Summary
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a 35-year-old veteran lawmaker, spoke to NPR about her party’s path forward.
She predicts Republicans will face backlash over Medicaid cuts and federal worker firings.
Despite some Democrats suggesting a new immigration approach post-election, she maintains support for a path to citizenship and recently held a know-your-rights seminar that drew threats of investigation from Trump’s border czar Tom Homan.
AOC told NPR “everything feels increasingly like a scam” for ordinary Americans while government serves the wealthy well.
Unlike Trump, she opposes drastically cutting government agencies but questions programs like Medicare Advantage.
Because she could probably yell her political messages out of her window and reach more people?
Scammers goal is also to reach more people. Masodon is free and the best alternative to X, there aren’t many excuses not to have an account
Yeah and it’s also a politician’s goal. Do you actually think everyone who wants to reach a lot of people is a scammer? Like there’s no legitimate reason to want to reach as many people as possible? Did your parents drop on your head when you were young?
Someone with millions of follower already on meta and x who refuse to even create a mastodon account to me sound yet another corrupted politician or a scam
