Do. . . you. . . have. . . a. . . definition. . . for. . . "socialism."
There, I said it slow to accommodate your faculties.
He has what we refer to in Canada as a "Coles Notes" definition. Easy to pigeon-hole, not much thought or historic background required.

WATCH: Ocasio-Cortez Gets SHREDDED On Live TV By Former ICE Chief

Joseph Curl for the Daily Wire reports, "It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it," Maurice Switzer wrote in 1906, rephrasing a biblical proverb. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is apparently unfamiliar with the adage. Nearly daily, she opens her mouth and confirms that she doesn't know what she's talking about.

SHREDDED!!!!

OK, slowly yanking the trigger didn't seem to improve your aim at all...you have to really change your site picture I think.
:)
Like wiener in the prison shower, you have to slowly SQUEEZE the trigger.

Give me your interpretation first and I'll decide whether more explaining is needed for you
Okey-dokey. Now that we've established that you have no definition for "socialism," and are given to using words you don't understand, ignoring you seems like the best course.

Sadly, they actually let you vote.

BREAKING : Democrat Party Just Gave Ocasio-Cortez A Smackdown

Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib passed over by House Dems for influential committee memberships

House Democratic leaders this week passed over New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and other new progressive firebrands for memberships on powerful committees, despite a viral campaign by liberal activists.

Although it is historically rare for freshmen members of Congress to obtain sought-after seats on top committees, progressive groups said they saw the news as a setback, as they hope to enact sweeping environmental and economic reforms in the coming years. The Steering and Policy Committee, chaired by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, formally assigns members to committees.

I didn't know you were grading me, also which model do you need explained to you btw second time I asked


Fox host: Ocasio-Cortez's 'brain is as empty as socialism itself'

Fox Business News host Lisa Kennedy said Monday that she enjoys Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-N.Y.) tweets and Instagram livestreams because they show "how empty-headed she really is."

"And her brain is as empty as socialism itself and the ideas that she pushes," she added while hosting the Fox News show "Outnumbered."

Ocasio-Cortez is a self-described democratic socialist.

Morgan Gsalter for the Hill reports, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) warned freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) to rein in her criticism of fellow Democrats, saying she shouldn’t “attack your own people.”

See the report here:

Does she want to be a successful twitter star or a successful lawmaker. There is an unspoken rule about attacking ones own team canniballistically.

Because...

Ocasio-Cortez, youth protesters storm Pelosi office to push for climate plan

Capitol Police said they arrested 51 protesters for unlawfully demonstrating outside Pelosi's office in the Cannon House Office Building. The arrests began a few hours after the demonstration began, when protesters refused to leave the area. Pelosi said she welcomed the protest and called on the police "to allow them to continue to organize and participate in our democracy.”

Ocasio-Cortez, who left before the arrests began, said she was there to support the protesters and encourage Pelosi to listen to them. Ocasio-Cortez has not made clear yet whether she'll back Pelosi for speaker when Democrats hold leadership elections later this month, though noted today she's "looking forward to us working together."

It looked like pelosi would get revenge on her detractors and those that opposed her like...

then...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez landed a role on a key House committee– the House Financial Services Committee. She’ll be under the “leadership” (I use the term loosely) of none other than Maxine “Impeach 45” Waters.

Nope. With such a complex setup, it is important to name precisely which committee you're talking about.

Or, as you would say whilst scratching your backside, "Semantics."
