Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is trashing President-Elect Joe Biden’s “revolving door” transition team of corporate insiders and special interests, calling it “horrible.”
During an interview with The Intercept’s Jeremy Scahill of the Intercepted podcast, Ocasio-Cortez was asked about Biden’s choice to give cabinet positions and transition team spots to Washington, D.C. insiders, McKinsey consultants, Big Tech employees, and Wall Street executives.
Scahill called Biden’s transition team a “corporate revolving door” while Ocasio-Cortez noted Biden’s seemingly total rejection of left-wing populism that has, in some cases, allied with right-wing populists on issues of stimulus checks for Americans and ending foreign wars.

If you stand with the Trump-Republicans or the far-left, you might be in agreement with her. If you are Uni-Party members, it’s a welcome sight.
What did she expect?
she is the gift that keeps on giving. I hope she continues to bash Biden and his useless cohorts in their “administration”
I have no problem at this point with burning the political establishment system down and she is welcome to pour as much gasoline on the fire as she wants.
The disparate elements of the Democrat party all assumed that they would be able to dominate demented Joe Biden and now the struggle for control begins. AOC has not much in common with the interests of Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs, entirely sold out to China, has nothing in common with the needs of Democrat voting African-Americans out of work.
There are opportunities for Republicans here, perhaps in the House with the margin so fine, to break apart the very artificial confection of disparate interests that make up Biden's base.
Yes, by all means, what this Biden bunch needs are more airheaded, former bartenders (like AOC) running America. We need more incompetent Leftists in charge of everything. That will certainly straighten out the country.
Leftists cannot govern. They have proven that throughout America and the world.
She expected a seat at the table. She's finding out she's not even invited to the dinner, let alone sitting at the kid's table.
“She is the gift that keeps on giving. I hope she continues to bash Biden and his useless cohorts in their “administration””
I wonder if she might slip up soon?
“I mean, you know, why did we do all of that cheating if things aren’t really going to change, you know!?”
She knows the squeaky wheel gets the grease and she just has to open that gaping mouth of hers to get her minions to rise up.
The extreme left is waiting for the whore to take over. biteme was just a lever.
I'm not sure if people fully grasp the enormity of the vote theft that just happened, and it's ramifications going forward.
I can’t believe it; I kind of/sort of agree with her on this one.
I just hope its enough to divide and destroy them.
She’s right about the “horrible” part, but her solution is even worse. Imagine an entire administration populated by AOC clones!
Costa Rica, Thailand, Viet Nam, even the Philippines is looking really inviting right about now.
No way! The Stalinists are lurking behind the scene, chomping at their bits and licking their chops just waiting for the day after January 20th ... (that is,should Trump not prevail ... which is still out there!) Cheers!
If I were alone and without family obligations I’d look into relocating. Not out of fear of a fight, but rather the lack of unity on our side. We have people already looking toward winning the House back in 2022 & then the presidency in 2024. Their denialism is a tribute to the Uniparty and it’s daily propaganda.
I think there is just one McKinsey consultant, but I could be wrong.
This is one of the early shots fired in the entirely predictable internecine war about to break out even more publicly in the Democrat party.

Here’s hoping!
The theft as you point out was enormous and the ramifications are equally chilling. The fact of the matter is, or soon will be, that the Democrats have flat-out stolen a national election and have got away scot-free.
The ramifications include the stark reality that there is no single institution in America that is willing to stand against this mortal threat to our democracy. Not the media, not Hollywood, not Wall Street and big business, not big tech, not the Department of Justice, not the Senate, not the House, not the American Bar Association, not the Supreme Court or any other part of the justice system, not any prominent university, not, alas, the Republican Party as a whole.
In short, the rank-and-file of constitutional conservatives are alone and exposed. These are not people who take to the streets and riot, they are hardly likely to take to the streets at all and when they do, as they did as a Tea Party, they clean up their own refuse after themselves. These are hardly the stuff of revolution.
The ramification: the Democrat party is utterly free to commit whatever depredations the most extreme of its rapacious factions demand.
We are not without hope, but we are nearly without tools.
