AOC: ‘Democratic Socialists Are Fundamentally Pro-Democracy’

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "And I believe that Democratic socialists are fundamentally pro-democracy. And we believe in the ballot box. We believe in respecting the outcomes of elections and governing democratically and ensuring that the ideas that — and policies that are implemented are won through popular vote and popular opinion. And so, I think that’s why so much of what we focus on is also making sure that we are providing for the majority of Americans, guaranteeing health care, raising wages, strengthening the right to a union. And I think that that’s, at its core, what we’re about."
