Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called for Democrats to elect “brawlers” who fight for the working class to counter GOP power and oppose policies endorsed by figures like Elon Musk.

Speaking alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders in Las Vegas, she criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for not filibustering a GOP spending bill and labeled the decision a “tremendous mistake.”

Ocasio-Cortez urged voters to support candidates willing to take bold stances.

She continues her “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with Sanders across Nevada, Colorado, and Arizona.

    Just hoping won’t ensure there are free and fair elections in 2026.

    I didn’t suggest it would. I’m saying don’t pre-emptively do the Republicans’ job of suppressing turnout for them. Get active now, don’t just snipe online.

    Turnout won’t matter if nobody protects democracy.

    Agreed. So what are you doing to make that happen? Aside from sniping at people online.
