AOC is an idiot. IMO, she has proved that to me with her own dang actions and words. It'll take an awfully lot for her to come out of idiot status.

At least she states her opinion, and then gives up on sticking to it even quicker. But still better than potential VP Harris who states what she believes and then will outright laugh about it a month or 2 later, stating she made such words due to the timing or opponent, as she said she made such racial claims about Joe Biden because "It was a debate". So either your dropped your true opinion - or you lied during the debate to take down Joe.

Ocasio-Cortez: Biden’s Fracking Position ‘Does Not Bother Me’

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former Vice President Joe Biden’s position on fracking did not bother her because she said it would be “a privilege to lobby him.”

Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Let’s turn to climate change, which is an issue of tremendous importance, especially to you. You introduced a bill earlier this year that would ban all fracking nationwide the next five years. To be completely candid, Vice President Biden’s position on the issue of fracking has been confusing. During the primary, he sounded supportive of a ban. On Saturday, he told supporters in Pennsylvania I’m not banning fracking altogether. It sounds like now he is on the other side of the issue from you. Does it bother you?”

Ocasio-Cortez said, “It does not bother me. I believe, and I have a very strong position on fracking. You know, the science is very clear, the methane emissions from fracking 60 times mow powerful at CO2 emissions and trapping heat and air and stopping climate change. There is a scientific consensus. However, that is my view. Vice President Biden has made very clear that he does not agree with the fracking ban, and I consider that, you know—it will be a privilege to lobby him should we win the White House, but we need to focus on winning the White House first. I am happy to make my case, but I understand he is in disagreement with that issue.”

I agree. She's an idiot. Sad thing is, I see her jockeying for position to replace Nasty Nan.

I honestly do not understand why we have people that are THIS stupid holding public office. It isn't like the job doesn't pay.

I said a long time back - watch out for her in 2024/2028 or whenever she's old enough. They don't care about where someone stands or what they believe in or how good a person they are, or even what they have accomplished. All they care about is popularity and can we get this person elected. And while she's a proven idiot, she's also a proven idiot with a following. For example, she's got 5 million more followers than Pelosi has.

AOC’s attitude should not surprise anyone. To people like AOC, Obama, Sanders, and the rest, the only thing that matters is that we get to Socialism. It does not matter who gets hurt, who dies, who lives in destitution. None of that matters.

Socialism is their religion, and no amount of debate will change their minds. The path to socialism is what matters and facts aren’t going to get in the way.

We are in the early stages of a war, we have two incompatible dogmas that cannot co-exist. I hope for the sake of future generations that our side wins.

She has said it all as far as I am concerned. A 5 year moritorium on fracking. Take away our energy independence from the World and put us at their mercy. I've never been much for globalist theories, but if this doesn't smack of one, I don't don't know what does.
