Actually its a sales tactic. When you want people to build urgency in their buying temperature you use we so they believe you're just like them, on their side, and a part of their struggle.
Rude Sword yea but its also important when speaking in her line of work because you’re representing a group of people usually, so you get used to saying ‘we’ instead of ‘i’ and ‘me’.
@@celinet9499 yeah I can see that. Its great that she includes people. Unfortunately that's going to work against her as she's trying to get her job done. She's done a lot of great speeches but its all surface if she can't get any laws passed. Its all for naught if she can't deliver on the legislation shes promising. Looking at her drafted legislation so far she does not have support for them. So she'll be collecting a fat salary for making good speeches, not that thats too different from most.
I KNOW RIGHT?? Like all I keep seeing is a bunch of people hating on her..I feel like she's really important for our future. I'm new to her and researching but she's already such an inspiration. She's brave going out like this and putting herself on the line for the people not for just the rich.
The problem with what she states is demanding equality of outcome. Which is a fundamentally harmful and unfair principle. Equality of opportunity, yes. But your outcome should always depend on merit.
tatiana ramos Her proposals do not make everything equal, they bring equity and equal opportunity. She does not want the government to control how much revenue you make, I don’t know why you people are suggesting this. She proposes equal tax rates so everyone pays their fair share and then prioritizes government spending into the people. I don’t know why you think this is changing the merit of Americans. She is proposing providing the American Dream for all Americans.
Cubs MLB Perfect Inning Gaming A lot of people have been brainwashed into thinking anything that the gov does to help its constituents (which ironically includes them) is communism and is automatically evil. The lack of education and or self awareness is pretty evident but they’re never gonna be ready for that convo. When they read this comment they’ll probably think we’re the ones being brainwashed, stay strong my friend there are smart people like you out there you just have to go through the Darwin awardees first.
@@arissaperez653 I'm honestly still considering it. Michelle Obamas book also inspired me a whole lot and many of my friends are already studying law. I think it enables you to change a lot of things and it's a field where you can have a career thats really passionate and meaningful. Btw if youre interested in this topic, I can highly recommend Michelle's book, she was also a lawyer who went from high class law firm to public work to politics and I found it a very good read :)
Celena Newell I’m sure in the household you come from people can’t even put sentences together so she probably sounds real smart to you but she’s a moron! This whole video was written for her clearly. Does she seem like she comes from poverty to you? 🖕😂🖕
Forget left vs right....Top vs. Bottom is the real issue. Sustainability is not leftist- it practicality vs destruction. I need to keep up, not with the Kardashians, but Ocasio-Cortez.
Yeah, what a sobering thought, and Republicans are still trying to take more without blinking an eye..no conscience at all in those people. Im to the point where I'm now I guess best word prejudice against all Republicans. 💯 intolerable !! I've watched them my whole life, im 55 and ea yr they have fallen further and further off the cliff. They're unreedeemable. We need strong leadership ,in the democratic party., not Nancy pelosi , or Chuck Schumer.. they got way too comfortable hence the word "corporate" sellouts !!!
then your opinion is stupid...you shouldnt even be able to vote until at least 25. children with zero experience can't be expected to make informed decisions...which is exactly how the democrat party stays alive...their voters outgrow their stupid and evil ideas and they have to recruit more ignorant children.
I don't think she is stupid. I don't agree with her idea that everyone should free healthcare or free university from the government. I think longterm the best solution is to have almost 100% of free-market healthcare. Longterm this will lower the cost of healthcare then what we pay in taxes through competition and accelerate innovation in healthcare. Take for example the Space exploration industry. Last 10 years the innovation in technology has finally begun to accelerate once again due to the private sector where the government is barely progressing. The goverment should only be helping the dirt poor when it comes to healthcare I don't think people should have a free university. People shouldn't just be able to be whatever they want to be. You have to earn it. Society should reward hard work and make sure that a university is a place for exceptional people not just for everyone. Our tax dollars shouldn't go to people who are just gonna fail courses.
What was considered radical in the US (at least before Bernie and AOC) is centrist in the rest of the western world, i.e. the EU and Canada. It's just two simple amendments to capitalism: 1. There is a limit of wealth that a person should be able to amass, simply because at some point it doesn't increase the quality of life anymore and is just greed for status and power. 2. While a system that rewards based on merit is well and just, there are some goods that even the "lazy" and "untalented" people deserve, i.e. Food & Water, Education, Housing and Health care and these things should be paid by taxes. Beyond that people are welcome to have their 15 houses, mega yachts and islands.
Kanalkucker No she doesn’t want to burn down Wall Street she was wants to destroy America as we know it. She wants open boarders so millions and millions of people from third world pheasant countries can poor into the country. Then if that’s not enough she thinks she’s gonna give them all FREE health care and jobs that pay a minimum of $15 per hour. She figures she can run the country full of poor uneducated Latino people and she will be their queen, that’s basically what she really thinks.
@James Franko Can you name 1 idea that isn't realistic? Before you mention price, remember that we've somehow managed to find the money to pay for SIX wars that Trump inherited. He promised to end them, but after 2.3 years in office he has ended ZERO wars. While these wars have been going on, Trump has also managed to find the 1.5 TRILLION to pay for tax cuts for the rich.
she deserves to be the first woman and hispanic president of the us. she’s exactly what this country needs and better run for 2024 she’ll be exactly 35 so NOT ONLY would she be the first woman hispanic president but she’d also be the youngest
I really don’t care if the next president is a female or Hispanic (like me). I care more about the content of the character above all. Trump might not be the nicest guy but his policies work and he keeps it real so he has my vote this election. AOC on the other hand does NOT represent me nor my values and morals. I don’t understand why people place her on a pedestal and trust me I’ve listened to her

Sulay Mesa So you actually believe this story? You don’t see the white background and the fact she’s reading? You don’t see how her story just paints her as a victim WHICH SHE ISN’T!

The average 8 year old knows what a garbage disposal is and Are certainly not afraid of it like this moron! This women is a Plant. Designed to fool morons like you Sulay 🖕
As a guy who isn’t even American, I wish she becomes president. She is so inspiring, and relatable. She has gone through so much just like tons of other families in the world. She is right on so many things, and honestly deserves to be the president.
millennials and gen z are the most powerful voting group, we want our voices to be heard, and judging from the recent elections, it seems that we have the capacity to. i just hope the voices will speak for the right candidate. Bernie/AOC 2024
@@user-by7hj4dj9s well there's no hope for bernie now, because he's too old at this point, but his policies can easily win an election. trump was scared of him, left news stations wouldn't show him, even when he was leading in polls.
i want aoc to be president at some point for sure! she’s literally inspiring me sooooo much to get more into politics and general issues within our country, so much so that i’m considering studying law when i’m older. i’m saying this about how much i love her because i want to clarify my next statement. aoc becoming president in 2024 is not likely whatsoever. it’s so amazing and important that she is so progressive, but even with millennials/gen z being able to vote next election, we cannot outnumber those who see her as a “radical leftist”. it’s a matter of slowly getting our society to become more progressive, versus throwing in one of the most progressive leaders right away. this is so clear because biden (who is truly centrist and moderate) was arguably “too radical” for office. to assume that we could transform this mindset of americans within the next four years, is simply naïve. i think our best bet for 2024 is andrew yang! but again, i would LOVE to have aoc in office, but that doesn’t seem like a realistic goal until around 2028 and later. :)
@@_ikako_ I agree. He’s too old. We need a young president who knows how to run a nation. And I think if AOC runs for president, I think a lot of people would vote for her because she’s a young politician. 2024 would be the first election year I could (and I will) vote
Hands down one of the realest people we have to represent us as a people!! I'd love to have a genuine conversation with someone who's "been through it" and has a voice
Jeremiah Now you name one thing she’s done other than run her mouth for 8 months. You can’t because she’s done Zilch! Hate to make you look stupid but I just did fucktard! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!😂
Someone speaking normal human language, prioritizing the values which make a strong nation: education, unity, healthcare, speaking constructively. What a breath of fresh air. How can we elect more people like her?
Crzy as this sounds but she makes me want to go run for office when I’m older enough. Not only she’s a strong women with an absolutely amazing personality but she cares about what is going on in everyday and life on streets. What is happening and what to do to help others to provide them a better living. I stand with her and hope she runs for president it would really be amazing because I know she can make the world and provide us a better place, than our recent presidential.
andreinla where is the money for all these programs going to come from? Money doesn't grow on trees. There's not that much money at the top to pay for everything.
She is an amazing woman and an excellent human being. I'm a man and I admire her for what she stands for, I believe that it is time for a woman (women) to run our country. I believe in women to be more fair and loyal to the needs of people.
Ackj 375718 yeah I don’t know. You just made low unemployment rates sound bad. Also what’s wrong with everyone having two jobs? Won’t that help the economy?
As a European watching this in 2020 I am in awe how this woman is not your next president! After the covid19 Healthcare failure of yours, I wonder how there can still be Americans that don't understand the importance of a Healthcare system for all people. You shot yourself on the foot by not caringfor yourpeople. Not having Healthcare insurance system and actually only supporting the privileged . She might be your way to something new and truly great.
Working class people in America don’t matter. In our capitalist society, the value of life is determined by how much money you have to influence others, which is how a lot of legislation is influenced. It’s incredibly disheartening and frustrating.
I'm German, I have public health care and public schools are free here. I love what you stand for and would def. vote for you! Love you and am looking forward to all the great things you will do!
How can a conscious adult human being listen to AOC and do anything but admire her for her intellect and her humanism. It is what motivates us that defines us. Seeking a healthier society is perhaps the most admirable goal. That's what AOC is about. Finally we are hearing people not afraid to call it like it is.We need a congress with a lot of AOC's in it to see at last fair legislation devoid of discrimination against the working class. Love AOC.
@@lorenamendez7313 Without plans like her plans the government is going down....the drain. For things to be equitable, our government cannot continue to ignore the will of 70+% of the people on issues like HEALTHCARE, NUCLEAR ARMAMENTS, EMPIRE, AND CLIMATE CHANGE. Public health cannot be guaranteed without Medicare type government support for ALL.
@James Franko I'm sure you can back up this claim by pointing to the part of her interview here where she says she hates riches. Just give us the numbers and we can look for ourselves. Because I never heard that. And if you had been listening instead of closing your ears and only going along with the anti-AOC propaganda you've exposed yourself to, you would never make such a ridiculous statement about her either. No one needs a billion dollars. Or $100 billion. A billion is a _thousand_ million. No one needs a tenth of that. They can afford to pay higher taxes, and they'll still be rich. The government will have enough money from those taxes that we can take care of our vast country. It can't run on air. Or perhaps you want to manage things like His Hideousness is managing the White House: by turning everything into a chaotic mess. Lovely.
Love her too. It’s only the ultra rich that are afraid they will lose some unnecessary gold from their coffers. And the ignorant that believe their lies. From the first time I’ve seen AOC I’ve be well lol...smitten with her intelligence, her beliefs. Her SANITY. Her decency. I hope she stays safe until she’s old enough to run for President. I’m scared for her tbh
Michelle Meyer really? She makes me sick to my stomach....I mean have you read "The Green New Deal"? It is literally insane! No cars, no planes, no fossil fuel...she really can become dangerous if there are others like you who do not know that her agenda would destroy America as we know it today. Do some reading other than left wing propaganda --thanks

Sour She never claimed to be hood. She said a year ago she was a waitress and impoverished. Also work on your writing you sound almost as terrible as Trump does.
@Chuck Taylor in ideal circumstances your income predictor is based on your education. People who chose a profession based on what they love to do make the terrible mistake of not choosing what is in demand. Emotion over reason often causes poverty in capitalist societies such as America. I've met lots of backward people who simply do not believe in education. That mentality kept them poor. Ocasio does not even meet the age requirements for presidency. If she ever becomes president, just know today that individual choice contributes a lot to poverty and there is nothing a president now or in the future can do about it.
Ya that’s why her new office cost $17,000 a month, she now lives in a super high end apt complex, she takes Uber two blocks, she flies when she could take the train, she drinks Starbucks and has a iPhone yet claims to hate billion dollar industries. She claims to come from poverty yet has perfect hair skin and teeth. She wears all high end cloths I could go on and on yet Morons like you fall for her. 🖕😂🖕

we need more elected congressmen to promise they will sign the pledge to reject corporate pac money, before winning their primaries. ultimately, they must go into congress to find methods to undo the disaster caused by the Citizens United decision in the supreme court. we must return our republic to the people, and elected congressmen must again be held accountable and serve their constituencies; not themselves, and their wealthy donors

Commercial Art Services so people are a corporation? Because that’s how she gets her funds, from regular people. Corporate democracy means they’re beholden to big corporations who fund their campaigns. So in essence, she’s literally NOT a corporate democrat. Have a nice day
And down goes democrat chances in an election. Don't get me wrong, it's great to get get money out of the political system and that will be a very strong winner for them. But going further left and embracing the idealogy of progressivism as it stands today is a big loser. Yea they will probably win over the democratic party, but it won't translate in elections against republicans. It is the one thing (besides say Hillary running for president again) that will guarantee another win for Trump and very little success in 2018. The ideology is being rejected in europe too, just look at recent elections, people don't want it. It's obviously speculation on my part, but I view it as a BIG mistake.
Michael V. Antonio Commercial Art Services Do you have any proof that Ocasio-Cortez is a "corporate democrat" with a different strategy or did you just pull that out of your dilated sphincter?

Everything about this young woman seems exceptional but we're all dying to hear your thoughts on "regular" Latinas from Queens.
We need people like her, someone who knows the struggles every day working class Americans go through. We need someone who sympathizes with our struggles and what it means to be the lowest of the low in a nation with a corrupt administration that only benefits the super rich.
I want you to look at this woman. She is a person whose soul is close to the surface. You can see and hear her integrity coming through as she speaks. She will do great things, because she is called to do them.
She is a person whose stupidity is close to the surface. There, fixed it for you. I can't remember who it was that said ''Socialism is great until you run out of other people's money."

Trianon Alex You are actually dumb enough to think this is her just talking. It’s a story written for her. Every aspect of it is designed for morons like you to fall for it. She was a little kid when this supposed financial crisis was happening. Her father was fairly well to do. She went to a good high school and collage and lived in a good neighborhood. Does she look like she’s ever hurt for anything in her life. Her Green new deal was voted no even by the left. Only a moron would believe this story. Look at the white background. Listen to her she’s reading.

THAT is why she's so inspiring to everyone else. She's young, Latina, her family isn't well connected, and she managed to beat one of the STRONGEST democrats in the House, despite being outspent 11-1.
@James Franko I agree that it's not very likely that we will make renewable energy our primary source of energy in 10 years. But it comes down to 1 simple thing: You either believe science or you don't. When 97% of scientists agree that we have 12 years to avoid the worst of the environmental disasters from Climate Change, then we have no choice but to TRY. But we can't do that when the current administration is declaring that WIND is the enemy.
Chuck Taylor I mean capitalism only really works if you convince enough people that if you work harder you get a good life. And if you can convince them that their fellow Americans dont matter.
Chuck Taylor because U.S. practices capitalism, many people suffer from it and have to work really hard for little pay. In your apple pie eating America, people have more money going out than coming in but you don’t see that in Socialist countries with higher wages and free healthcare!
Chuck Taylor Venezuela failed not because of some social platforms but because their dictator refused to make the economy not rely only on oil. Then in 2014 oil demand lowered because america started fracking and didn’t need as much oil and the Venezuelan currency experienced hyperinflation because they couldn’t sell as much oil and their economy was suffering.
@NPC #147854293 Yet they pay for my teacher. When I'm laid off because political policies send my job to China, they are supposed to pay for my doctor. Because they're the reason I can't pay for insurance to go to one. Lucky you if you won out, but most people didn't. Most people have no opportunity as a birthright.
@NPC #147854293 Public schooling is the norm. Teachers are paid via tax money. And no, they don't. They're sold the IDEA of opportunity, with little means to achieve it. Every last industry is owned by huge multinational corporations. We're sold competetiveness but only the most privileged are allowed to compete. Look at every CEO. Every billionaire. Their family was already rich and passed it on.
Politics isn't careerism. I'm happy for her of course but I'm not really happy for her as much as I am happy for the people of her district. We are talking about representative democracy and b cause she doesn't take corporate pack money or lobbiest money, she is able to accurately and fiercely represent the people who are entirely responsible for getting her in office.
Scott Covert if spending her life in politics casuses her to end up as another corporate backed, borderline republican neo liberal like a lot of other old guard Democrats then yeah she should stop before the money and power goes to her head but as of now I like her
Agreed. Most of these people in power, I can’t relate to. This young lady is someone that I can actually relate to even though I’m black and she is Puerto Rican. Politicians and millionaires are out of touch sometimes
Hancockst1 you don’t really have to worry, because the point of her swearing off corporate pac money and large donations is that it keeps her accountable and that she will serve the people
She lived the pain the system delivers. She wont forget. She will mature and start playing the percentages the longer she is in office like everyone does, but i cannot see her forgetting the fight as she grew up.
@James Franko She talks a lot about the economy and one of her goals is to make sure that every american has a living wage. Trickle down economy is a scam. That's beside the point though. I was asking our friend up top if he was ok because he seems upset and maybe confused.
@James Franko it's not delusional. Ideas like universal basic income mean that instead of working 2 jobs and barely making ends meet you can work one, or go to school and study something you're passionate about. Right now people in the US are slaves of the ultra rich. The accumulation of wealth is out of control and you think her economics are trash? In Canada, they pay half what US residents do for college. In some countries they don't even have to pay for school. Of course their taxes are higher, but it means that everyone is able to do what they want.

Alexandria is 100% when it come to how our monetary and economic policy works. When somebody says *"how are we going to pay for it?"* We pay for it the same way the congress paid for the $700-billion defense authorization program---congress VOTED that economic policy/funds into existence--and without raising a single dime in *federal taxes.* Article One, Section Eight of the U.S. constitution mandates that Congress *mint* (create funds) and tax to provide for the general welfare of society. I'm amazed at how many people do not understand how our monetary system works. Once an economic spending bill law is passed by congress, the Federal Reserve is then ordered by that *decree* to create the funds to pay for that program. It is the U.S. congress that has the power to vote for policy and the funds to pay for it. You've never heard that we need to increase federal taxes in order fund our *military budget* The lesson here is to vote in members of congress, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who are going to pass policy programs, like *Single Payer Medicare-for-All* or a *Federal Job Guarantee program,* and not just spending programs on our military only.
I feel like maybe these issues are kind of complicated. Maybe monetary policy is related to exchange rates and can impact the US bond markets as well as the real values of outstanding debts? Maybe this isn't important.
Pacific Wonderland No, a considerable amount more is spent on SS or government health programs than military. www.nationalpriorities.org/budget-basics/federal-budget-101/spending/ Also, Congress simply “creating” money is bad, no matter how it’s spent. That just increases our national debt.
AOC is going to be the peoples brand name, she has clarity of thinking, she is articulate, she is beautiful and I wish her every success to become the peoples darling. AOC, please stick to your principles however high you are catapulted in society and life in the future. Take care, Love everything you stand for.
Literally the most idiotic person in politics right now. She only got voted in because she’s a democrat, she’s brown, and she’s socialist. Remember all those times socialism hasn’t worked? Every time, that is. Every socialist claims to be “for the middle class” but ends up a power-crazed dictator by the end of it, with their country in ruins, and the working class that they claimed to be for in shambles.
@@CoralRief43 If you think that most of (or any) of Europe is socialist, it looks like you're the one who hasn't taken an economics class (a good one anyway) While it's true that some European countries have policies that could be interpreted as socialist, they are all yet to become actual socialist countries. Also, note that I said all socialists *end up* as colossal failures. Thankfully, it seems the world is beginning to go through some huge changes, with power beginning to shift to conservatives thanks to massive conservative/right wing movements of people who have woken up to the massively flawed ideology of leftism, in places like Brazil, France, Australia, the UK, and America. Not to mention already conservative countries like Japan and Austria.

@@maddieb7881 I like all those things, but none of them are quite accomplishments, yet. My favorite action of hers was refusing to join the DNC's $ for committees system in the House.

@@nmarbletoe8210 - She killed the Amazon deal in NY. Her constituency saw their rents rising and saw what happened to Seattle and didn't want it to happen in NY. In fact, Amazon was being provided $3 billion in tax breaks and tax credits, which would've been funded by taxpayers who wouldn't benefit from the development but would see mom & pop shops and small entrepreneurial businesses close down. AOC took on the juggernaut and was able to prevent a catastrophe. She's also caught Wilbur Ross in a lie over immigration citizenship census in which he engineered certain details without congressional approval. She got him to perjure himself. She's excellent at cross-examining actors or witnesses during testimonial hearings. Also, keep in mind she's only been there a year and she's done a lot more than most people have done in their 5 years in Congress. That's bc she doesn't spend her days calling up donors for upcoming elections, she's actually doing the job that our tax dollars pay her to do.
And you know what else she did, as a veteran, I have witnessed firsthand the price gouging of these companies that sell our military essential items at many times their value. She made them pay back our government and put a spotlight on all the other self-serving riff raff out there that profit unfairly off of those who serve!!
@monokhem " The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result" ( Albert Einstein) Voting for these career politician and millionaire lawyers is not working the poor and the middle class keep getting poorer and the wealthy keep getting richer. 100 people have more wealth than 100 million Americans. That is why we need regular people in the government because they know the problems of regular people. Why vote against my own interests that is stupid.
Alexandria has a drive to achieve her goals that everyone wishes they had as well. She is now the shining example of how a candidate can win a race with a grassroots campaign.
Paul Adonia I would vote for her and I am black and I would tell all my black friends and white friends to vote for her I would not vote for Herman Cain, Ben Carson. They are black as me and I would never ever vote for them over a Bernie Sanders or this lady
Being nice to people doesn't cost anything ... especially immigrants. I hope that when you flee to Canada, you will show some gratitude to your new home.
Fiomena Alf, you know that half the current Military Budget would solve virtually ALL of America's social problems if it were used to help people, rather than be wasted on men and equipment which are, both, entirely redundant, right?
It might be better for society if people stopped labeling themselves and evaluate each candidate on what they propose to do and how to do it. Like how does an orange monster plan to get México to pay 26 billion for a wall? Oh that’s right dumbass Americans are paying for it.
Universal free healthcare will never work in a country like the US. Also do you realize that just because it says "free" it does not mean it is free. You are gonna need to pay much more taxes and especially the rich if these democrats get anything through. The rich are the ones that hire you and most of the people in this country, and think for a second what might happen if their salary is cut? They will most likely cut everybody's salary including yours. So almost everyone will be more poor and everyone will suffer from higher taxes.
+Cheesmo this goes back to what she said about resources already being there. Americans pay more than any other developed nation for healthcare that is only accessible to the rich. You’re paying for For-profit insurance and unregulated hospital costs, and in turn have the highest infant mortality rate in the western world. I’m a Canadian (millennial) making 80k per year, which is about 30k more than the average. I still only pay 30% income tax. I lived in Germany, where insurance is privatized but heavily regulated, and only 10% of my income (the standard rate regardless of income) went towards my insurance. It is really not expensive to have fair healthcare. It’s a lie that’s fed to people and keeps the poor repressed and sick.
+Jim Davis is access to life-saving treatment dependent on a college degree? We live in some of the richest nations in the world, healthcare is a right. It’s also a matter of public health. Not to mention fair access to free/affordable women’s health clinics being an economic issue. I happily pay taxes, and would pay more if it meant fair access to healthcare for those who weren’t afforded the same privileges that I was. Also, isn’t your unemployment rate incredibly low in the US? The number of uninsured far outnumbered the unemployed. Saying one person deserves to be bankrupted by a cancer diagnosis because they don’t have a 4-year degree is deplorable, and goes right back to my original statement: for-profit healthcare is an institution that keeps the poor repressed.
Problem is, that countries that have public healthcare, have the concept embedded in government budgets, taxes, specific regulation, pension fund agreements, and ... the most far from American reality and hardest to grasp: state owned resources and government employees. Obama didn't make one single step towards making it viable for a long term, and Trump took it to a complete other way. So, doesn't look like it's gonna happen.
Great for regular folks. People often forget that the middle class and the poor make up the majority of people in this country. When Trump said he wanted to "make America great again" he meant for the wealthy. Most people like to help themselves and their friends, that's part of life. When all your friends are wealthy who benefits? You and they do. I think it's sad that we, as the middle class, are not represented better in our own government. Women like AOC and Katie Porter are what we need more of. Regular, every day, Americans.
@@tyrrany_reigns1 agree 1000%. we need more regular Americans representing regular Americans. we need more representatives who are not career politicians - doctors, teachers, EMS, small business owners, manual laborers. it's the only possible way to preserve the interests of most Americans in the country.
Totally agree. Living in the richest nation where the middle class starts at a $40,000 annual wage is outrageous! People work two jobs and can't have a decent life. Future generations need substantial wages to live in USA. There is no shortage of money! Look at how how much money stimulus packages included and how the wealthy were the priority.
Correction: she wants to make America great. Period. Trump's famous phrase encapsulates what he uses to attract his target audience: taking America back to the time when they were on top. America was NEVER great, and I stand by that.
on uk terms im a centrist (mostly because i DESPISE the main two parties) but in american terms im probably a socialist fjfjfj like i agree with her so much
Gabriel Taylor Yeah, in America, our country thinks everything is so far left when in reality, we are just much further right (conservative) than other countries.
I absolutely hate it here in America, everyone be calling these politics "Radical" but in some European countries this might even be considered conservative lol
She's not even that much of a socialist, though. She's a Democratic Socialist and she's implied in interviews that her interpretation of Democratic Socialism puts her in between Capitalism and Socialism. Actually, I think she's even said a Democratic Socialist can also be a Capitalist, but that's rare
Beautifull woman, intelligent and strong, which is an eloquent speaker and feels real. Would love to see such a person in the Europe. Not corrupted by a corporation.
30 seconds in and she has perfectly described why the US of A democracy has become a plutocracy / oligarchy. I will be curious to see how the lobbies will try to handle her, and what I hope is a true movement that would see true common folk and common preoccupation occupying again the center stage of USA's politics
she means really well, but her policies dont help thats why. Sure there are some less smart people on my side who just hate her for her personality and stuff like that, but generally we disagree with the practicality or helpfullness of her policies, not really her person.
She’s absolutely right there was a time when America was great because of those systems were in place back in the day. My grandparents lived an awesome life because of it. Now I look at the future with uncertainty. We need more people like her. Good for her!
Your grand parents lived an awesome life because they didn't depend on the government to give them anything. They WORKED FOR EVERYTHING THEY GOT. THEY SAVED THEIR MONEY AND PAYED CASH FOR WHAT THEY WANTED. IF THEY COULDN'T AFFORD IT THEY DIDN'T GET IT. And you think making the government larger and taking more of the earners money to give to the ones who don't work is a good solution? Go read your history and see what the government provided for your grandparents.
My grandparents raised 3 children and had a home bought and paid for. My grandfather was the only one with the income, and he managed to give a large number of his family members when he passed sizable bonds, me being one of them. He worked in a post office. Times were MUCH different then indeed.

Lmao for real, people rlly be like “stop politicizing everything”...All I said was poor people shouldn’t starve dude lol
The problem with what she states is demanding equality of outcome. Which is a fundamentally harmful and unfair principle. Equality of opportunity, yes. But your outcome should always depend on merit.
tatiana ramos
Her proposals do not make everything equal, they bring equity and equal opportunity. She does not want the government to control how much revenue you make, I don’t know why you people are suggesting this. She proposes equal tax rates so everyone pays their fair share and then prioritizes government spending into the people. I don’t know why you think this is changing the merit of Americans. She is proposing providing the American Dream for all Americans.

Queen Elizabeth The II She literally has an asteroid named after her by nasa for placing second in a New York science and engineering competition
Misogyny that’s how
I don't think she is stupid. I don't agree with her idea that everyone should free healthcare or free university from the government. I think longterm the best solution is to have almost 100% of free-market healthcare. Longterm this will lower the cost of healthcare then what we pay in taxes through competition and accelerate innovation in healthcare. Take for example the Space exploration industry. Last 10 years the innovation in technology has finally begun to accelerate once again due to the private sector where the government is barely progressing. The goverment should only be helping the dirt poor when it comes to healthcare
I don't think people should have a free university. People shouldn't just be able to be whatever they want to be. You have to earn it. Society should reward hard work and make sure that a university is a place for exceptional people not just for everyone. Our tax dollars shouldn't go to people who are just gonna fail courses.
I like that she doesn't seem to radical if you think twice. Those things are just reasonable, she doesn't want to burn down Wall street or something
What was considered radical in the US (at least before Bernie and AOC) is centrist in the rest of the western world, i.e. the EU and Canada. It's just two simple amendments to capitalism:
1. There is a limit of wealth that a person should be able to amass, simply because at some point it doesn't increase the quality of life anymore and is just greed for status and power.
2. While a system that rewards based on merit is well and just, there are some goods that even the "lazy" and "untalented" people deserve, i.e. Food & Water, Education, Housing and Health care and these things should be paid by taxes.
Beyond that people are welcome to have their 15 houses, mega yachts and islands.
@@OhZordan well said
Kanalkucker No she doesn’t want to burn down Wall Street she was wants to destroy America as we know it. She wants open boarders so millions and millions of people from third world pheasant countries can poor into the country. Then if that’s not enough she thinks she’s gonna give them all FREE health care and jobs that pay a minimum of $15 per hour. She figures she can run the country full of poor uneducated Latino people and she will be their queen, that’s basically what she really thinks.
@James Franko Can you name 1 idea that isn't realistic? Before you mention price, remember that we've somehow managed to find the money to pay for SIX wars that Trump inherited. He promised to end them, but after 2.3 years in office he has ended ZERO wars.
While these wars have been going on, Trump has also managed to find the 1.5 TRILLION to pay for tax cuts for the rich.
James Franko please elaborate.
she deserves to be the first woman and hispanic president of the us. she’s exactly what this country needs and better run for 2024 she’ll be exactly 35 so NOT ONLY would she be the first woman hispanic president but she’d also be the youngest

I really don’t care if the next president is a female or Hispanic (like me). I care more about the content of the character above all.

Commercial Art Services so people are a corporation? Because that’s how she gets her funds, from regular people. Corporate democracy means they’re beholden to big corporations who fund their campaigns. So in essence, she’s literally NOT a corporate democrat. Have a nice day

And down goes democrat chances in an election. Don't get me wrong, it's great to get get money out of the political system and that will be a very strong winner for them. But going further left and embracing the idealogy of progressivism as it stands today is a big loser. Yea they will probably win over the democratic party, but it won't translate in elections against republicans. It is the one thing (besides say Hillary running for president again) that will guarantee another win for Trump and very little success in 2018. The ideology is being rejected in europe too, just look at recent elections, people don't want it. It's obviously speculation on my part, but I view it as a BIG mistake.

@James Franko I agree that it's not very likely that we will make renewable energy our primary source of energy in 10 years.
But it comes down to 1 simple thing: You either believe science or you don't. When 97% of scientists agree that we have 12 years to avoid the worst of the environmental disasters from Climate Change, then we have no choice but to TRY. But we can't do that when the current administration is declaring that WIND is the enemy.

Venezuela failed not because of some social platforms but because their dictator refused to make the economy not rely only on oil.

@James Franko it's not delusional.

Alexandria for president 👏👌👌👌
okay. she's got my attention. i think she's worth my time. i actually find myself listening to every word she says.. so refreshing
Go Alexandria, America needs you !
Alexandria is 100% when it come to how our monetary and economic policy works. When somebody says *"how are we going to pay for it?"* We pay for it the same way the congress paid for the $700-billion defense authorization program---congress VOTED that economic policy/funds into existence--and without raising a single dime in *federal taxes.*
Article One, Section Eight of the U.S. constitution mandates that Congress *mint* (create funds) and tax to provide for the general welfare of society.
I'm amazed at how many people do not understand how our monetary system works. Once an economic spending bill law is passed by congress, the Federal Reserve is then ordered by that *decree* to create the funds to pay for that program. It is the U.S. congress that has the power to vote for policy and the funds to pay for it.
You've never heard that we need to increase federal taxes in order fund our *military budget* The lesson here is to vote in members of congress, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who are going to pass policy programs, like *Single Payer Medicare-for-All* or a *Federal Job Guarantee program,* and not just spending programs on our military only.
She also wants open borders...NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like maybe these issues are kind of complicated. Maybe monetary policy is related to exchange rates and can impact the US bond markets as well as the real values of outstanding debts? Maybe this isn't important.
Military budget: 16%, including veterans healthcare. Social Programs(Medicaid, Social Security): about %60 and failing in 10 years.
Dylan Vitt ....actually 60% on military budget and 12% on medicaid and SS..
Pacific Wonderland
No, a considerable amount more is spent on SS or government health programs than military.
www.nationalpriorities.org/budget-basics/federal-budget-101/spending/
Also, Congress simply “creating” money is bad, no matter how it’s spent. That just increases our national debt.
AOC is going to be the peoples brand name, she has clarity of thinking, she is articulate, she is beautiful and I wish her every success to become the peoples darling. AOC, please stick to your principles however high you are catapulted in society and life in the future. Take care, Love everything you stand for.

Also, note that I said all socialists *end up* as colossal failures.

@@nmarbletoe8210 - She killed the Amazon deal in NY. Her constituency saw their rents rising and saw what happened to Seattle and didn't want it to happen in NY. In fact, Amazon was being provided $3 billion in tax breaks and tax credits, which would've been funded by taxpayers who wouldn't benefit from the development but would see mom & pop shops and small entrepreneurial businesses close down. AOC took on the juggernaut and was able to prevent a catastrophe. She's also caught Wilbur Ross in a lie over immigration citizenship census in which he engineered certain details without congressional approval. She got him to perjure himself. She's excellent at cross-examining actors or witnesses during testimonial hearings. Also, keep in mind she's only been there a year and she's done a lot more than most people have done in their 5 years in Congress. That's bc she doesn't spend her days calling up donors for upcoming elections, she's actually doing the job that our tax dollars pay her to do.
And you know what else she did, as a veteran, I have witnessed firsthand the price gouging of these companies that sell our military essential items at many times their value.

Fiomena Alf, you know that half the current Military Budget would solve virtually ALL of America's social problems if it were used to help people, rather than be wasted on men and equipment which are, both, entirely redundant, right?
It might be better for society if people stopped labeling themselves and evaluate each candidate on what they propose to do and how to do it. Like how does an orange monster plan to get México to pay 26 billion for a wall? Oh that’s right dumbass Americans are paying for it.
Wow everybody in the United States should listen to this and wake up,open their eyes and see the reality of things,the injustice of society.
Wake up Americans we should have the same healthcare as congress and the president..
Universal free healthcare will never work in a country like the US. Also do you realize that just because it says "free" it does not mean it is free. You are gonna need to pay much more taxes and especially the rich if these democrats get anything through. The rich are the ones that hire you and most of the people in this country, and think for a second what might happen if their salary is cut? They will most likely cut everybody's salary including yours. So almost everyone will be more poor and everyone will suffer from higher taxes.
+Cheesmo this goes back to what she said about resources already being there. Americans pay more than any other developed nation for healthcare that is only accessible to the rich. You’re paying for For-profit insurance and unregulated hospital costs, and in turn have the highest infant mortality rate in the western world.
I’m a Canadian (millennial) making 80k per year, which is about 30k more than the average. I still only pay 30% income tax.
I lived in Germany, where insurance is privatized but heavily regulated, and only 10% of my income (the standard rate regardless of income) went towards my insurance.
It is really not expensive to have fair healthcare. It’s a lie that’s fed to people and keeps the poor repressed and sick.
+Jim Davis is access to life-saving treatment dependent on a college degree? We live in some of the richest nations in the world, healthcare is a right. It’s also a matter of public health. Not to mention fair access to free/affordable women’s health clinics being an economic issue.
I happily pay taxes, and would pay more if it meant fair access to healthcare for those who weren’t afforded the same privileges that I was.
Also, isn’t your unemployment rate incredibly low in the US? The number of uninsured far outnumbered the unemployed.
Saying one person deserves to be bankrupted by a cancer diagnosis because they don’t have a 4-year degree is deplorable, and goes right back to my original statement: for-profit healthcare is an institution that keeps the poor repressed.
Problem is, that countries that have public healthcare, have the concept embedded in government budgets, taxes, specific regulation, pension fund agreements, and ... the most far from American reality and hardest to grasp: state owned resources and government employees.
Obama didn't make one single step towards making it viable for a long term, and Trump took it to a complete other way.
So, doesn't look like it's gonna happen.

Great for regular folks. People often forget that the middle class and the poor make up the majority of people in this country. When Trump said he wanted to "make America great again" he meant for the wealthy. Most people like to help themselves and their friends, that's part of life. When all your friends are wealthy who benefits? You and they do. I think it's sad that we, as the middle class, are not represented better in our own government. Women like AOC and Katie Porter are what we need more of. Regular, every day, Americans.
@@tyrrany_reigns1 agree 1000%. we need more regular Americans representing regular Americans. we need more representatives who are not career politicians - doctors, teachers, EMS, small business owners, manual laborers. it's the only possible way to preserve the interests of most Americans in the country.
Totally agree. Living in the richest nation where the middle class starts at a $40,000 annual wage is outrageous! People work two jobs and can't have a decent life. Future generations need substantial wages to live in USA. There is no shortage of money! Look at how how much money stimulus packages included and how the wealthy were the priority.
Correction: she wants to make America great. Period. Trump's famous phrase encapsulates what he uses to attract his target audience: taking America back to the time when they were on top. America was NEVER great, and I stand by that.
on uk terms im a centrist (mostly because i DESPISE the main two parties) but in american terms im probably a socialist fjfjfj like i agree with her so much
Gabriel Taylor Yeah, in America, our country thinks everything is so far left when in reality, we are just much further right (conservative) than other countries.
Gavin yk what... you’re right. i’ve never thought about it like that.
I absolutely hate it here in America, everyone be calling these politics "Radical" but in some European countries this might even be considered conservative lol
@@gemmamoon5998 I mean we do, but it's really small
She's not even that much of a socialist, though. She's a Democratic Socialist and she's implied in interviews that her interpretation of Democratic Socialism puts her in between Capitalism and Socialism.
Actually, I think she's even said a Democratic Socialist can also be a Capitalist, but that's rare
Beautifull woman, intelligent and strong, which is an eloquent speaker and feels real. Would love to see such a person in the Europe. Not corrupted by a corporation.
30 seconds in and she has perfectly described why the US of A democracy has become a plutocracy / oligarchy.
I will be curious to see how the lobbies will try to handle her, and what I hope is a true movement that would see true common folk and common preoccupation occupying again the center stage of USA's politics
Can’t believe they’re people who don’t like this woman.
she means really well, but her policies dont help thats why. Sure there are some less smart people on my side who just hate her for her personality and stuff like that, but generally we disagree with the practicality or helpfullness of her policies, not really her person.
She’s absolutely right there was a time when America was great because of those systems were in place back in the day. My grandparents lived an awesome life because of it. Now I look at the future with uncertainty. We need more people like her. Good for her!
Your grand parents lived an awesome life because they didn't depend on the government to give them anything. They WORKED FOR EVERYTHING THEY GOT. THEY SAVED THEIR MONEY AND PAYED CASH FOR WHAT THEY WANTED. IF THEY COULDN'T AFFORD IT THEY DIDN'T GET IT. And you think making the government larger and taking more of the earners money to give to the ones who don't work is a good solution? Go read your history and see what the government provided for your grandparents.
Donovan Maldonado America never had the kind of socialism she wants to put in. Socialism doesn’t work, idk when people will realize that. It never has
My grandparents raised 3 children and had a home bought and paid for. My grandfather was the only one with the income, and he managed to give a large number of his family members when he passed sizable bonds, me being one of them. He worked in a post office. Times were MUCH different then indeed.
@@CurrentlySpinning she speaks actual facts to a little research regarding taxation around sixties and 70s you will see that America was extremely different then. This was a time of economic boom. I would stop listening to tribal chants break away and become your own person and do your own research. Thanks!
@@dennisw47150 if you want to talk about history drop the Fox News talking points. Then we can have a sensible logical conversation. Thanks!
Omg i love her. Keeping my eye on her. You are the fresh air this country needs.
Mattmannish, can you even use Google? Or, are you too stupid?
Amen! We need more Congressional representatives like AOC!
Actually she’s just what we don’t need, another lying politician.
You need more Prozac, it's not working
@@thelastrebelshow1627 Can you name how she's lied?
@@thelastrebelshow1627 ok so who isn’t a lying politician, and if she become president that would be great, a Latina, working class, authentic, know what the people need, female
@@_.v.alentina.a I’m gonna let you slide because I can tell by your avatar you’re very young but I will say let’s pretend AOC could be President, there’s no way she’s qualified now so maybe in about Ten years but truthfully I doubt it.
i know she said she's not interested in running for president but please? you're what america desperately needs.
YES it’s not about left or right, it’s about top vs. bottom!! Its about whoever has integrity!! I voted for you Alexandria.. & fellow grassroots progressive campaigner Kenneth Mejia ✌️✅
It's about dividing the pie. It's not about baking pies anymore.
i feel ashamed to live in the same district as you, then.
Be wary of scaring people into marxism
All I can say is Alexandria gives me Hope
John Wright bro ive seen you on like 10+ comments, you got a life other than “rebutting” year old comments??
what an actual legend 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@John Wright
You = 🤡
I LOVE HER!! so much... I am a Canadian but rooting for her because she is so inspiring... America has a huge world influence and voices like hers are really needed in our world right now...
This is how we move forward. Whether you agree with her views or not, she is concentrating on policy and issues that affect working families. Thats the focus candidates across the spectrum will have to hold if they want to be taken seriously from now on.
like bernie talk only after than nothing
I am now a progressive democrat. Ms. Cortez you have my vote support for as long as we both live. Thank you.
@Chris Nguyen Classy.
@Chris Nguyen Could you not come up with anything more intelligent to say? Does she say things that are too intellectual for you to understand? So sad.
@Chris Nguyen LMAO OKAY🤦♀️🤦♀️
A glimmer of hope. Much success to you in November.
She kind of reminds me of Jacinda Ardern. Both are strong, intelligent, passionate, reasonable and beautiful women.
An American heroine!! 💙💙
Lots of love from California! ♡
You have Shahid Butar in California running against Pelosi. He has the same vision, same policies as AOC. Throw Pelosi to the curb.
I love her!! She is what this planet needs, I love the green new deal!! 🌱
Then you are alone. It was voted NO hands down by everyone 😂
@@thelastrebelshow1627 Stop toting this lie. The democrats in the Senate abstained from voting for or against the Green New Deal because IT'S NOT POLICY.
Read. It.
It's a list of complaints and suggestions, it's not actual legislation. There was no actual policy to vote on. Besides voting to abstain is not "voting NO".
@Chuck Taylor they're literally just clarifying something how is that suppressing freedom of speech
She's the essence of a politician whom wants to make America a better place. A beacon of light.
She is such an icon. She inspires me everyday to do something good.
