>"Imagine if more people in power spent years of their lives actually working for a living," she wrote. "We'd probably have healthcare and living wages by now." Several hours later, Ocasio-Cortez further defended her previous employment, saying she is proud of her work in restaurants.
>"I also worked for Sen. Ted Kennedy, piloted literacy projects in the South Bronx, studied Development Economics in W Africa, served as an Educational Director & won international science competitions before I ran for office, too," she tweeted. >"Working people that GOP dismiss as 'just a waitress/cook/etc' contain multitudes, & are just as capable & intelligent as anyone. Classism—judging someone's character by their income—is disappointing to see from them. >"What is so appalling to GOP about having an honest job? Some of the most nuanced, intelligent, & grounded people I've ever met weren't at BU, MIT or Harvard events when I was a student. They were the plumbers & waitresses I hung out with at happy hour, who had ferocious intellectual curiosity *and* a lived context of the real world.
>"In other words, Republicans who criticize my being a waitress as evidence of lacking skill can take their classism to the trash. You are insulting the capacities and potential of virtually every working person in America (& the world) for having experience that's earned, not bought. (And that's if they even take out their own trash, which I doubt)."
Why has the Right-wing decided to betray working class people and align themselves with ivory tower elites?
>a low-level employee thinks she's better than a nation-wide employer First of all, she is nowhere close to working class. Second, she has this awful tendency of thinking she is the only self-made gal on this planet, and every other rich dude got there only through jew tactics and greed. Why do people even try to support someone that can't see her own reflection?
John Perez
>Entire job is about lying so you get more tips and withold taxes """"Honest"""" for a woman sure.
Ayden Morales
Why does she keep making up fake insults thrown at her by republicans? This is just like when she said reps were making fun of her for dancing, which wasn't true.
Joseph Brooks
Has nothing to do with those people. Has to do with her lack of experience vs what she spews from her mouth. She's the dumbest person in the history of elected politicians and you and her are proof of dunning kruger.
Blake Roberts
>tfw AOC is more of an oldfag than 99% of Jow Forums
Nah you don't get it, anything from the old internet is cringe, anything that hates niggers and jews is based. Get it right if you're a real alt-righter 4channer!
Michael Parker
everyone on Jow Forums wants to fuck aoc
Nathan Sanders
>I would like to nominate AOC as queen of Jow Forums We need a new poll.
>why does An comes before Honest Because it begins with a vowel sound, pronouced like ''on-est''. Same with ''an hour''. There are some exeptions though I think, because English is a mess.
Hunter Butler
She literally has the same degrees from college as Ivanka, but from much less established institutions. Of course, college is a joke, but she’s fucking retarded for trying to attack a woman who was at the G20 summit literally as an envoy for “women’s rights” in the workplace
>Why has the Right-wing decided to betray working class people and align themselves with ivory tower elites? The Democrats and Republicans are Uniparty when it comes to betraying America's working classes.
Jacob Perry
Ah ok, thanks, same thing is applied to french, habite - je habit - j'havite. It always happenes with vowels, but h is an exception
Aiden Gonzalez
>Rents a suit for a photoshoot SEE!!!! SHE'S A BILLIONAIRE!!!!
are you fags retarded?
Lucas Nguyen
>too poor to afford own clothes and has to rent >"please listen to my ideas about how to run the economy"
Sebastian Kelly
>mad at her for wearing expensive clothes >mad at her for not wearing expensive clothes ?
Leo Jackson
I don't think anyone is mad at her for not wearing expensive clothes. People are mad because she's clearly full of shit. Nice try though.
Fuck off with this retarded cunt she has no good points to ant one with a brain if toy let her run ruff shot of the gov we be poor browner and starving.
Wyatt Wood
No she’s dumb, but that guy who asked if Guam would tip over is the king
David Baker
Or when she was supposedly insulted for needing help moving into a DC apartment.
John Peterson
Hank Johnson is still in, for anyone paying attention.
Henry Diaz
Because she takes people on twitter to be “reps”, because she’s a stupid fucking bartender thot who thinks everyone uses Twitter in this country of over 350 million people, not including illegals. She’s completely unfit for the job, has anyone even seen her in her district?
Carter Jones
>rents expensive clothes to appear wealthy >shes poor! POOR! so why does she want to appear like shes not? flipfloping master
Cooper Sullivan
wtf do you want her to wear in congress
Nathaniel Bell
The point is the clothes aren’t rented, you genuinely think this broad doesn’t have that pantsuit in one of closets right now?
>Poor people shouldn't have nice things As a Congress woman who was a former waitress, is she only allowed to wear clothes from Walmart? Is there anything she could wear that you wouldn't then criticize her for?
Christian Baker
>waitress >Econ degree from BU >can’t find Econ related job in NY might be a retard
Remember that picture of her poor shoes that she apparently wore out going door to door begging for votes? How she held that up as a symbol for her realness and hard work and dedication? That's why she is being mocked for wearing expensive clothes to a photo shoot. If she was really about what she claims, she would have no problems wearing Wal Mart clothes as a symbol of solidarity with the working class. But you know, she didn't do that.

>happy hour drunks I served, I mean hung out with, had a ferocious intellectual curiosity.
Landon Howard
What's so wrong about being told the truth.
Owen Martinez
Econ was her MINOR but she gets away with claiming it’s her focus
Justin Moore
Her family moved out of the Bronx when she was like four and she spent her whole life living in Yorktown Heights, a wealthy suburb that even when AOC was growing up had a median income that was pushing $80-90K. Her dad was a fucking architect. She's not working class.
Jordan Hughes
>Graduates from Boston Univ. It’s perceived to be one of better schools. >Becomes a waitress upon graduation It’s not like she got gender study degree from state university.
Carter Edwards
>What is so appalling to GOP about having an honest job? I dunno, according to them I'm the devil for driving a diesel truck for my daily routine on my job.
Liam Gonzalez
Hmm Ms. AOC. Can we discuss the evil red dye that is in this maraschino cherry you just served me and how it helps the patriarchy? Quickly please, I need to go clean the bus.
James Watson
Seems like common thread amongst the liberals. >grows up upper middle class >liberal indoctrination >hates them selves >Wishes they grew up “poor” >Wants to make everyone EQUALLY poor except them selves because they’ve “earned it”
this we cant govern ourselves c'mon guys we need a strong elite, who's families have been in power for decades. they know what's best for us. All I want is to be happy, work hard, have a gf and start a family. I'll complain on the sidelines about politics and whoever wins the battle becomes my hero.
i would expect that person who rules over me is better than me in most ways. why would i want waiter to rule me when i am STEM graduate... i would probably do better than her.
Oliver King
>if I appeal to the minimum wage making joe smo and make him feel smart I’ll feed less bad about replacing him with niggers and increasing his taxes She’s so fucking transparent it’s not even funny anymore Lower-class “intelligence” that she’s referring to is usually pseudo intellectualism protected by a layer of terrible life choices and a willingness to open their mouths and not shut up
Benjamin Thomas
But then you would have made fun of her for looking low class in the halls of Congress. You obviously don't like her so you'll criticize whatever she decides to wear.
Eli Sanders
We don’t have “people who rule over us” in USA.....in theory >Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
