Ocasio-Cortez rips House Democrat over anonymous quote: ‘You should absolutely retire’
The Hill ^ | 7/14/24 | Sarah Fortinsky

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Sunday sharply criticized an anonymous “senior Democrat” who was quoted saying the party was “resigned” to another four years under former President Trump.

Ocasio-Cortez, in a post on the social platform X, said Democratic members who feel that way should “absolutely retire” from their posts in Congress.

“If you’re a ‘senior Democrat’ that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X.

“This kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people,” she added. “Retire.”

Ocasio-Cortez was responding to reporting from Axios about a shift among Democrats, who say they are focusing more now on their staffs personal safety, rather than on President Biden’s standing as the party’s presidential nominee.

“We’ve all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency,” a senior House Democrat said in the Axios story.

Democrats and Republicans have both largely signaled an effort to strike a unified tone in the wake of the assassination attempt on Trump’s life.

The Biden campaign has paused political activity, even taking down political advertising for the time being.

I think she accepts the WW2 era European model that regards Fascism as a right-wing ideology. In truth, it’s a kissing cousin of Stalinism. Both are quite far left of anything suitable for the western democracies.

Works for me.

Mouth bigger than brain syndrome.

That’s why she is driving around in a VW instead of a Tesla.
What a dumb whore.
