It's pretty much a given, that anytime Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez opens her mouth, there will be people who will get angry
Comrade Bernie plays on the ignorance of his supporters, hoping that they won’t think critically about the possible implications of his radical Marxist policies. He tries to fool his supporters by claiming to support European-style welfare states, when in reality, he is a socialist at heart.
Bernie doesn’t tell them what true socialism looks like. He is being intellectually dishonest about his definition of socialism. The European model is not true socialism. True socialism is when the government owns the entire means of production of a national economy. The government tells producers how much to produce and at what price. Private property is abolished and the people become slaves to the government.

She's doing all she can to stay on board and Bernie not even realize all the damage she's doing to his campaign. Let them go down together.
The nation's immigration court system is shouldering crushing caseloads, chaos and confusion.

I don't see that as always a bad thing to tell citizens to disobey a law they feel is unjust. That's what makes America great.
Im not on AOC's side, but i don't think this is "treasonous" as another poster claimed. It just seems misguided and impractical.

Maybe as a lawmaker she is not doing a proper job but it seems wholly American to disobey laws that appear unjust.
Maybe she is in the wrong as a lawmaker, but in the right as a citizen who feels a unjust law is occurring.
So one should obey and tell others to obey laws they feel are unjust?

Well, you're probably right regarding her as a lawmaker to focus the talk on fixing laws, not breaking them.
However i completely disagree with following unjust laws in hopes they one day change. Do you think rosa parks and thousands of others in the civil rights era should have just obeyed the laws? Should nobody ever film ad gag factory farms because their lobbyists seduced lawmakers into creating an unjust law?
