Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged countering the Trump administration’s policies by resisting at every turn, arguing that its incompetence makes it vulnerable.
Her remarks followed chaos caused by a rescinded executive order that temporarily shut down Medicaid portals nationwide.
She encouraged activists to take offline action, citing ongoing mobilization efforts.
Her strategy focuses on making governance difficult for Trump, calling his administration “dangerous and cruel” but also “shockingly dim.”
Incrementalism got us here. At some point, you have to realize that you can’t stop a flash flood by bailing with a solo cup and shouting “I’m helping!”
It’s a stalling tactic to placate chumps while they sell us all out.
This is like not believing in macro evolution.
Actually, I think a lack of incrementalism got us here. We incremented in the wrong direction.
Ever hear of punctuated equilibrium?
Sure is neat how Republicans get to do what they want all at once but we need decades of baby steps and half measures.
So it’s better to do nothing while they sell you all out?
That’s not what I said.
Don’t be so easily placated. They’re selling you out.
Who? Who is selling you out? Ocasio Cortez? Really?
Incrementalist democrats. Pay a tiny bit of attention.
