Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Elon Musk “one of the most unintelligent billionaires” she has ever met.

She criticized DOGE for placing unqualified 19-year-olds in Treasury positions and failing to do “their homework.”

Musk’s team has accessed the Treasury’s $6 trillion payment system, raising security concerns. Ocasio-Cortez warned of his “lack of intelligence and expertise,” calling him “morally vacant.”

DOGE has also shut down USAID and moved it under the State Department.

      I for some inexplicable reason feel optimistic about this. I think large majority wouldn’t mind as long as she had popular platform.

        If she had polulist conservative platform, sure, they will vote conservative anyway, and non-sexist part of the undecided could be swayed. With left leaning however, no chance. Her core base don’t vote so they will fall off, a bunch of left leaning people prefer to be outraged to solutions so they will not vote because she will check 99 boxes out of 100 and for those people it might as well be satan incarnate, and a bunch of centrists will not vote for no woman something something sandwich. The rest are racists and will be outraged that a minority has an audacity to talk.

            It’s actually pretty easy to be elected as a representative, those elections are way more connected to the people, it’s a local election and if you establish enough rapor with your community, you don’t need a huge number of people to get elected, local community rarely has conflicting opinions.
            It is so, so not the way presidential elections go it’s not even funny, and even suggest that it is can not be a joke
