Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) recently asked her followers on Instagram why they had voted for her and for the re-election of Donald Trump. This prompted a flurry of responses, with many users pointing to the economy and the situation in Gaza as key factors influencing their decisions.
The economy was a major concern for many users, who felt that the current administration was not doing enough to address their financial needs. There was a sense that the country was headed in the wrong direction, and that a change was needed. Many users believed that Trump, despite his flaws, was better equipped to handle the economy than his opponent.… Continue reading

Following last week’s election, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez engaged in a social media Q&A with supporters, seeking to understand the reasoning behind voters who supported both her and Donald Trump. Responses highlighted themes of both candidates being perceived as “outsiders” and prioritizing working-class interests. While some found the responses perplexing, Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the importance of direct communication and community engagement, noting that online spaces often present a distorted view of public opinion. She acknowledged the challenges ahead, but urged continued activism and a refusal to give up in the face of difficult times.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not holding back. She’s not sugarcoating what she believes we’re all about to collectively experience. The upcoming term of a certain former president, and the policies he plans to implement, have her deeply concerned. She sees a pattern of authoritarianism, a desire for retribution, and a targeting of political opponents. AOC emphasizes the urgency of recognizing these warning signs and taking action through democratic participation.
She fears for the future, and she’s not afraid to say it. She’s calling out the dangers of a one-party rule with unlimited resources, a scenario she sees as a real possibility. The “optimists” who believe “they can’t do this,” “they can’t get away with that,” are simply not paying attention, she argues.… Continue reading
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently made a statement about Green Party presidential candidate, Jill Stein, calling her “predatory” for continuously running for president without making any significant progress in growing the party at the grassroots level. When I read about this incident, I find it amusing how the media twists her words into “lashing out”, when in reality she was just stating the obvious. It’s like having a basketball coach who never makes it to the playoffs, doesn’t recruit new talent, and consistently loses every season – would you still consider them fit to coach? I doubt it. AOC’s logic in this scenario is crystal clear, and it’s refreshing to see someone cutting through the political jargon and speaking the truth.… Continue reading
When I look at the current state of the Democratic Party, it feels like a scene straight out of a chaotic political drama. The unity that we once prided ourselves on seems to have crumbled before our very eyes, while the Republicans, who were once in disarray, now appear to have found a sense of cohesion. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, commonly known as AOC, has been vocal about warning anti-Biden Democrats about what could come next if they succeed in pushing him out of the race.
It’s disheartening to witness the internal strife within our own party at such a crucial moment in history.… Continue reading
As I sit here reflecting on the words of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez regarding Democrats who “resign themselves to fascism,” I can’t help but feel a sense of urgency and frustration. The idea that some in the party leadership may have already come to terms with the possibility of another Trump presidency is disheartening, to say the least. We can’t afford to be defeatist in the face of such a threat to our democracy.
Defeatism is a surefire way to guarantee defeat. We must embody the spirit of the greatest generation and stand up against the rising tide of authoritarianism. As AOC rightly pointed out, this kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people.… Continue reading
Ocasio-Cortez vowing to file impeachment articles against Supreme Court justices is a bold move, to say the least. And honestly, it’s about damn time. The state of our democracy is on a knife’s edge, and we can’t afford to sit back and watch as authoritarian rule creeps in. The fact that some of these justices have violated their oath of office by not following the constitution or the principles our country was founded on is a clear sign that action needs to be taken.
Sure, the chances of these impeachment articles actually leading to anything substantial may be slim, but the importance lies in getting these justices on record for their actions.… Continue reading
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has easily won the Democratic primary for her fourth term in Congress, and I couldn’t be happier. Despite not always seeing eye to eye with her on every issue, I must admit that she has undoubtedly left a lasting impression on the political landscape. From her eloquent speeches to her unwavering stance against online abuse and media scrutiny, AOC has proven time and time again that she is a force to be reckoned with.
I have observed her growth and evolution since the beginning of her political career, and one thing is certain – she does not back down from a challenge.… Continue reading
As I ponder the current state of affairs in our government, the announcement that Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and Congressman Raskin are taking steps to introduce legislation to hold the Supreme Court accountable piques my interest. The mere mention of subjecting the Supreme Court to the same $50 gift rule that members of Congress adhere to seems like a minute yet essential step in the right direction. It is disheartening, however, to anticipate the inevitable backlash and polarization that this initiative will trigger.
It is perplexing to witness the contention that arises over what should be a common-sense measure to ensure accountability within one of the apex institutions of our democracy.… Continue reading
