Ocasio-Cortez, at an event in Las Vegas, Nevada, said Trump has “handed the keys to Elon Musk and is selling this country for parts to the richest people on the planet for a kickback.” But she also had sharp words for her own party.
“We need a Democratic Party that fights harder for us too,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “But what that means is that we as a community must choose and vote for Democrats and elected officials who know how to stand for the working class.”
Leftists: 
So if I there’s nobody on the ballot who I think will fight for working people I don’t need to vote for them?
No no, you must always vote against your interests, even if the person closest to your values doesn't like you or wants a better future.
So they'll support the working class now, right?
...Right?
Honestly instead of pushing me to the democrats, this has just gotten me to hate both sides, just hate one a little less.
We can do this the easy way or the hard way - not that a pressure campaign to reform the Democratic Party will be easy, but it'd be sure a hell of a lot easier than trying to primary them out or form a new party. We should try to change them but we need to prepare for every eventuality.
The fact is that nothing is going to change if we can't change or replace the Democrats first.
We're working on it.
In SF for example I've started working my ass off for Saikat Chakrabarti (former AOC Chief-of-Staff) to unseat Nancy Pelosi in 2 years.
Truly, for all the people I talk to who say, "but what can I do? I live in liberal stronghold X". NOW is your chance to do something important.
Hold your Democratic leaders accountable, contact them, threaten to throw all of your time and energy into supporting their primary opposition, make them sweat. If they don't step it up, follow through on your threat and start getting involved with alternative leaders who are ready and eager to fight.
As an Aussie watching what's happening over there, all I've got to say is that the days of honourable dueling are gone - your leaders need to understand that you're in a dirty street fight now!
Voters have had enough.
Ah yes, the tru endgame of "the highroad strategy". Simply doing nothing as the fascists pillage the Government. At least the Dems are holding their noses high as everything burns around them!
You need to do more than finger waggle, treat Republicans the way they treat us
