Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) on Friday compared her 2018 election victory to American accomplishments such as the moon landing and the establishment of civil rights.

During a press conference meant to publicize her support of a Green New Deal, a nebulous government spending plan promoting ideas backed by lawmakers like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), Ocasio-Cortez equated Democratic elections victories like her own with other seemingly "impossible" U.S. achievements.

"This is not just about a Green New Deal, this is about a new deal for the United States of America," she said. "Because in every moment where our country has reached the depths of darkness, in every moment, when we were at the brink, at the cusp, of an abyss, and we did not know if we could be capable of saving ourselves, we have."

Well she is from outer space.

And out comes the bug-eyed girl from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And she shoots you dead and she eats your head
And then you're in the girl from Mars
You go out at night eating cars
You eat Cadillac's, Lincoln's too
Mercury's and Subaru's...

Congratulations to SJL for losing the banner as Washington's dumbest legislator.

Read her words. That is the essence of liberalism these days. Relatively speaking, things are well right now. To the socialists, the world is burning, we are in a dark purgatory, and we desperately need a total govt takeover to save our very souls.

I know these kind of brainless comparisons sound cool and smart to her hipster friends...but someone is really gonna have to have a talk with her once she has a "staff" and tell her to start thinking before she speaks.

You're assuming that's an option...

Well one was opposed by Democrats and some claim the other was fake.

Perhaps she's on to something about her own election.

It's always so sad to see young people with low self-esteem issues.

There are similarities.  She certainly is a space-cadet.

I had thought that was impossible until AOC was elected, but, here we are.
