<< AOC : “At a time when working families are fighting tooth and nail to makes ends meet while the Administration sells them out to corrupt special interests, we need to stand behind leaders who are accountable to working people and stand up to greedy corporations. Angie Nixon will do just that - from fighting for universal healthcare and childcare to proposing a national rent freeze. Angie will be an exemplary fighter for the working families of Florida and will do it all without a dime of corporate PAC money. Angie did not get here by yielding to major political machines, she did it by building community power and by fiercely committing to her values, and that’s why I’m proud to endorse her for the U.S. Senate.” >>

Revered Al Sharpton spoke and introduced US Senator Bernie Sanders and stood by his side during his speech. Revered Sharpton after US Sen. Sanders's speech then introduced AOC and stood by her side during her speech. And after AOC's speech, Rev. Sharpton introduced AFT President Randi Weingarten and stood by her side during her speech. It seems that speech was the last speech Rev. Sharpton literally stood by.

She adds: "If you are MAGA, and you're on social security, congratulations. Welcome. I'm fighting for your benefits too, because I actually believe that people should age with dignity in this country."

Why is AOC and the progressive movement so important?? Progressives are engaging in a push back/take back of our power and democratic/social/cultural values. Reading a couple books now that I highly recommend. The Nerd Reich and The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. Tech billionaires/venture capitalists are actively working to dismantle democratic institutions and replace them with corporate rule and "digital feudalism". They are using surveillance capitalism to track, collect, and turn your personal online and offline behavior into a profitable product which can be used to predict/control your behavior. I believe our democracy and society is doomed if we fail to heavily regulate them, hold them legally and politically accountable, and mobilize against them. I have hope that people are waking up to this and that is why democratic socialism is our way forward.
