Young and dumb and not much else

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the democrats newest version of stupid was complaining that she was treated like an intern, implying that people had no idea who she is because of her youth.
Not the case at all. Most interns are smarter, better dressed and also much better behaved. She was dealing with the old guard of the communist party, and you can safely bet your last dollar every one of them knows exactly who she is.
The treatment she was given contained a not so subtle message, "Girl, know your place". Washington is entrenched. The old guard members of the uniparty are in it for themselves, but also for their big money backers. Most of them are owned, traded, and completely controlled by interests who do not give a crap about America. Most of them owe a debt to the likes of George Soros, Tom Steyer, Warren Buffet, or any of the other big money donors who try to hide in the shadows and avoid sunlight. Ocasio-Cortez aint got them... Yet. She was elected from a dem safe district. The big money didn't count on ethnicity being a factor in her unseating Joe Crowley.  They are not happy with the results. Yes, they kept the seat, but Ocasio-Cortez is a loose cannon. Her decision to protest Nancy P. Lousy's office shows her lack of allegiance to the democrat party and their socialist controllers.
There is not much difference between Russian communism and German socialism. Both have their roots in Germany. One big difference is that with Russia, operatives from Germany sent Lenin over in the middle of the first world war as part of their strategy to disrupt Russia and protect Germany's eastern front. The revolution toppled the czar, but more importantly, it also toppled the ruling class. The big money, the bankers and industrialists who controlled the flow of cash in Russian society went down with the Czar.
The big money in Germany did not want to risk that happening. The communist party in Germany was not much different than he ones in Russia. The bankers and industrialists feared them. We have the same thing going on here. The rich socialists like Soros do not want to lose their wealth. They want socialism to protect their place in society. We saw with obama-care how they protected their interests. The costs of health insurance were shifted from corporate pockets to individual ones freeing capital for many of them that otherwise was tied up with health benefits.
After Hitler ascended to power in Germany the street thugs became a liability. They wanted to continue the revolution like what had taken place in Russia. Since the industrialists owned and controlled Hitler, it was important to throw the brown shirts under the bus, or rather in front of a firing squad. The people like Krupp had no intention of converting their vast holdings to state owned and run entities.
Ocasio-Cortez and by extension Bernie Sanders are more like some of Earnest Rohm's brown shirts. We saw that in how they shafted Bernie in the nomination process. His job was to come in a distant second, not claw for the nomination.
Ocasio-Cortez will be marginalized by her party. She is a socialist like Sanders, and they intend to keep her from positions of power. If she gets a committee assignment, it will be done in such a way that they can control her. They might go so far as to give her a chairman slot, but if so, the committee will be stacked with old school dems tasked with keeping her controlled.
Ocasio-Cortez is young and dumb. Her district is not a virulent hole teeming with socialists. her district is a safe haven for democrats, one no republican will likely ever touch. Her voters are not wanting Russian communism, venezuela's version or Castro's either. The folks there want their welfare checks, food stamps and medicare. The want free shit, not revolution.  They voted for her because they are Latino and she is Latino. They don't care that she is a flaming Hitler Bernie youth baby. They just chose Hispanic over white.
The old school socialists in Washington understand what happened. As far as they are concerned, Ocasio-Cortez needs to learn her place and STFU. Just as President Trump has decided to throw his considerable influence behind keeping Nancy P. Lousy as the face of the democrats in the House, he can also use Ocasio-Cortez if he wants. I can see him twisting her like a pretzel to the point where in spite of her socialist convictions, she will be a tool for conservatism during the next two years. Yes, she is that dumb. She won't even know if it happens.
