The radical Left isn’t taking Kamala Harris’s loss very well. They can’t cope with the fact that Donald Trump will be the next president.
And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a hilarious meltdown on camera that you have to see to believe.
The political landscape grew tense Thursday as New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attributed Kamala Harris’ presidential election loss to underlying s*xism in America.
Ocasio-Cortez, an outspoken figure on the Left, warned that the coming years under a “scary” administration led by “the fascist” Donald Trump would be challenging for millions.
“This is going to be a very, very, very challenging difficult time… for millions of people in this country,” she said in a somber Instagram video from her kitchen. “This is going to be a very scary time. I’m not here to sugarcoat what we are about to experience.”
Having campaigned tirelessly for the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket, Ocasio-Cortez expressed the deep disappointment felt by Democrats and progressives who advocate for working-class Americans.
She acknowledged that Trump drew significant support from “a lot of the working class” — a trend that, she said, has historical parallels in fascist movements gaining traction among everyday citizens.
Ocasio-Cortez didn’t fault Harris directly, noting that the vice president faced the monumental task of mobilizing a campaign in a short period. However, she oddly suggested that deeply embedded societal s*xism likely cost Harris votes, particularly in a nation that has yet to elect a female president.
If Kamala Harris was Tom Harris, we may have a different result today,” she remarked.
In a rare moment of acknowledgment, Ocasio-Cortez pointed out that Trump’s promises to cut taxes on tips and Social Security had effectively resonated with voters.
“Where it becomes complicated for Democrats is we are supposed to champion the working class,” she said, highlighting that Trump’s clear messaging on these issues had left Democrats struggling to respond. “It doesn’t matter that he’s lying. He’s saying the thing clearly. He’s saying it.”
Ocasio-Cortez urged her party to offer tangible solutions for the working and middle classes, such as raising the minimum wage and lowering the age for Medicare. Without decisive action, she warned, Democrats risk losing further ground to Trump, who has returned to politics more seasoned and prepared. “When he says he’s going to do something, believe him,” she cautioned.
She also raised concerns about the potential rollback of climate initiatives under Trump, predicting long-term environmental repercussions. “We will have to deal with the consequences for the rest of our lives,” she warned.
Ocasio-Cortez noted the increasing influence of billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos under Trump’s administration, as well as the potential rise of vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in federal health matters, including his interest in eliminating fluoride from drinking water.
“We’re talking about vaccines taken off the market entirely,” she said in a hyperbolic statement.
As Democrats process the loss, Ocasio-Cortez emphasized the importance of unity among Leftists.
She urged supporters to strengthen community ties and resist divisiveness, advising them to lean on each other and get to know their neighbors.
“We have to build community. We do not have a choice. Our choice is to continue to fight,” she said firmly, adding, “We cannot give up.”
