Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez mighty impressive on 60 Minutes

I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive.
I'm shocked, SHOCKED to find "mainstream" democrats embracing the openly socialist Ocasio-Cortez. Now that we know where you stand, comrade, how ever will you maintain your "plausible deniability" against claims that democratic policy is designed to impose a socialist regime in America???

Sure she does. You may not like her proposals, but she does say how she would pay for things, principally through much higher taxes on the very wealthy.

And things that some think would cost a lot would actually save us money. Take universal health care coverage, for example. Add up what we currently pay for insurance premiums and health care-related taxation and that greatly exceeds what universal health coverage would cost. That’s why most western democracies have it.
Yes, those at a the "tippy top." Who talks like that besides five year olds? She is an infantile imbecile, which, of course, is why her proposals make so much sense to you...

So tell me how do you pay for healthcare for all? without killing the economy?
In my view, you do it through a national sales tax. Everyone pays in and everyone qualifies for catastrophic (read: inpatient) care. You get your routine, preventive and outpatient procedures through private insurance, out-of-pocket or charity paid care.

I would be willing to bet that would make the economy actually work better, by freeing up money businesses (and not-for-profits) currently pay for their workers' insurance to be invested in higher wages and capex.

That “infantile imbecile” would whup your ass in a debate, despite her youth.
As long as you were the scorekeeper, no doubt. But the fact that the mainstream deems are running from her kicking and screaming tells us all we need to know about this commie gaff machine's policy cred...

We shall see. She’s young. She makes mistakes, but she learns from them. You people know she’s got loads of potential. That’s why the GOP Slime Machine has obsessed about her.
