Congressperson says US president and Marco Rubio are tearing apart transatlantic alliance
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has accused Donald Trump of tearing apart the transatlantic alliance with Europe and of seeking to introduce an āage of authoritarianismā, as she condemned his administrationās foreign policy in front of its alliesā top policymakers at the Munich Security Conference.
Speaking at a panel on populism on Friday, Ocasio-Cortez outlined what she called an āalternative visionā for a leftwing US foreign policy, challenging the Trump administrationās shift to the right in front an audience of US allies who have grown increasingly wary of the USās increasingly nationalist ā and militaristic ā global posture.
In her remarks, Ocasio-Cortez said Trump and Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, were ālooking to withdraw the United States from the entire world so that we can turn into an age of authoritarianismā, as they sought to ācarve out a world where Donald Trump can command the western hemisphere and Latin America as his personal sandbox, where Putin can saber rattle around Europe and try to bully our own allies thereā.
I think the issue is that running this piss poor canidates doesnāt encourage the voter base to vote and there will always be a percentage of the population that will not vote for a woman.
When elections are decided by a couple of percentage points and you run a bad canidate then the sexists get to decide the outcome.
Kamala and Hillary were bad candidates and not progressive. I still voted for them, but Iām sure a lot of people were turned off by their politics and/or gender.
The elections would not be decided by a couple of percentage points if the Dems just ran with popular policies. Bernie Sanders has clearly shown time and time again that even people as far right as Fox News fans would support him because of his progressive policies. Zohran Mamdani won despite active hostility from Dem Leadership and his opponent getting billions of dollars of support because of his progressive polices.
What this tells me is that if the Dem party threw their weight behind progressive candidates, they would do FDR numbers. In fact, it seems obvious that FDR doing progressive politics is the reason FDR did FDR numbers.
Is this not the logical conclusion my comment?
I swear some people read comments only to try and manufacture an argument
