Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Just Made The Dumbest Comparison Ever

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was recently in Kansas, trying to pump up voters. They need to flip that seat red!

Yes, red.

Bless her socialist heart.

She gave a speech during her visit, and it was a doozy. She essentially compared voting for Democrats NOW to ending slavery back THEN. ‘Cause you know. Kansas had to decide if it wanted to be a free state, and voters have the opportunity to do the same exact thing now! Potato, potahto.

“I learned that Kansas was founded over the struggle of the conscience of this nation,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “It was when we were deciding who we wanted to be as a country. It was when we were deciding who we wanted to be with the Kansas-Nebraska Act. The people who were … leading this nation said, ‘You decide’ to the people.”

“‘Are we going to be a slave state or are we going to be a free state?’ And it was in 1861 that the people of Kansas decided that we were going to be a free nation,” she continued. “Back then, the people of Kansas were the tipping point for the future of this nation. Today, they are again.”

Wait. So you’re comparing the struggle back then– the struggle of SLAVERY– to today? Are you serious? You’re equating Democratic voters in Kansas to those who voted for a free state back then? That’s just plain stupid.

She should feel ashamed of herself for essentially minimizing the significance of that historical decision by making that incredibly crappy modern day comparison. THERE IS NO COMPARISON HERE. Fighting for free health care, free college, free housing, etc. is NOT the same as the past fight to be a free state.

The New York congressional candidate then went into a laundry list of government giveaways, including “Medicare for all,” free college tuition, and a “living wage,” before finishing with another reference to slavery.

“But what this moment requires of us, just as it was in 1861, what this moment requires of us is for everyday people to do more than they have ever done before to reclaim the soul of this nation,” she said.

Unreal.
