AOC: I Don’t Associate Myself with Biden and What’s Happening in Gaza, But We Just Can’t Allow Trump Fascist Movement to Grow

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "You know, honestly, here's the thing. I think sometimes people want electoral politics to be -- overly identify with — it’s like, if you vote for someone they have to be the embodiment of you. And that’s actually something that I think Donald Trump provided to a lot of people where it’s like, if you voted for him and if you were a Donald Trump person, like, it symbolized so much. But I think what we have here in the situation is a more just honest thing. There are plenty of things that the president does that I completely disagree with. I think, you know, right now, what’s happening in Gaza, I can’t — I just — I can’t go on every single day seeing this. I don’t associate myself with what’s happening. But at the end of the day, we have to acknowledge that we just can’t allow this fascist movement to grow in this country. And what I think is actually hopeful about our politics is that we can exist outside of electoral politics in organizing our communities and standing with our friends. And, you know, if it’s coming down to this next election, for me personally, the decision to vote is not a difficult one for me, because, like, just because I’m voting for him doesn’t mean that he embodies everything about me."
