AOC's chat with Jon Stewart is the jolt Democrats need right now
"Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York spoke with Jon Stewart on his podcast “The Weekly,” Thursday. In a sprawling interview the two talked about the billionaire oligarchy Donald Trump represents and the state of the Democratic Party.
What makes Trump more dangerous this go-around, according to Ocasio-Cortez, is how much more he has been normalized by the elite class. Describing what we have been watching the past few weeks as a “billionaire feeding frenzy,” and “a kiss ass race,” AOC said that “the important thing for people to understand about this administration is that you’re being ripped off … everybody is being ripped off.”
Ocasio-Cortez was critical of the Democratic establishment’s reliance on clearly archaic social mores that are no longer effective, but warned against the nihilism inherent in rhetoric that both political parties are the same."
