Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged countering the Trump administration’s policies by resisting at every turn, arguing that its incompetence makes it vulnerable.

Her remarks followed chaos caused by a rescinded executive order that temporarily shut down Medicaid portals nationwide.

She encouraged activists to take offline action, citing ongoing mobilization efforts.

Her strategy focuses on making governance difficult for Trump, calling his administration “dangerous and cruel” but also “shockingly dim.”

    I’ve been bitching about the lack of leadership from the Democrats for a while now - I’m glad to see that others are seeing it too.

        I made a comment recently going through the list of the campaign advisors for Harris which included;
        mostly C-suite executives, advisors for the richest peoples trust funds and literally a representative from New Orleans who had to step down after it was discovered he was the top recipient for bribes from the oil industry but is still apparently a great choice for directly advising the DNC.

        It’s not just one person it’s the whole of the DNC that’s like this. They bow to decorum while underhandedly stuffing their pockets with cash just like the Republicans. They just want it to look professional while they do it.

        They need to give a shit about others and the average citizen not just see this as their rightful place to make money because they deserve it for being better connected. That’s why we are in this mess.

        LBJ at least pushed for laws, he helped convince white senators to vote for the Civil Rights Act. I think if we had a second LBJ, we’d have something done.

        …I’d rather not have a new VIetnam war if that was the case, however.
