OCASIO CORTEZ With your ░░░░░░░░ question about why we ░░░░░░░░ t defend social democracy ░░░░░░░░ from these bad faith ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ there s a lot ░░░░░░░░ people that don t ░░░░░░░░ us to have a ░░░░░░░░ democracy and they are ░░░░░░░░ governments and they are ░░░░░░░░ in the Democratic Party ░░░░░░░░ Applause and you know ░░░░░░░░ I m not allowed ░░░░░░░░ say that I m ░░░░░░░░ to get in a ░░░░░░░░ of trouble when I ░░░░░░░░ back to work Laughter ░░░░░░░░ it s you know ░░░░░░░░ think that there are ░░░░░░░░ of it that are ░░░░░░░░ There s a lot ░░░░░░░░ people it s no ░░░░░░░░ in government that go ░░░░░░░░ this rotating door and ░░░░░░░░ would think that when ░░░░░░░░ leaves governments they would ░░░░░░░░ and go back into ░░░░░░░░ different form of public ░░░░░░░░ that they would become ░░░░░░░░ professor or they would ░░░░░░░░ a community or they ░░░░░░░░ work with unions But ░░░░░░░░ when politicians leave government ░░░░░░░░ go and work for ░░░░░░░░ And that tells you ░░░░░░░░ about the coordinated interests ░░░░░░░░ are in cahoots all ░░░░░░░░ regardless of party It ░░░░░░░░ just you know I ░░░░░░░░ the industry s tend ░░░░░░░░ be a little more ░░░░░░░░ And so so I ░░░░░░░░ that there s just ░░░░░░░░ people that don t ░░░░░░░░ to defend it There ░░░░░░░░ some people that want ░░░░░░░░ quiet down this idea ░░░░░░░░ within the Democratic Party ░░░░░░░░ then blame it on ░░░░░░░░ constituents and say Oh ░░░░░░░░ know they won t ░░░░░░░░ for that It was ░░░░░░░░ we don t fight ░░░░░░░░ it.”
