Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was photographed flying first-class to a Bernie Sanders event last month — with critics saying it shows how she battles inequality one “mimosa at a time.”

An incredulous passenger snapped AOC (D-NY) getting comfy in the roomy first-class cabin of JetBlue Flight 511 on March 19 that departed from JFK Airport in Queens for Las Vegas, where she spoke at a Sanders rally titled “Fighting Oligarchy.”

The next day, the equality-spouting darling of the far left rallied along with her socialist comrade, Sen. Sanders (I-Vt.), in North Vegas and at Arizona State University in Tempe.

“Nothing says, ‘Power to the people’ like ignoring voters looking to say hello and reclining in first class while tweeting about income inequality,” the flier who took the photo told The Post — claiming that AOC did not respond to friendly comments once she sat down. ...

So great.
How can she be expected to Fight the Oligarchy™️ without priority boarding, extra legroom, complimentary drinks & hot towels?

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
AOC being lifted up is a grand outcome for the GOP.  Nothing like the Democommies exalting a true communist to show what they have become.  Again, Democratic Socialism is semantics for COMMUNIST!!!!!

AOC's $1K seat to preach socialism

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

America may stink, but at least there's still first class for all the elites like Sandy.

AOC claims America is in a “downfall” claiming the country was not “built to last” and it “deserves to decline.”
“Ultimately it crumbles into this, a small cohort of incompetent people that create damage.”

Of course she did.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
