More congresspeople need to do what AOC did -talk about accomplishments

23. Right. Even more, Maxine Waters is committed to democracy!

She fights for voter rights and opposes election interference/theft by ANYONE.

Comparing Waters with people who tried to illicitly set aside the will of the voters, even it was "only" the will of 6 million Democratic voters in a presidential primary, is an outrageously insulting comparison. In 2016 Maxine Waters protected the right of Democrats to choose their candidate against those who shamefully made it necessary. Shamefully. This wasn't a little thing just because it failed.

To me it's appalling that anyone here would have to ask why so many people disapprove of those who made it necessary for Waters to refuse to set aside the popular vote when asked. Accusing them of racism is just a nasty cherry on top of what it is that scares me.

And it's not Ocasio-Cortez herself but the millions who can be distracted by charismatic politicians from protecting even their own right to choose. She's no doubt mostly a decent person and is genuinely admirable in her passionate and talented involvement. But there are others to choose from who also are and who can be trusted to use their power to protect our vote. Like Waters.
