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.
AOC is just another scam. Where was she for the past 4 years?
That’s what sheepdogs do, they lay low while the blue fascists are in charge and rear up once the red ones take control. Now that Republicans have shifted further to the right the DNC will fill the void left by Republicans.
Ratchet goes click click
It is a scam. Neo liberals control the democratic party and they serve the elite. They were never going to save us.
We need a true populist movement. The parties haven’t served us my entire life.
I’m 40 years old and I have never felt represented by my government.
55 here and it’s been the same
