No. It's they embrace socialist ideologies.

Not typical at all.
And duly elected by their constituents. So obviously “socialist” doesn’t trigger them like it does right wingers. Do right wingers understand why they get triggered? It doesn’t seem so, as they still enjoy the socialist aspects of our first world society, police, schools, fire departments, roads, government, etc. Oddly government itself is a socialist phenomenon, and right wingers want these government jobs. Doh!!!!!!

That's New York for you.

Corruption has many facets, not at least of which creates internal strife.

Ousted Democratic campaign chairman slams AOC for attack on state party leadership

At least Republicans gained some in-roads admist the entrenchment. Thank you AOC.

She's incredibly insignificant and ineffective anyways. None of her bills ever passed making this a harmless inconvenience at best. Her district can fester and rot for all I care. They actually deserve each other.

All members of the "Squad" have been re-elected to Congress:

AOC, other 'Squad' members win landslide victories in 2022 elections

With Democrats managing to avert a "red wave" and outperforming expectations—even though they're expectedly en route to losing at least one chamber of Congress—the re-election of multiple high-profile progressives is a substantial victory.

I have great respect for all of the women in the "Squad," especially AOC and Ilhan Omar. This is great news.
Barf.

When government jobs aren't the "means of production",
it's not socialism. (Definitions matter here.)
However AOC could very well be a socialist because
of her expressed opposition to capitalism.
Alas, this is hard to discern because her statements
are so ditzy. Nonetheless, this is what she expresses,
& the voters in her district like it. Moreover she's a
rising star in the party. Not a good sign for liberty.

How so?



Millions disagree with you, of course, and you still haven't explained the reason for the visceral reaction to her.
AOC quote:

"we could just: pass Universal Background checks (#HR8!)...disarm domestic abusers...mandate safe storage" and "ban bump stocks, semiautos, & high cap mags designed to kill people."


She apparently doesn't know or care that banning semi autos equals taking the rights away from millions of Americans.

I'll do you one better: an increasing number of younger Americans oppose capitalism and view socialism or even communism positively:

Socialism as Popular as Capitalism Among Young Adults in U.S.

Majority of young adults in US hold negative view of capitalism: poll

Most young Americans prefer socialism to capitalism, new report finds

I'll bet that's not the "red wave" Republicans wanted, eh?

Oh, gun "rights." I fully agree with her, but I don't think her reasonable suggestion will be put into effect due to numerous factors that render it unfeasible at this time.

Oh, boy.
Fortunately age & experience often cure socialist thoughts.
Even I once entertained the idea.
(I was young. Forgive me.)
But after working both in government & private industry, I wised up.

Do you allow any possibility that a wise and experienced person can also be a socialist? We don't all have to support capitalism or share a positive outlook on it, you know.

The dubious right to slaughter children should be eradicated to whatever extent possible.

As for "Barf," have you ever considered the fact that it's your diseased politics that is making you sick?
