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.
Dear gods no she gave us Dr Phil it’s the tv version of the clap
I didn’t say she would (or wouldn’t) be a good president. I’m just saying people would definitely vote for her.
I’m not disagreeing with you, I’m just registering my horror early in case this happens. You know what they say, if you can’t be happy, you might as well be right.
