Ocasio-Cortez Says She Won’t Sugarcoat What’s About To Happen To The Nation

“We are about to enter a political period that will have consequences for the rest of our lives,” the New York progressive said. “We cannot give up.”
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) said Wednesday the next four years under President-elect Donald Trump will be a “very, very, very difficult, challenging time,” but urged Americans to reject sectarianism and work to build back a sense of community.
The progressive lawmaker spoke to followers on Instagram as the fallout from Republicans’ extremely strong election showing solidifies. While Ocasio-Cortez said Democrats still had a shot to wrest control of the House of Representatives from the GOP ― which would “block some of the most heinous legislative proposals” ― the nation was on the precipice of entering an era of “fascism and authoritarianism.”
“This is real. And I’m not here to sugarcoat what we are all about to collectively experience,” the lawmaker said on Instagram. “But I think that what we can do to prepare is build community. We do not have a choice our choice is to build. Our choice is to continue to fight, our choice is to win, our choice is to have each other.”
“We are about to enter a political period that will have consequences for the rest of our lives,” she went on. “We cannot give up.”
Ocasio-Cortez went on to say it was far too early to point the finger at any one group or one issue that hamstrung Vice President Kamala Harris’ historic bid, saying in all likelihood it was “an avalanche of different things.” But she, like fellow progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders (I), said Democrats needed to reconnect with America’s working class.
