Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s new project is proof of why we need more women in politics

has launched a new political action committee to fund other working-class candidates trying to run for office who would usually be discouraged by the Democratic party’s official campaign arm.

AOC launched the PAC to support both progressive incumbent Democrats and primary challengers alike whose positions are close to her own. It will stand as an alternative to the Democrats’ official fundraising arm, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee , which the freshman Congresswoman described as “an entrenched tool in a system that blocks working-class candidates from running for office, and protects out of touch incumbents”.

However, she has defended this decision, pointing out that she has given more than $300,000 to incumbent members directly, half of them in swing seats. For AOC, who got into the House after a successful primary run that saw her defeat 10-time incumbent Joe Crowley, this is also somewhat personal.

AOC Oh God no. What are you going to do AOC find them expensive suits fancy make up etc. etc. At least you set the bar low so that they won’t have to have much education to achieve what you have. I hope they don’t bitch and moan all the time like you.

AOC F U

AOC Did you know: Ilhan Omar is currently under investigation by the Department of Education Inspector General for student loan fraud She's also being investigated by ICE for immigration fraud I wonder if that's why she's fighting so hard to Abolish ICE? 🤔

AOC Of course. In her race for power and increase of greed, she will take out the knees of the very party she was elected as a member. She was created by a PAC so she will continue to raise her own in search of a higher office.
