Comments by "Triple 9" (@Betta66) on "Socialist Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Thinks Being Wealthy is Immoral, Goes Full Cringe" video.

  1. Remember the headline about Alexandria not being able to budget rent, and you laughed at her despite the fact that she was a working class woman who had to rent an apartment in one of the most expensive cities in the country before she started working there? So is she supposed to be poor and dumb or rich and dumb?

  2.  @suzydixon4930  I was speaking to rick m60. I hear conservatives talk about how the left's dislike of Trump is such that they make up stories about him and take his words out of context. I can't help but feel like the same is happening with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She used to work as a bartender, and as someone who works in a restaurant, I can tell you that what most bartenders make doesn't make them "rich." But as you said, that doesn't make her "poor" either. However, when there was that headline about her not being able to budget for rent, people like Styx either didn't know or didn't care that she was a working class woman who had to rent an apartment on her own in one of the most expensive cities in the country before she started working. How is that being poor at living within her means?

  3.  @suzydixon4930  Alleged? What, are you going to demand her college papers AND her long form birth certificate?

  5. The full context of her statement was that a system which allows billionaires to exist alongside extreme poverty is immoral. But please let your goons continue to criticize liberals for taking things out of context. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/22/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-a-system-that-allows-billionaires-to-exist-is-immoral.html

  6.  @waynemartin2536  A person can't be poor and rich at the same time. Pick one and stick with it. As for "dumb"? If we're judging intelligence by how many things a politician gets wrong, I can think of several people who'd score much lower than her.

  7.  @afrosheenix  She released a disclosure report last April which showed she made about $26,600 in 2017. Does median income count as a lot of money? http://clerk.house.gov/public_disc/financial-pdfs/2018/10021221.pdf

  8.  @suzydixon4930  She graduated cum laude (3.5–3.7 GPA) from Boston University. Before her campaign, she worked two jobs, including bartending. And she's still paying off student loan debt. http://time.com/money/5323399/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-career/

  10.  @suzydixon4930  If she ever does release her college transcripts, I'll definitely be hearing your thoughts on it (whether I want to or not)

  11.  @Joseph565112  I don't think I've heard of that conflict to the degree that you seem to be describing. And what she said was the world would end in 12 years if we didn't address climate change, which is an admittedly more extreme version of what the UN said in its report last year

  13. ​ @trishfitzpatrick2066  Clearly I forgot to put on my tinfoil hat for this. Why don't you just ask her yourself? https://www.rentcafe.com/blog/apartment-search-2/money/millennials-spend-93000-on-rent-by-the-time-they-hit-30/
