New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is rumored to be running for higher office in 2028.
Ocasio-Cortez addressed the speculation about her future.
And AOC was asked if she wants to be president. Her answer should terrify every American.
Former Obama chief strategist David Axelrod quizzed Ocasio-Cortez about whether she planned on running for President or challenging Chuck Schumer in a Senate primary in 2028.
There is talk that Ocasio-Cortez could pursue either path.
Ocasio-Cortez admitted that her ambition is to remake America in her socialist image.
“They assume that my ambition is positional; they assume that my ambition is a title or a seat,” Ocasio-Cortez stated. “And my ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country.”
Without tipping her hand, Ocasio-Cortez declared that she intended to turn America into the new Venezuela with government-guaranteed income and 100 percent socialized medicine.
“Presidents come and go; Senate, House seats, elected officials come and go, but single-payer healthcare is forever,” Ocasio-Cortez added. “A living wage is forever. Workers’ rights are forever. Women’s rights, all of that.”
Ocasio-Cortez then previewed what her Presidential campaign messaging would look like when she unleashed her class warfare attacks on Washington Post owner and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
“This was the elite saying, if you want this job, you just stepped out of line,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. “And we want you to know where the real power is, and it’s in the modern-day barons who own The [Washington] Post and own the algorithms, and we’re going to — we’ll make an example out of you.”
Ocasio-Cortez then doubled down on the idea that her dream was always to impose socialism on America, but the office from which she would achieve this goal wasn’t her main focus.
“When you haven’t been fantasizing about being this or that since you were seven years old, it is tremendously liberating,” Ocasio-Cortez went on to say. “Because I get to wake up every day and say, ‘ How am I going to meet the moment?’”
“And conditions change all the time radically. So I make my response less to an attachment to some positional, like, you know, title or position, and working backwards from there,” Ocasio-Cortez remarked.
Ocasio-Cortez then sounded like a Presidential candidate when she told Axelrod that what informed her decision-making was the process of how she could do the most to change people’s lives.
“But I make decisions by waking up in the morning, looking out the window, and observing the conditions of this country. And saying, ‘What move or decision can I make today that’s going to get us closer to that future, stronger, faster, and better than yesterday?'” Ocasio-Cortez said.
“And they are making decisions from that place,” Ocasio-Cortez remarked. “And I don’t want to make decisions from a place of, what’s in it for me? I want to make decisions from a place of, how are we going to change the country?”
Socialism has never made anyone’s life better.
But Ocasio-Cortez wrapped up her remarks by emphasizing that, when she does run for President, her campaign will pit Americans against one another, as she intends to stoke jealousy and rage at capitalism over what she claims are Americans who cheated to achieve success in life.
“No billionaire can stop that: No concentrated level of power and no elite, no gatekeeper, can prevent me from doing everything I can, waking up every day in service of the working class,” she said. “I can do that in the House, in the Senate. I can do that in the White House,” Ocasio-Cortez concluded.
