Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denied claims that she is secretly wealthy, stating she is worth less than $500,000 and doesn’t trade stocks or take corporate money.
Her financial disclosures show modest savings and student debt.
Some conservatives on X, despite opposing her politics, praised her perceived integrity.
Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.
Says the guy posting on Lemmy in the middle of the work day.
Oh, I’m rich. I know it. I dont pretend not to be rich.
Careful you’re privilege will start showing as you find leisure time through the working day. People might start thinking your some bougie asshole.
Being privliged isnt being evil. Its when you’re not aware of your own privileges and it affects your decisions (especially as a law maker) that its an issue
Says the bougie asshole lecturing people about being poor and not understanding how actual people live.
Lol yeah a bougie asshole wearing tattered clothes and dumpster diving food
The bourgeoisie class is a subset of rich people

Not going to dox myself, but you can see from my previous comments that, yes, I dont buy new clothes or electronics and I dumpster dive for my food whenever possible

I’m not lecturing people about being poor. I’m calling out the person who is privileged and doesn’t recognize their own privilege
Based on what?
