Socialist superstar Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continued to ruffle feathers among voters in New York Thursday; bizarrely urging “imperfect people” to run for office and calling the Republican Party “corny.”
The self-described Democratic Socialist posted the unusual comments on social media Thursday morning; saying “More imperfect people need to run for office” and calling her GOP opponents “corny.”
Why is the GOP so corny?
You can front a band and run for office. You can pierce your nose, be a bartender, a teacher, a stay at home parent; wear a dress or rip your jeans – none of this disqualifies you from advancing the fight for healthcare, education, housing, and justice. https://t.co/NuVgmJmOFE

More imperfect people need to run for office. We need to eliminate the idea of “perfect” candidates – there’s no such thing.
What matters are your values and the platform you’re fighting for.
When the opposition goes into personal nonsense, it’s because they‘re empty handed.

Cortez comments come just hours after her liberal colleague Cynthia Nixon squared off against Governor Andrew Cuomo, where the sitting NY leader referred to federal ICE agents as a “bunch of thugs.”

– Supporting worker-owned businesses
– Bonus: Spotted a @PPact helping people, per usual✌🏽💜 pic.twitter.com/xmiYXutfpS— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) August 19, 2018

CORTEZ CONFUSION: Socialist Star Defends NYC Yellow Cabs, Staff Uses UBER
Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez left New York voters scratching their heads this week; claiming “solidarity” with the Big Apple’s yellow cab drivers despite her staff routinely using Uber and other taxi alternatives.
Cortez lamented the plight of the city’s taxi drivers on social media last March following a string of suicides, writing “Yellow cab drivers are in financial ruin due to the unregulated expansion of Uber. What was a living wage job now pays under minimum.”
NYC's fourth driver suicide. Yellow cab drivers are in financial ruin due to the unregulated expansion of Uber. What was a living wage job now pays under minimum.
We need:
– to call Uber drivers what they are: EMPLOYEES, not contractors
– Fed jobs guarantee
– Prep for automation https://t.co/FjfapJV2ni— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) March 21, 2018

The FEC has yet to release statistics for July and August.
