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.
18 months. $5 trillion fucking dollars in 18 months. And we still don't have healthcare. And they gutted education. And food assistance. And food safety, and clean air, and clean water. And cut 300k federal jobs. Where the actual fuck is that new spending actually going?
The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply. pass it along and live más comrade
you have no healthcare, can't buy a house, rent is almost unaffordable, food is skyrocketing, no paid leave, no childcare. but your tax dollars will fund a foreign country with healthcare, paid leave, childcare + funding the entire lives unemployed settlers & the orthodox.
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!
I said this about AI well over a year ago. Using it to diagnose and fire people with medical conditions so they lose their insurance AND their income is somehow even more heartless and evil than I’d predicted.
I’m tired of people acting like someone’s life matters less because they weren’t an American on paper. He spent 35 years here, raised three American children, and built his life in Houston. He was an American in every way that mattered.
shitlibs will refuse to admit it till their dying breath but all these DSA wins are mostly due to gaza. like did u really think u were gonna bulldoze children for years and make us watch and never face any pushback for that
Hasan Piker: “Donald Trump literally made it illegal to be trans and an athlete in the NCAA. Did you experience any fucking material improvements in your life? No, of course you didn’t. Is that fixing the fucking gas prices? Giving Israel more money, is that going to fix your gas prices? We’ve been giving Israel $10B a fucking year. Have things gotten better in that process? Has ICE improved your lives? Elon Musk is a fucking trillionaire. Did it do anything for you that’s positive? No, of course not”
