Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez addressed Trump’s election win, urging Democrats to move past infighting and post-election rancor to focus on preparing for potential impacts of his presidency, such as tariffs, mass deportations, and censorship.

She criticized some Democrats for blaming the loss on “identity politics,” despite Trump’s campaign centering on white racial grievance and calls for white men to turn out. Ocasio-Cortez pointed to moderate voices like Reps. Tom Suozzi and Seth Moulton, who argued that supporting trans rights hurt Democrats, as misguided.

She encouraged people to engage in direct communication and join physical communities to combat despair and build resilience.

    I am definitely the former. Having an unread email in my inbox drives me nuts. So I basically never sign up for email newsletters.

      I unsubscribed from all my newsletters and subscribed to them through RSS where I could. That way I don’t have to be bothered unless i specifically want to read any updates!

        I used to do RSS but I would forget about looking at the feed for so long that there wasn’t much of a point unfortunately.
