Originally published at: NOT A DRILL: Ocasio-Cortez Says Social Media Causing ‘Moral Erosion’… ON SOCIAL MEDIA | Sean Hannity
Controversial Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez left millions of followers scratching their heads over the weekend after she accused social media of causing “moral erosion” by posting the message on social media.
“The holy grail of many social platforms is ‘engagement.’ Bigotry + disinformation campaigns are often the most ‘engaging” (& rewarded) due to their inflammatory nature. Some, like Pinterest+Reddit, at least TRY to address this. Others decide profit is worth the social erosion,” posted AOC on Twitter.
“Even from a ‘market competition’ perspective, it’s a bad long-term strategy. The reason young people are leaving Facebook in droves is bc its unchecked toxicity makes it an awful place to be. Think abt this as Big Tech lobbies for monopoly power to prevent mkt competition,” she added.

Ocasio-Cortez doubled-down on her ‘Green New Deal’ just last week; bizarrely suggesting the massive federal program would somehow prevent Midwest tornadoes and flooding.
“Homeowners are now learning an ugly truth: Their homeowner’s policy doesn’t cover water damage like this. That requires a specific federal flood insurance policy. This is terrible. We need AOC’s Green New Deal Now,” posted Justice Democrats on social media.
Ocasio-Cortez retweeted the message.

AOC’s comments come just one day after she posted the ‘Five Principles’ for the New Deal; failing to mention the legislation didn’t receive a single vote in the US Senate.
“5 Principles in the Green New Deal: 1. Go Big 2. Be Specific 3. Set Deadlines 4. Let Them Sue (aka, “Don’t Flinch”) 5. Make Floors, Not Ceilings,” posted Ocasio-Cortez on social media.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called AOC’s ‘New Deal’ to a full Senate vote months ago; where it failed to secure a single “Yes” vote despite receiving widespread support from a handful of Democratic presidential hopefuls.
Three Senators -Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, and Independent Angus King- joined Republicans in voting against the measure as all other Democrats voted “present.”
