AOC: "Voter suppression" a factor in Bernie's Michigan loss, but duh

Rep. Alexandria Obviously-Comatose (D-Socialist-NY) has once again proved that her Green New Deal wasn't an outlier as an indicator of her "brilliance." This is a person who treats facts as if they were coronavirus and says things that appear to have been pulled from her nether regions.

So it wasn't a surprise to hear what she claimed to Fox News' Brett Baier Thursday about Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Communist-VT) regarding the Michigan primary and his huge loss to Joe Biden in that race.

Baier noted that younger voters didn't turn out in force for Sanders [as is typical of young voters in general] in Michigan and asked her, "how can you say the progressive position is still prevailing nationwide when Joe Biden is winning so much?”

Her response was a feeble attempt at showing her intelligence. Instead, it proved my premise that if facts were food, she would starve.

OCASIO-CORTEZ: Well, I think one thing that we — that isn’t being talked about is the rampant voter suppression in this country. Right there, in Ann Arbor, where we had that rally, those kids were waiting three hours in line to vote in Michigan. And so when we talk about who’s turning out and who’s not turning out, we absolutely —

BAIER: So, just to be clear, you’re saying that you think voters didn’t get to vote that wanted to vote in Michigan?

OCASIO-CORTEZ: Absolutely. You know, obviously there’s also more that we need to do in terms of turning out youth voters. It’s — we need to make sure that we’re inspiring young people to turn out, but when you do turn out, you should not be waiting three, four, seven hours in order to vote. And that causes people to leave.

Joe Biden beat out Sanders by about 250,000 votes in Michigan (838,564 to 576,916 respectively), but more importantly, according to the Detroit Free Press, “the nearly 1.6 million Democratic ballots cast on Tuesday set a record.”

Voter suppression by an AOC definition is when her candidate loses.

And by definition, waiting to vote and then leaving because you're not willing to wait any longer is by no means "voter suppression," it is called impatience.

Like the farting cows of her Green New Deal, this claim is not going to fly.

When facts are involved, AOC avoids it like the plague, or you know what.
