The question is always: economic prosperity for whom?

[@Renee-xo8hk]

Thank you for representing the American people! So done with profit over people!!

[@ianalan4367]

She’s supporting Biden to stay in the race. He is a corporate democrat as they come. AOC is simply good at telling us what we want to hear.

[@Redoctobermach1]

@@ianalan4367you are dead wrong! She is supporting him because he has done more progressive policies than any other democrat. Don’t try to knock her, plus she knew he was the nominee and do not want for the orange mango to have a reason to take it to court when he does not win.

[@ianalan4367]

“Oh God,” AOC said. “In any other country, Joe Biden and I would not be in the same party, but in America, we are.” “I will be damned if the same politicians who refused to act then are going to try to come back today and say we need to find a middle-of-the-road approach to save our lives. That is too much for me,” Ocasio-Cortez said, after Reuters had reported that Biden was crafting a “middle ground approach” to combating the global threat.

Thank you, AOC, for reminding all of your committee members who they are SERVING!!!

[@mick-berry5331]

Whenever I see AOC talking and hearing her arguments, I cannot help thinking how much of a role model for politicians she is. If all politicians in the world would be like her, the world would be an incredibly better place. Keep up the good work. I am an observer from Austria.

[@ianalan4367]

mick-berry5331 - Like all politicians over here she says one thing but does another. She denounces corporate politics but supports Biden staying in the race who is as corporate democrat as they come. AOC is just another wheel in the machine.

3M has spent decades covering up PFAS in the water, and 3M hired me as a tech aide for $14.50 an hour and wasted my time. When police involuntary hospitalized me and charged me $5500 I think senior scientists at 3M and DuPont should have paid for it.
