Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Elon Musk “one of the most unintelligent billionaires” she has ever met.
She criticized DOGE for placing unqualified 19-year-olds in Treasury positions and failing to do “their homework.”
Musk’s team has accessed the Treasury’s $6 trillion payment system, raising security concerns. Ocasio-Cortez warned of his “lack of intelligence and expertise,” calling him “morally vacant.”
DOGE has also shut down USAID and moved it under the State Department.
I honestly think she has a real chance, TBH, although I can see the two cases where misogyny helped donvict into office…
I’m sure the cons and “liberal media” would do everything possible to paint her as the second coming of Karl Marx, though…even if most Americans actually agree with her policy positions on nearly everything, when you poll people on the issues.
But many Americans still think that Hillary (!) is some kind of radical leftist. Or that Obama is. Or that Biden is, or Kamala…after a while, trying to paint every single candidate as a Deep State radical Marxist fascist Communist socialist globalist (and every other stupid term they use with zero understanding of words) is going to wear off but still she has a HOOHAA is not white, so…
We live in a country where black men gained the right to vote before any woman did.
Misogyny is the original prejudice.
Hilary Clinton was the victim of a twenty plus year campaign to paint her as a bad choice for POTUS despite being one of the most qualified candidates in history.
The argument that the Butcher of Libya would have run the machinery of empire much more competently than Trump isn’t an argument in her favor. I still wouldn’t be able to bring myself to vote for Trump for harm reduction, but calling her qualified to hold a position which every holder in modern history has done things we hanged nazis for isn’t the argument you think it is.
In a slightly saner world she would be nobrainer. Smart, young, active, has enormous support base. In current US political climate being smart and young is a disadvantage and being a woman is a political suicide, unless you’re very, very conservative.
I’m not so sure, Obama overcame being Bla, 2x, and part of that was due to him being smart (and young), I’m sure.
He.
