Think Progress

The face of the progressive movement is broke and has no plan. Some comedies write themselves.

The sad part is that you think that's an honest/legitimate story

There is just one problem: the new Democratic-led House won’t be seated until January 3 and Ocasio-Cortez quit her job as a bartender to focus on her campaign, so she has no income and no place to live in Washington, D.C. “We’re kind of just dealing with the logistics of it day by day, but I’ve really been just kind of squirreling away and then hoping that gets me to January,” the 29-year-old Democratic socialist told the New York Times.

She'll pay for her housing and daily expenses the same way she paid for her campaign. Donors. Ain't nobody on the left gonna allow her to struggle financially until her salary kicks in.

Looks like a signal for all progs to give to a gofundme to support her until she can start getting paid.

They get paid a salary to be Congressman which includes a housing allowance. She clearly has no idea.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
?
@Ocasio2018
There are many little ways in which our electoral system isn’t even designed (nor prepared) for working-class people to lead.

This is one of them (don’t worry btw - we’re working it out!)

She doesn’t have any idea about a lot of stuff, so this isn’t a surprise.

I think it’s a legitimate article for the progressives of the country.

“Poor young aspiring female minority can’t find affordable housing. How can the rest of us afford it?!!”

My suggestion:

Drive Uber.
Get a roommate.
Use her background in bartending.

Her Twitter comes across as, "I would be happy if someone started a GoFundMe so I can live like a millionaire in DC."

I do agree with this though

Ocasio-Cortez needs a SUGAR DADDY!

She can go to www.seekingarrangement.com and find her a wealthy guy to support her for certain "favors"

The electoral system doesn't work because she can't afford housing?
