Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denied claims that she is secretly wealthy, stating she is worth less than $500,000 and doesn’t trade stocks or take corporate money.
Her financial disclosures show modest savings and student debt.
Some conservatives on X, despite opposing her politics, praised her perceived integrity.
Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.
AOC feels like the only hope America has at any improvement.
I’m glad it seems that many democrats are quitting their Gatekeeping bullshit with AOC.
So frustrating to see people so concerned about the perception of some strawman caricature the right manufacture for our best fighters that we turn on our own. If it wasn’t obvious, they attack her so relentlessly because they fear her and know her potential more some of our own.
Nancy Pelosi dedicated the month before Trump was inaugurated to ensuring AOC, a spoiler leftist in a sea of her crony neoliberals, didn’t get an oversight committee seat.
Neoliberals Democrats hate actual leftwing politicians far more than they hate their fascist opposition party. Makes sense, Fascists and neoliberals have the same bosses and take the same bribe checks.
Nuh-uh! DNC only takes money from the GoOd billionaires.
There are no good billionaires. But pretending the techbros aren’t destroying society at a much faster rate than the old leaches who just sucked the country dry slowly, is just closing your eyes to reality.
I did the capital lowercase thing but only for the word good, so I can see how it is hard to miss. It was supposed to indicate sarcasm, but I probably should have extended the formatting to the word “billionaires” too
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the internet manifest:
1- blame her for having millions due to kickbacks
2- when she proves that her net worth is less than 500K make fun of her for having too little money
Because it’s ONE SIDED around here, just like Reddit… if a Republican said this EXACT same thing, they’d be crucified.
If a republican said "I’m ONLY worth 500k…you’d all be sing a different tune…
You’re right. If someone who only cares about money and their own self interest comes out as having none, well that’s just embarrassing. Having sold your soul for something you have measurably none of? Disgusting.
Luckily AOC has never done conservative shit like that. lol
Oh brother…
Oh brother indeed, at you trying to rile people up against AOC. I mean, you’ve obviously got a lot of thoughts dinking around in that head of yours; with what, the maybe 12 words you’ve contributed here?
Why don’t you explain yourself if you’re so god damned intellectually and morally superior?
I’m not trying to rile up anything, I’m just pointing out the double standard. I couldn’t care less for AOC. Good for her if she’s considered “less fortunate” as a politician. I’m just simply saying that if a Republican politician says the EXACT same thing, they’d be crucified around here…
