Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Elon Musk “one of the most unintelligent billionaires” she has ever met.
She criticized DOGE for placing unqualified 19-year-olds in Treasury positions and failing to do “their homework.”
Musk’s team has accessed the Treasury’s $6 trillion payment system, raising security concerns. Ocasio-Cortez warned of his “lack of intelligence and expertise,” calling him “morally vacant.”
DOGE has also shut down USAID and moved it under the State Department.
If she had polulist conservative platform, sure, they will vote conservative anyway, and non-sexist part of the undecided could be swayed. With left leaning however, no chance. Her core base don’t vote so they will fall off, a bunch of left leaning people prefer to be outraged to solutions so they will not vote because she will check 99 boxes out of 100 and for those people it might as well be satan incarnate, and a bunch of centrists will not vote for no woman something something sandwich. The rest are racists and will be outraged that a minority has an audacity to talk.
The democrats get beat the fuck out every time they run conservative. They plummet in popularity if they get elected and then betray their constituents by doing what the republicans want. Republicans will never elect a republican-lite when the real thing is right there.
Meanwhile left policy polls overwhelmingly well among everyone, especially people who actually might vote democrat, and it’s even more popular once people start feeling its effects, as you can observe in any country that has free or near-free healthcare and public housing.
If her core base doesn’t vote, how does she keep getting elected?
