The difference between me and Trump. - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez



I want MAGA to have health care and to be paid a living wage, because I believe in fighting for everyone - whether they support me or not.

And that’s the difference. - 10/21/2025.

I look to her since my actual Rep. is Stefanik and the only town halls she's ever had were via phone - where she blocked constituents who disagreed with her or asked questions she didn't like. The last I heard about her was that she went to a building dedication up north - where she was boo'd off the stage when she attempted to speak...

and you know my representatives don't represent anybody but stupid Trump. I mean, Lindsey Graham, for God's sake, the Trump Toady of all Toadies. If Trump asked him to turn himself inside out, he'd die trying. I love AOC and Jasmine Crockett. They are fire.

I regularly get her newsletter since she is in New York and is a better representative for me than Stefanik!
