Socialist blue New York is seeing its locals fleeing to other states, and with those kind of losses, someone's congressional seat has got to go.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said the Democratic Party needs new leadership during an interview with The Intercept that aired Dec. Enter Ocasio-Cortez: she beat out Crowley in the primary for New York’s 14th District, which covers the eastern Bronx and north-central Queens. Ocasio-Cortez won with 57.5 percent of the vote. Ocasio-Cortez is a self-described democratic socialist who had previously volunteered on Vermont Senator Bernie Sander’s presidential campaign and got his endorsement for her primary race. In her campaign video, which has been viewed more than two million times, Ocasio-Cortez talks about being a political outsider who wants to create change. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez offers internships in both her Washington D.C. And Jackson Heights offices. Both internship programs run throughout the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. DC and District Office Interns are compensated at a rate of $15/hour, unless sponsored by an outside organization also compensating at a rate of $15/hour.

Whose seat is on the block? The Daily Wire has a report:

According to pollster Frank Luntz, New York is likely to lose a seat in Congress after the 2020 census and Democrats in the state legislature will have to redraw the state's Congressional districts as a result. Although there are plenty of places to cut, New York Dems are reportedly eyeing Ocasio-Cortez's Bronx district for elimination because she's been out of sync with state-level Democrats who control the process.

'New York is expected to lose a House seat after the 2020 Census, and state Democrats are looking to draw out @AOC's district,' Luntz wrote on Twitter. He included a link to an article from a local New York City magazine, The City, that suggested the Ocasio-Cortez is doubling down on her efforts to encourage her constituents to fill out the 2020 census so that she can stay in office.

The report goes on to note that the machinations of New York's state legislators skew against Ocasio-Cortez's spot, given that she doesn't get along with them. There's also the matter of some of New York's other Democrats within the machinery having it in for her, given that she ousted a longtime machine pol, Joe Crowley, who probably dished out many favors to them.

But the real message is in the hard fact that New York is losing people, and that loss is firmly rooted in Ocasio-Cortez's animating philosophy: socialism. Socialism the world over drives people to flight. This is as true in New York as it is in Venezuela, China, Russia, North Korea, and Cuba.

And Ocasio-Cortez herself was directly responsible for some of the drive-out, based on her halting of a highly sought Amazon operation in her district. Amazon explicitly stated that Ocasio-Cortez's statements are what made the company change its mind and go someplace less hostile to business. She also drove out other investors, ridiculously claiming that their jobs weren't good enough, not 'dignified jobs,' as if to say that no jobs is better than jobs she claims to be underpaid or unimportant. Residents in her district have commented on that drive-out, and they weren't happy. And Amazon was just one of them. There were many others.

When jobs go, so do people, so guess what: Ocasio-Cortez might just be out on her ear. Democracy has this way of leavening things out — more of the good stuff, less of the bad. With a declining population base, the seats go. The Daily Wire already noted that Ocasio-Cortez has been banking on her district's abundant illegals to make up the difference, but even that may not save her. Illegals flee socialism for the same reason citizens and legal residents, too: the lack of economic growth. When the state takes everything and leaves you with nothing, why would anyone want to stay?

Amazon has since made moves to return to New York, raising questions as to whether it heard that Ocasio-Cortez's seat is about to become history.

If so, it's a good sign it is. Ocasio-Cortez might just have socialisted herself out of a job based on nobody wanting to be around for all that worker paradise. Let's hope she has.

Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) cheered the news that oil futures plunged below zero on Monday as demand due to the coronavirus pandemic continued to plummet.

Ocasio-Cortez tweeted: “You absolutely love to see it. This along with record low interest rates means it’s the right time for a worker-led, mass investment in green infrastructure to save our planet. *cough*

Ocasio-Cortez wrote her statement while promoting a tweet that stated: “Oil prices now at ‘negative values,’ meaning oil producers have to pay people to take it off their hands and store it because when demand plunges (like now), that is less expensive for them than building more storage and/or shutting wells down.”

There was immediate backlash online as critics said that Ocasio-Cortez was “cheering” American job losses due to the pandemic.

Political commentator Stephen Miller mocked those who have claimed that no one is cheering the pandemic, sarcastically writing: “No one is cheering this pandemic.”

Miller later added: “You only need thousands of people dead and millions of people unemployed to enact your vision, which is basically what we’ve been saying all along.”

America First Spokesman Steve Cortes responded: “I look forward to challenging leftists – from AOC to Joe Biden to Andrew Cuomo – to explain their anti-Energy radicalism to voters, especially in places like western PA”

Jason Howerton tweeted: “AOC deleted the tweet. Never forget. Radicals want revolution and they don’t care what kind of unthinkable hell all of us would have to go through to get there.”

Daily Caller investigative reporter Chuck Ross wrote: “My cousin’s husband was laid off from his oil field job in Western Texas even before today’s downturn. They have 3 kids. She has cancer for the second time in her life, prognosis unclear. So no, you don’t ‘absolutely love to see it.'”

RNC Rapid Response Director Steve Guest wrote: “Screen shots live forever. Here’s a screen grab of @AOC cheering on job losses. Disgusting.”

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Political Beliefs

Ocasio-Cortez offered no apology for her remarks and instead kept going, tweeting: “Now is the time to create millions of good jobs building out the infrastructure and clean energy necessary to save our planet for future generations. For our economy, our planet, and our future, we need a #GreenNewDeal.”

Just last week, the Houston Chronicle reported:

Oil and gas companies announced plans to cut more than 6,400 jobs on a grim day for the industry that saw the price of crude oil settle below $20 for the first time since 2001 and the amount of petroleum in U.S. storage rise by nearly 20 million barrels.

The most job losses came at Weatherford International, the Houston-based oil-field service company, which said Wednesday that it plans to cut 25 percent of its global workforce. A breakdown of where the layoffs will take place was not immediately available but the company had said it employed about 24,000 workers at the beginning of the year — meaning it will shed 6,000 jobs.

Last year, Ocasio-Cortez was one of the people who sabotaged a deal where Amazon would have brought tens of thousands of new jobs to her district and billions of dollars of economic activity.

“Thirty-eight percent of voters faulted the congresswoman for the deal’s demise, identifying her as a ‘villain,'” The New York Times reported. “In the New York City suburbs, 50 percent of voters blamed Ms. Ocasio-Cortez. Upstate, the number was 40 percent; in the five boroughs, it was 29 percent.”
