Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called for Democrats to elect “brawlers” who fight for the working class to counter GOP power and oppose policies endorsed by figures like Elon Musk.
Speaking alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders in Las Vegas, she criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for not filibustering a GOP spending bill and labeled the decision a “tremendous mistake.”
Ocasio-Cortez urged voters to support candidates willing to take bold stances.
She continues her “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with Sanders across Nevada, Colorado, and Arizona.
I would like for them to split off from the party and start a new movement dedicated to fighting for the people. They have the influence to start a way stronger 3rd party than modern is politics has ever seen.
At bare minimum, they should band together as a new sect of the Democratic Party and establish that their ring of the party advocates for people instead of oligarchs.
Then you’ll have GOP for decades as the non-GOP vote splits between parties.
The US is solidly a two party system and you need to work within it.
They need to do a progressive takeover of the democratic party. Just like how the MAGA extremists took over the republic party
Exactly this. When the GOP had similar problems, they sparked the “Tea Party” that ended up taking over the party.
We need a “Guillotine Party” to do the same for the Democrats.
The “tea party” was never a third party. They were a faction of the republican party.
Correct. Which is how they avoided the spoiler effect.
lol I still would rather they just start a third party, but maybe I could get behind Guillotine Democrats
The third party spoiler effect tends to hand elections to the worst option on the ballot. Rebuilding an extant party accomplishes the same intent.
I agree with this. The time to split is now.
