i heart aoc

 Harry Truman once said, paraphrased because i can't actually be bothered to look up the exact quote which i saw only moments ago on another device, any politicean who becomes rich is a criminal. 

all the rich pols currently imhabiting DC came to mind, facelessly, unified dems and reps coaslescing into the famous visage of the criminal in chief and thought they're all like that, right/

then i pictured Alexandria. AOC . the people's rep. i have wanted her to be president since she first hit my brain. don't understand why she's still just a rep. except maybe it has something to do with her not accepting massive donations from corporate and other rich donors.

here's a woman, invited to the fashion event of the year where everyone attending is a celeb or rich or somehow in media, and she attends in a white formal with a long train bloodstained with the message writ large across her latina ass "EAT THE RICH".  smiles coyly over her shoulder as she walks up the grand entrance stairs. i don't think she was invited again.

she tours with the other honorable member of the chambers, senator bernie, or BERNIE! as the bros would have it. or would have had it if 2016 had been a fair race. if any of them were a fair race. because it appears that democracy, as some famous greek from way back once stated, is doomed to be ruined by the mob.

our founders recognised this, which is why the franchise was first only given to white, male landowners. once they began to include the rabble, electtions were up for sale. whigs and tories both hired immigrants to vote more than once in more than one election. so the history of voter fraud is written with receipts in many history books. which is why it seems a valid target for reform. however, modern methods of voting  verfication have made the need for outright bribery to be employed (witness musk spending millions in individual checks to voters in whatever state that was ). rather than actual voters making fraud, machines now do the heavy lifting. however, i digress.

i heart aoc because she was on the floor using her time to point out the hidden theivery being to afforded to members of the chamber whilst food stamp receipients can just fucking starve. i heart aoc because she is out there speaking up for universal health care. i heart aoc because she endorses mamdani and his policies. i heart aoc because she is representative of the people and she doesn't forget where she came from,  serving. she sees her position as serving, which is what the moniker "civil servant" means.  her job is to represent the people who elected her and she does it in the best way possible. by remaining among them.
