She just unseated a career politician!
Had to go with all of the above,, given the choices.
seems a bit whack to me,
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

Ocasio-Cortez emphasized that, for her, democratic socialism means ensuring that everyone's fundamental rights and needs are met and respected. As the congressional candidate described:
For me, democratic socialism is about ... I believe that in a modern, moral, and wealthy society, no person in America should be too poor to live ... Seems pretty simple. So what that means to me is health care as a human right. It means that every child no matter where you are born should have access to a college or trade school education if they so choose it. I think that no person should be homeless, if we can have public structures and public policies to allow for people to have homes and food and lead a dignified life in the United States.
Lol. Unfortunately, you cannot ensure everyone's needs are met if you want to ensure their fundamental rights. In fact, if you try to ensure everyone's needs are met, you will have no rights - and then, you will still not satisfy everyone's needs.Ocasio-Cortez explained her take on democratic socialism during an interview with Stephen Colbert on June 29.

Capitalism creates wealth. Socialism's only concern is the distribution of wealth, which only ends up destroying wealth.

Don't forget this primary was determined by a pathetically small number of voters given the size of the district.

They're going off of what they believe to be the Nordic model. However, they don't really understand the Nordic model. In their model countries like Denmark, they have VERY low regulation, no minimum wage, and almost zero protectionism in trade. If you only looked at those aspects, Denmark looks like one of the most capitalistic countries in the world. But they never tell you that - because they don't want that. They only want the free stuff.
In short, those countries use the wealth created by capitalism to fund socialist medicine and education. But they can only afford to do this because their defense (and medical innovation) is being heavily subsidized by the US. Their health care and education industries are a drag on their economies and always run at a loss - it's just that they have freedom in other places that generates enough wealth to cover it.
Here's the question to ask them: How does socialism create wealth? It stumps them every time, because they only think about how to distribute wealth.

She's a dimwit and hypocrite...which I suppose is the curriculum vitiate for being a socialist.
How radical she is, in today's understanding of the word, is "not very".
She is in favor of what most Amerikunts want...especially urban, immigrant and minority AmeriKa.

White-Washing Socialism
Leftists have tried their best to re-brand and obfuscate socialism to make it palatable to the misinformed masses.
No matter how many times socialist experiments have failed—from the Soviet Union to present-day Venezuela —many naïve leftists continue their never-ending goose chase for a socialist experiment that works.
The casual mention of socialism in political discourse is troubling.
When countries like Venezuela are crumbling before our very eyes it is astounding that many elected officials continue to flirt with the idea of implementing socialism.
In the Left’s imagination, Scandinavia is the silver bullet to the capitalist model.
This tired trope ignores several crucial details about the Nordic countries’ prosperity:
1. They are among the freest economies in the world (which admittedly may not be saying much), according to various economic freedom indices. At worst, they are mixed economies.
2. As highlighted in works like Scandinavian Unexceptionalism, Nordic countries first became rich through capitalism well before the welfare state was established.
Facts notwithstanding, the political Left continues to doze off into economic lala land and relies on raw emotion to draw conclusions on political economy.
...
They also have (had) a homogeneous culture that universally accepted the idea of having "just enough" or "this will do, no more please".This tired trope ignores several crucial details about the Nordic countries’ prosperity:

It is called lagom.
I've often wondered if there isn't an opportunity here in some respect... What I mean is, they have been led to believe that the Nordic model is the ideal system - if we could educate them on how the Nordic model creates wealth, then perhaps some of them may be converted. It's got to be a start if you could get them to champion the free market, if only in certain sectors.

You Go PR BX Girl !
She is a typical east coast or west coast modern leftist so far as I can tell . So , yes , very radical in comparison to what is considered publicly acceptable where I live. To put it into context here , Joe Donnely ( dem senator from this state ) cannot carry 41 percent of the vote in this county with more regtd people of his own party than any opposition party .
