AOC's Fundraising Power Play

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently contributed $260,000 to the Democratic Party’s Voter Protection Program, an initiative designed to register voters and preserve voting integrity. It’s also a rainy day fund for the inevitable legal challenges the Republicans will mount in the upcoming election and most likely beyond. Leftists and Republicans alike will criticize this move and point to it as an example of her ever increasing turn to corporatism and elitism. As usual, AOC is damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t. In reality, we’re watching something bigger occur. AOC is meeting power where it lives and growing into the leadership role that will define the progressive impact on our politics for decades to come.

She is making all the right moves to become elected Dem leadership. I'm here for it!

[torrentialrage]

I get frustrated when the holier than thou online leftists demand purity from her. They want her to be an activist, accomplish nothing and burn out.

[flatliner]

Masterful. No notes. We are of one mind on this one.

Max once again proves why he is the voice of reason among leftists

I appreciate that AOC raised all that dough from small dollar donations and she stuck to her principles and didn't take corporate PAC money! I've donated to her in small increments also thru Act Blue. I adore her progressive energy and she's a proven fighter for us "little people!" 😊❤

Oh, that AOC. I have high hopes for her. Hopefully she doesn't pull a (long-term) Fetterman. That dude turned quick!
