Congressperson says US president and Marco Rubio are tearing apart transatlantic alliance
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has accused Donald Trump of tearing apart the transatlantic alliance with Europe and of seeking to introduce an “age of authoritarianism”, as she condemned his administration’s foreign policy in front of its allies’ top policymakers at the Munich Security Conference.
Speaking at a panel on populism on Friday, Ocasio-Cortez outlined what she called an “alternative vision” for a leftwing US foreign policy, challenging the Trump administration’s shift to the right in front an audience of US allies who have grown increasingly wary of the US’s increasingly nationalist – and militaristic – global posture.
In her remarks, Ocasio-Cortez said Trump and Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, were “looking to withdraw the United States from the entire world so that we can turn into an age of authoritarianism”, as they sought to “carve out a world where Donald Trump can command the western hemisphere and Latin America as his personal sandbox, where Putin can saber rattle around Europe and try to bully our own allies there”.
The elections would not be decided by a couple of percentage points if the Dems just ran with popular policies. Bernie Sanders has clearly shown time and time again that even people as far right as Fox News fans would support him because of his progressive policies. Zohran Mamdani won despite active hostility from Dem Leadership and his opponent getting billions of dollars of support because of his progressive polices.
What this tells me is that if the Dem party threw their weight behind progressive candidates, they would do FDR numbers. In fact, it seems obvious that FDR doing progressive politics is the reason FDR did FDR numbers.
Is this not the logical conclusion my comment?
I swear some people read comments only to try and manufacture an argument
