It's Time To Follow AOC's Lead
Ocasio Cortez is telling crowds that Trump and his people despise the working and middle classes. She's right.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is touring the country with Bernie Sanders and others from the populist wing of the Democratic Party, and she's being very clear about one thing: Everyone in the Trump administration loathes working Americans.
Not only does this happen to be true; it cuts through the right-wing populist bullshit we're expected to interpret as good-faith politics. It's a nice little combo.
AOC: Alina Habba said, “What intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.” I don’t care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isn’t just talking about me, she’s talking about all of us.

On today's Bad Faith Times video pod, I talked about AOC's incredibly effective strategy in this environment of competitive authoritarianism and how it might be leveraged by anti-Trump forces in the coming months and years. I also touched on the importance of social pressure in opposing Elon Musk's Tesla, whose stock has loft nearly half its value over the past six months.
Party at my house.
