not april fools, Bernie does believe money grows on trees and thinks that giving free money out to people, and thus causing the increase in tuition rates (since now more demand) is the solution.

What's puzzling is that AOC isn't even the most extreme young brown woman from New York.
Julia Salazar, NY State Senator, said this in an interview last year:
Advocating for the abolition of private property?!
What the hell is it with pretty young Hispanic women actively trying to destroy the United States of America?
Julia Salazar, NY State Senator, said this in an interview last year:
A democratic socialist recognizes the capitalist system as being inherently oppressive, and is actively working to dismantle it and to empower the working class and the marginalized in our society. Socialists recognize that under capitalism, rich people are able — through private control of industry and of what should be public goods — to accumulate wealth by exploiting the working class and the underclass. Functionally, this perpetuates and exacerbates inequality.
A progressive will stop short at proposing reforms that help people but don’t necessarily transform the system. For example a progressive might advocate for forcing landlords to do necessary repairs on buildings. But unless you advocate for universal rent control and frankly, eventually, the abolition of private property — though that’s not my campaign platform because it’s not very realistic — what you’re actually doing is just kicking the can down the road.
What it means to be a democratic socialist legislator is to push for changes that will have positive material effects in people’s lives, but which also bring us closer to a truly socialist economic system.

It concerns me that people like AOC and Julia Salazar make people like Sanders look a little less crazy by comparison. Maybe that's the whole point.
You are referring to Samantha jumping into the wrong car? Wonder if his attorney will blame the victim.......

Also, 100% serious:
Cows emit vastly more methane via their burps than via their farts.
The burp:fart ratio is between 10:1 and 20:1 (source: https://ideas.ted.com/methane-isnt-j...reenhouse-gas/)
Not that this makes AOC any less morally reprehensible or sexually attractive...
