WFB: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) came out in support of striking Uber and Lyft drivers on Wednesday and asked her followers to boycott the rideshare companies, but campaign finance records show her team spent nearly $2,000 on rides through them in just three months.
The boycott call from the New York socialist comes as drivers for the two companies went on strike to protest for higher wages. One of the biggest protest sites is in Ocasio-Cortez’s district in New York City, which has been ground zero in the fight between rideshare and traditional taxi services.
Ocasio-Cortez asked her supporters through social media to participate in a one-day boycott of both Uber and Lyft, calling it a “small but big way you can help all the drivers you’ve met get paid more to feed their families.” more
“small but big”
The essence of nihilist/socialist double-talk.
By boycotting them (leaving them without fares) they’ll profit.
“We had to destroy the village to save it.”
Same shit they’re attempting with America – destroy it in order to rebuild it as a socialist “utopia” (no-place).
izlamo delenda est …
“…campaign finance records show her team spent nearly $2,000 on rides through them in just three months…”
The Insinkerator’s campaign finance records showed her team was a nest of crooks, too, but apparently, that was explained away. Look for the Uber/Lyft tweet later…
“The men who are complaining have never had to be a woman trying to get somewhere without taking a dirty + smelly cab.”
$2K in Taxpayer dollars. While she “backs” the boycott she’ll continue to use Uber/Lyft or another car service. Talk is cheap.
Uber and Lyft also use SPLC as their purported moral compass. Screw them. I deleted my app as soon as they announced that.
I have never Ubered or Lyfted. I don’t intend to, either. Does that qualify as supporting the 1-day “boycott”?
Valerie Ferret will be placing a call shortly to have Ms. Squirrel cease and desist. If she wants a Lyft again, she’ll have to bow to the chief of all leftist controllers.
This idiot is world class clown.
What happened to the money scan she got caught in? AG Barr?
Not surprising she is on that side since I read an article where a lot of Uber/Lyft drivers aren’t participating and would prefer to keep driving and earn an income rather than participate in a stunt that leaves them with zero income for the day. As if she really cares about feeding families – the woman that drove Amazon and six figures jobs out of NYC.
LCD…
I don’t really care about the political leanings of their corporate office. I drive for Uber. Not only do they have zero control over the conservative conversations that I have with my riders, they pay me the whole time I’m doing it.
Jokes on them.
Not nearly the rides she wants to take us on…
and she won’t get on her back when she’s giving us those rides.
Typical leftist. “Do what I say, but I can do whatever I want.”
