Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Elon Musk after he made a gesture during Trump’s inauguration resembling a Nazi salute.

Musk and his allies dismissed the comparison, calling such accusations exaggerated.

Ocasio-Cortez, however, called the gesture unacceptable, emphasizing America’s history of opposing Nazis and the Confederacy.

She also condemned the Anti-Defamation League for defending Musk, accusing it of losing credibility.

Her comments sparked broader debate on symbols, gestures, and their implications amid Trump’s return to office.

    Behold the one prominent US politician with any principles.

    And for that she will never be allowed near any real power…

      It’s one of the reasons reactionaries hate her so much.

      And also that she’s a woman of color who didn’t stay “in her place.”

      And it’s so annoying to hear liberals parrot the same shit because the conglomerates who own liberal media don’t want to change the status quo.

          He’s old AF, and a good person. He’ll probably die seeing the country he tried so hard to save slide into full on fascism. He deserves more than that.

            We really need him to go full on windy tits and call for action. I’m exactly one Bernie blessing away from being a radical.

          Only time I think I ever really got triggered about politics was when a friend of mine mentioned voting against Sanders just because he felt condoms shouldn’t be included in universal health care, no other reason.

      There’s a few more, but she’s the most charismatic. It’s a shame too, they tend to win more than their moderate counterparts during midterm races.
