Ocasio-Cortez Blames Low Favorability on Racism, Sexism, Fox News

Alex Griswold

New York Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Monday shared a tweet blaming her low favorability numbers in a newly released poll on bigotry and Fox News.

A Siena College poll of New York State voters found that Ocasio-Cortez's favorability is underwater, with 31 percent viewing her favorably and 44 percent viewing her unfavorably. Those results mirror national polling from Gallup and Fox News, which found that Ocasio-Cortez has a net approval rating of -10 and -13 points, respectively.

Ocasio-Cortez notably struggles even with some members of her own party, with 30 percent of New York Democrats viewing her unfavorably. Siena also found that voters are not happy with Ocasio-Cortez's opposition to the New York City-Amazon deal, which two-thirds of New Yorkers supported, according to the poll.

"More people think that Amazon, Governor Cuomo, Mayor de Blasio, the State Senate, and local Queens activists were villains in this saga than they were heroes," wrote pollster Steven Greenberg. "However, voters say the biggest villain was Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Only 12 percent call her hero, while 38 percent label her a villain."

The results garnered significant attention from reporters and media outlets, leading one Ocasio-Cortez fan to say, "It's interesting to see centrists suddenly downplay or ignore the effects of racism, sexism and Fox News targeting when discussing [her] overall approval ratings."

Right now none of the Socialist candidates could beat President Trump much less crush him.  AOC would be beaten in a landslide.  I actually think their best shot with be with Biden, but I don't think he'll run.  I'm also not sure how many would want to return to those economic conditions we were under during the BHO years.

Ocasio-Cortez Joins De Blasio In Call To Punish Asian Students
http://thefederalist.com/2019/03/20/ocasio-cortez-joins-de-blasio-call-punish-asian-students/

Quote

The biggest problem with Ocasio-Cortez and de Blasio’s position is not that it is unfair to high-achieving Asian students (it is), but that changing the admission process at elite high schools does absolutely nothing to solve the underlying problem. The real problem is that black and Latino kids are not currently achieving in ways we historically know they are capable of.

The big reason progressives do not want to talk about Asian students in this debate is that they have no explanation for why Asian students excel at the rates they do. Those of us on the right do, but they are not explanations that progressives are willing to consider.

Before looking at those, let’s establish that the idea that Asians are just genetically smarter is an absurd answer to this question that cannot possibly explain the vast gap in achievement. No, the first and foremost important factors are cultural. And that isn’t new. Fifty years ago it was Jews disproportionately filling these schools. The Asian community in New York City puts enormous value in education. This explains a lot of the disparity. This is just expected of these kids, and they value it.

More than that, Asians in New York City have a higher rate of two-parent households. This is an incredible advantage for their children academically. It fosters engagement with classwork and homework, and the ability for parents to spend more time focused on their children’s education.

This is an issue the left just refuses to admit is a problem.

AOC Is Really Mad Cocaine Mitch Called Her Bluff And Will Vote On The Green New Deal
Quote

If AOC doesn’t want her bills voted on, then she should sit down, turn off Twitter for a while, and focus on actions that can actually pass. Otherwise, it’s completely fair game to call a vote on legislation she introduced and championed. Whining that the Republicans are making Democrats stand behind her bill is just dumb. Shouldn’t voters know what their representatives do and don’t support? 

The Senate is doing the right thing by calling her bluff and holding a vote. As we approach 2020, the American people need a crystal clear view of exactly just how crazy the Democratic party has become. There was no reason to let them hide from the this.

The Green New Deal, a sweeping Democratic proposal for dealing with climate change, fell at the first hurdle Tuesday as the Senate failed to reach the 60 votes necessary to begin debate on the non-binding resolution, with 42 Democrats and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., voting "present."

No senator voted to begin debate on the legislation, while 57 lawmakers voted against breaking the filibuster. Democratic Sens. Doug Jones of Alabama, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona joined 53 Republicans in voting "no." Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, who caucuses with the Democrats, also voted "no."

So AOC thinks Repubs changed the Constitution in 1947 to prevent FDR from running again, oblivious to the fact FDR died in 1945 prior to the end of WW-II.  And she graduated cum laude from a University in Boston.  I know Universities have dropped any pretense of being institutions of higher learning, and are now big business, but are our colleges so easy now that any moron can get a degree?  Certainly appears so.  This SNAFU, plus her many others, is evidence that the old saying, Better to be quiet and thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt, is true.

Cum laude?  She would’ve never graduated from Lamar in the early 60’s.  Doubt she’d been allowed to attend.  In fairness to the University itself, there are ways a student can obtain good grades, like after hours liaisons with their professor.  And there’s a reason that she, with this impressive degree, was a waitress in a bar.  And now she’s in Congress?  Cum laude my buttocks.  More like...... Oh laude, yes professor, yes.....

AOC tells Rep. Dan Crenshaw to 'go do something' about terrorism

Quote

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s response to Republican colleague Rep. Dan Crenshaw (Texas) drew the ire of conservatives for telling the former Navy SEAL he should “go do something” about terrorism.

Crenshaw had initially commented that Omar was the “First member of Congress to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9/11 as ‘some people who did something,’” which he called “unbelievable.”

Quick to defend her friend, the New York lawmaker accused Crenshaw of taking Omar’s remarks out of context and attacked him for not co-sponsoring the 9/11 Victim’s Compensation Fund.

“You refuse to cosponsor the 9/11 Victim’s Compensation Fund, yet have the audacity to drum resentment towards Ilhan w/completely out-of-context quotes,” she said. “In 2018, right-wing extremists were behind almost ALL US domestic terrorist killings. Why don’t you go do something about that?”

As you can imagine, many on Twitter did not take kindly to AOC bashing a decorated war veteran this way:
