AOC at Met Gala - "Tax the Rich"

[Hortensis]

65. We need to require a lot more of a CONGRESSWOMAN than irritating

people in and out of congress, as one of us put it above. Low goal. Irritation's for influencers on social media.

To me it's amusing, and nothing more, that a young socialist got to participate in one of the nation's most elite elite's fun social events and found a way to make a statement to her little donors that literally covered her ass.





Because the only thing that matters is her role in TAXING THE WEALTHY, INCREMENTALLY, UNTIL THEY HAVE TO SELL OFF THEIR ESTATES AND MOVE INTO THEIR GATEHOUSES. Mostly metaphorically speaking, but liberal Democratic voters of 80 years ago did that by electing enough liberal Democrats to control congress and the WH for long enough (12 years!). And those representatives literally taxed the very wealthy of those days out of their palaces.

We're once again committed to eliminating the new wannabe ruling classes RW powers have been creating (during a period when voters didn't give us the power to stop them). But we have to finally have ENOUGH POWER FOR LONG ENOUGH TO DO IT.

So when Ocasio-Cortez rallies young people to vote for the Democratic Party, she is fighting for wealth redistribution and taxing the wealthy. Anything that threatens to weaken our party, works against that goal.

Because we're the only ones who ever did and who will ever be able to do it. It's OUR job.

Eyes on the big goal, as Nancy describes below.
