'Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders have a shared vision for policy, sure, but also a shared sense of how movements work, grow, and sustain themselves.' Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn't just endorse Bernie Sanders:
the prison abolition movement. These are all just the beginning of the work ahead, but transformed the landscape of how we talk about these issues and imagine what might come next.
Sanders can boast of good health following his heart attack all he wants, but the aging senator will not be around forever. Ocasio-Cortez and Omar have graciously grabbed the baton and are willing to take the movement forward. Part of that work is rejecting the kind of incrementalism that many Democrats favor. This was also on display in the response to Ocasio-Cortez’s speech.
. “I am also looking forward to fighting for an America that treats healthcare as a right for *all* people, regardless of their age, income, or background, with #MedicareForAll.”don’t go too far, don’t go too fast politics that have dominated Democratic thinking for decades, but also refusing to be so committed to past reforms to the point of inaction. It’s reminiscent of Joe Biden insisting that we improve upon Obamacare instead of opting for Medicare-for-All, as if seeking a better solution to the nation’s healthcare crisis is an insult to the good that Obamacare provided to those who could afford it.
This is about fighting for the vision you want, not the fearful vision you believe—if you ask nicely, or compromise just enough—might be small enough to get.“Bernie Sanders did not do these things because they were popular,” Ocasio-Cortez said of Sanders’s progressive history and voting record. “He fought for these aims, and these ends when they came at the highest political cost in America.”
