Ocasio-Cortez raises eyebrows after citing national park as example of Democratic socialism
Left-wing Democrats have long said that implementing Democratic socialism is easier than conservatives claim. But according to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, it’s a walk in the park.
The overnight Democratic superstar, who rose out of obscurity after beating Rep. Joe Crowley, D-NY, in June’s primary, has been widely mocked for a number of gaffes and misstatements she has made on a subsequent media and campaign tour.
That mockery looked set to continue this week after she took a leisurely stroll through Maine’s Acadia National Park, and declared it — along with other benign Sunday stops — an example of democratic socialism.
She cited not only her visit to the park, but also eating a breakfast sandwich at a cafe co-op, and “supporting worker-owned businesses.” She also added as a “bonus” that she spotted a Planned Parenthood branch “helping people, per usual.”

Cotez needs a month long vacation at Yellowstone, in order to build her constituency with Grizzlies and Cougars, but both breeds of Yellowstone residents will have to overlook how skinny she is.
What a Bimbo!
National parks are an example of the kinds of things government SHOULD be doing for its citizens, as opposed to socialism, which involves government doing for people what they should be doing for themselves or through private ventures.
Cortez is the best comedian to come along in awhile, she doesn’t swear much and he joke are hilarious. Kimmel can take a lesson from her, what she says is funnier and cute, vote crude like his junk. OK Cortez your the best. If we get complete Socialism?Communism you’ll be unhappy but if you stop in Venezuela you’ll save time and go back to school.
