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.

    No. He’s been holding “please fight the oligarchy” rallies while saying little to nothing on how.

      From what I’ve read, he’s being pretty clear about primarying moderate “Democrats” and voting out Republicans.

        Yes, which is… Not helpful. If that worked on its own America wouldn’t be here. There are massive obstacles all over that he’s just ignoring, and it’s that part of the equation that I’d call the “how”; voting people you like into office is just the victory lap.
