I’m pretty sure I would pass out if I was on the floor at a Midtown concert and they played “Is it me? Is it true?” When they sing “we can build our own worlds” then go into the solo. Then the outro solo! If I had a room full of other fans. Oh man.
Reporter: Isn’t there concern that this slippery slope to socialism inevitably ends up as full-blown communism?
AOC: I mean, no. I think that’s very silly. We can’t even raise the minimum wage. Do they really think communism is going to happen? No. They’re trying to scare people because they don’t want us talking about the fact that we all have a right to health care.
So they want to call everything they don’t like communist because if people actually wake up to the fact that their elected officials are screwing them over when they get here, they’re going to realize they deserve better and that health care as a right isn’t crazy. They want to call this stuff communist because they don’t want us to realize that the rest of the developed world has guaranteed health care. They want to call it communist because they don’t want you to know that Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada—everybody else—has it better than us, and we spend the most money for the worst care in the developed world.
Socialists: Hey man, it seems like we have enough resources to make sure everyone is fed, housed, and educated.
Capitalists: YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS YOU CAN'T BUILD THINGS!
Hi, I'm the Vice President of the United States and I've got some *questions* about what REALLY goes on in this dang government of ours. Will look into it eventually.
Breathing in hefty lungfuls of smoke as I get explosive diarrhea from salad, the sky turns apocalyptic orange while oil companies drill in protected lands, screwworms are eating cattle alive and the president just paid $6 million for rape. And I’m also able to bet on all of it!
