

There’s your choice, America. We can stick to the path of freedom and prosperity under the current Official Champion of Awesomeness™ (and Delicious Taco Bowls) in the White House, El Presidente Donald J. Trump. Or, we can go down the path of Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the New York Times in the 2018 midterms.

Job growth for June was estimated to hit 190,000, but we fell short and only reached 177,000. Why? Because so many Americans have jobs thanks to President Trump that companies can’t find enough employees to fill open positions.

This is incredibly refreshing after watching the Obama and Bush administrations gut our economy by shipping jobs overseas while at the same time flooding the country with millions of cheap foreign laborers.

Under President Trump, you can have a JOB! Not only that, but if you just hold on to the job, your wages will rise as the labor market tightens even further, due to President Trump deporting all of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ relatives.

That’s one option. Under the other option – the Ocasio-Cortez option – you get to break into the zoo late at night and try to take down Dumbo with a sharp stick, so your kids won’t starve to death.

There is some bad news that comes with this option, however. If you want to actually cook your Dumbo steaks, you’ll have to light a fire by rubbing two sticks together because the power will be out, and the local Quik-E-Mart will have long since run out of matches and lighters. You’ll also want to wear kneepads when you want to get a glass of water from the nearest local warlord.

Option A: Freedom and growing prosperity under President Trump, coupled with overwhelming joy because life is so incredibly good. Option B: Dumbo steaks with optional char-broiling, accompanied by a nightmarish descent into an apocalyptic survival-of-the-fittest hellscape.

No pressure, but those are the two options we face in the 2018 midterm e******ns. Conservatives need to show up and v**e if they like the sound of Option A. Indifference and low turnout will ensure that Option B will be chosen for you.

From:
https://www.biography.com/people/alexandria-ocasio-cortez

"Early Life and Education
Born to a working-class Puerto Rican family in the Bronx, New York, Ocasio-Cortez graduated from Boston University, majoring in economics and international relations, and later worked for Senator Ted Kennedy's office where she focused on immigration issues.

After graduation, she returned home and became a community organizer. However, with the recession taking hold, along with the financial issues her family faced after her father's death in 2008 from cancer, Ocasio-Cortez took multiple low-wage restaurant jobs to help keep them afloat."

But then why let facts spoil satire?

Everything I’ve read about Cortez says she came from humble roots. So what? She wants free college which we all know isn’t free. She wants forgiveness of student loans, which she owes. Yea, another good Socialist just wanting to help the people.

In the same sense that public education K-12 is not free, "free college" would/should be free. In times past, a 12th grade education could get work to support a family; now (and in the future) more education is (will be) required. It benefits society as a whole to have qualified workers. It seems to make sense that societies would/should want to make it easier to obtain qualified workers. One possible solution would be to make it easier for members of a society to become more qualified. Another solution would be to import qualified workers from other societies. Which of these would you prefer (I'm sure there are other solutions too).

I am for two year trade schools and colleges whose administrators don’t make outlandish salaries. Half the ridiculous degrees and or courses in these colleges gain the student nothing. Both in helpful knowledge or cost basis. If you hadn’t noticed this country is drowning in debt one reason college is so high is because government student loans are so easy to get. No incentive for colleges to reduce costs.

The completion of the requirements for even "ridiculous degrees" shows an employer that a person is able to complete a long term project. And most degrees require a student to learn some kind of critical thinking.

I read somewhere that the multiplier for money spent on education is higher than that spent on "Defense".

I’ve been an employer and I’ve worked with many employers. Most of the so called requirements are never used. Keep defending a system that has skyrocketing costs and ever lower world rankings. Makes you a fool. Free college would not lower cost. Somebody pays.

I'm not sure where you get the idea that, "Most of the so called requirements are never used." That has not been my experience, nor the experience of my children.

I would rather see spending on education skyrocket than "Defense".

I'm not so sure that college education costs have skyrocketed, rather the costs have shifted in some states from the state budgets to student tuition.

This young lady has the right winger scared skinny.. and she has not been elected yet..

Already the right has started a stratagy of lies and rumors about her..

They were so successful with Lady Hillary that they feel that will be repeated as needed for this little lady..

But they forget that it took them more then 20 years of lies and h**e to keep Lady Hillary on the sidelines..

It is unlikely that they have 20 years to destroy this fine young lady..
