    Whatever she labels herself, in reality she is a social democrat, same as Sanders.

    Sanders advocates for the workers controlling the means of production so yes, a socialist.

    She's a millennial snowflake who expected a trophy every morning for just getting out of bed.

    You do realize that's a Gen X thing, right?

    Gen X grew up knowing there will be winners and losers in life.

    When did competitive sports become politically incorrect and even the losing team got a trophy ? Wasn't that in the late 1980's and 90's ?

    So not a working class Bronx girl who works tirelessly for her community and who shows up the actual entitled bums who infest America by pasting them all into the middle of last century where they all belong in a dusty Museum Of Miscreants, then?

    She sounds intelligent and can artuculate her position n the issues

    The lib educators got to her early in life and she is a confirmed marxist now

    Just as themuslims got to obama and valery jared when they were young and impressionable

    There seems to be a lot of people her age who are infected with expectations of free rides for everyone

    You been living in a bubble ?
    Old is new again.

    But I digress.

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is just another Puerto Rican nationalist Marxist.

    But then again, outgoing Democrat Joe Crowely is just a white Maxine Waters Trump hater who doesn't even live in the Congressional district he represents.

    Are these Democratic voters in the Bronx low information ?

    If they want more free stuff who do you think is going to deliver ?
    A powerful Congressman who's been in Congress for twenty years or a FNG, (cherrie) Congresswoman ?

    The white liberal Democrats created a Frankenstein.

    The reconquista socialist.

    The first thing these Hispanic socialist plan to do is purge the Democratic party of the white liberals who created them to gain complete political control of the Democratic party.

    Keep your eyes on what's been going on in California.

    "[G]uilt-riddden white liberals seem to have no sense of self preservation" - that is a good thing.

    You could be right. I don’t know the district but the Tea Party far right R candidates managed to lose some slam-dunk elections. Dingy Harry Reid benefited.

    Than anyone who even advocates for workers rights is a socialist, making more than the majority of the US, "socialists".

    She's both a social democrat and a socialist then with your definition?

    Anyone that's advocated for worker CONTROL is a socialist.
