At some point in almost every political hopeful’s life, he or she takes pandering to a completely nonsensical level. It’s almost unavoidable.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has reached that level.
I think the biggest mistake that political folks make (press, campaigns, “strategists,” etc) is flattening the world into a 2-D, left-right lens.
More voters are Ind than Dem or GOP.
I grew up scrubbing toilets with my mom.
We don’t run from the “left.”
We run from the bottom. https://t.co/kowXGDOLJv— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@Ocasio2018) August 6, 2018
1.) Haven’t you also participated in that world view? You’re marketing yourself as a RAGING SOCIALIST. That’s kinda sorta left.
2.) Congrats. Most of us have done “dirty work” at some point in our lives. That doesn’t make you “just like us,” and the fact that you think that it does is downright insulting. You “run from the bottom” and want to KEEP people in the bottom. That’s what socialism does, sweetheart.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who are all, “You go girl,” and it’s nauseating.
I love this, Alexandria. Thank you.

Amen. I am not left or right. I hate those labels because they over simplify political beliefs.

This, my dear dear lady, is why YOU are the future of America. Not the fringe. Not the left. Not the progressive. You are teaching us ALL how to view news, view power and most importantly, view a better future. I am not able to vote for you. But I urge all people to support you.
