    From reactions to Ocasio-Cortez's Daily Show clip I expected fire-breathing socialism. Watched it, heard garden-variety liberalism: Raise taxes, cut military spending, spend on social programs. Disagree, sure. But after a big debt-financed, rich-skewing tax cut, it's not weird.

        I’m sorry but she seemed overwhelmed by the question, as if she hadn’t really thought it out before. Also her math on this stuff is laughable. Start smaller: Medicare for all paid for by drug prx cuts, reduced Military spending

        She was also wrong about about military spending ($700B total budget, not budget increase, and SecDef Mattis requested it, it wasn't forced on the Pentagon). My comment is in response to the "OMG Socialism! Venezuela!!!" takes that flooded my timeline.

        No doubt. Every time someone scream socialism, I say, “I sure hope you aren’t using the roads, police, or fire, because that’s also paid by your taxes !!”

        @Ocasio2018 and #BernieSanders are both much more moderate than their supporters or oppenents like to think. Their platforms and ideas are kind of standard liberal Democratic politics circa 1932-1984.

        Having watched Sanders’ presidential campaign, I know he’s not for me. Foreign policy is the biggest reason, but there are others. I’m quite critical of socialism, including the Bernie variety. Still, the reaction to Ocasio-Cortez strikes me as oddly overblown.

        Agree with this being overblown. Shows how upstarts are truly feared by establishment types.

        But it is not just the establishment who have reacted this way. Their own supporters think these people are much more radical than they are.

        If we can make space in the Democratic Party for the Manchins, Heitkamps, Testers and the McCaskills, surely we can afford a couple Ocasio-Cortez ‘s.

        Love the platform. Should be exactly what dems are running on. A return to sensible military spending and more efforts directed at making social programs work. US will never get rid of these programs but they need drastic overhauling
