      Anand Giridharadas Retweeted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

      The only thing better than @Ocasio2018's honesty about her finances would be a Congress full of members who couldn't afford rent without being paid. A Congress resembling the nation.https://twitter.com/Ocasio2018/status/1060982431765925889 …

      Anand Giridharadas added,

      Alexandria Ocasio-CortezVerified account @Ocasio2018
      40% of ALL Americans currently struggle to pay for one basic need like food or rent. As much as @FoxNews likes to mock the working-class, the real scandal is that at the wealthiest point in our history, we are at one of our most unequal. Most Americans are barely scraping by.

      You know what @Ocasio2018 means to me? Less an ideology than a glimpse of what it looks like when ordinary people, not plutocrats, lead the charge to "change the world." When the rich run change, they defang it. We must change whom we task to make change. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/539747/winners-take-all-by-anand-giridharadas/9780451493248/ …

          We vote for the lesser of several evils, because we need administrators to run the nation, however as far as social change, we need real social workers, you can count those types of politicians on one hand, and they are not socialist, the are social workers.

          Yea right, we need more socialists in the country. Most of us don't pay enough taxes already. People like you hate the rich because you're jealous. Nothing more. Ask Cortez how much money her parents have. Boohoo.

          She won’t change anything. She lacks the intellect. All that will change is her focus. It will be writing a book, speaking and getting on tv. Anyone that looks at her as anything but a joke deserves the disappointment.

          Completely agree about @Ocasio2018. Hope she and others can start real change in DC. Your book was eye opening and explained much of what occurred during my career listening to “thought leaders” and “executive coaches”. Would host local discussion.

          1. No you can’t donate to pay her rent. It’s against the rules. 2. She doesn’t need to live in DC before the new Congress. She just needs to be here for two weeks of orientation which is paid for by the House. 3. Starting Jan., she’ll get paid over $100K+. She’ll be fine https://twitter.com/blavity/status/1060943538509307904 …

          I think what she's done is great. I just think her ideas are terrible. I wish there was someone like her on the conservative side, but conservatives are much less likely to take a chance on someone that young...just the nature of conservatism.

          60’s civil rights was inclusive of all Americans, if you look at the way the laws were written, they were inclusive of ALL Americans.
