Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez addressed Trump’s election win, urging Democrats to move past infighting and post-election rancor to focus on preparing for potential impacts of his presidency, such as tariffs, mass deportations, and censorship.
She criticized some Democrats for blaming the loss on “identity politics,” despite Trump’s campaign centering on white racial grievance and calls for white men to turn out. Ocasio-Cortez pointed to moderate voices like Reps. Tom Suozzi and Seth Moulton, who argued that supporting trans rights hurt Democrats, as misguided.
She encouraged people to engage in direct communication and join physical communities to combat despair and build resilience.
This wasn’t taking the “high road” it was four years of Biden/Kamala and party leaders not taking the threat of fascism seriously.
If you read the article, she’s talking about “moderates” who are saying we need to abandon LGBTQ and become more conservative.
She’s trying to unify the Dem voter base in preparation of 2028, what does anything Republicans have to say matter?
Question:
If you read a headline and get upset, why not click the article first to see if you even understand what is happening?
*Especially" when the headline makes you mad at a progressive, and the owner of the “news website” is a shitty billion dollar corporation like fucking Comcast.
You think Comcast wouldn’t lie to people to ensure the only political options are fascists who are pro-business, or neo liberals that are pro business?
Hopefully she’s trying to unify the base in preparation for 2026. However, we’d probably all be better off if we abandoned the Democratic party in favor of a real progressive party that puts the needs of individuals over the desires of corporations and billionaires.
