AOC on Why She Supports Bernie



Feb 21, 2020

“He has been fighting for these issues for his entire life…. He did this when it was least convenient. He paid the highest political costs. He was fighting for these things since before I was even born.” –Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

3. She inadvertently just proved that Bernie is ineffective at bringing about change

He has been fighting for these things for 40 years. And hasn't succeeded at getting any of these things.


He's an ineffective politician.



All the more reason to vote for Warren or Biden. They've actually gotten some big things done.



AOC just admitted that Bernie has been all-talk/no-results for four decades.

Just a bit of advice to Sanders supporters, you need to find a better talking point as evidenced by the responses above.
