Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez illustrate contrasting styles in progressive politics. While Sanders emphasizes macro-level inequality and corporate greed, Ocasio-Cortez connects personally with her audience, using her experience as a waitress to emphasize health care and dignity. Their shared commitment to progressive ideals marks a generational shift; Sanders learned politics in the 1960s, while Ocasio-Cortez navigates her political education through the lenses of contemporary challenges, including the Trump era, demonstrating different methods to engage and energize their constituencies.
I don't believe in health care, labor and human dignity because I'm a Marxist - I believe it because I was a waitress. Because on my worst day, I know what it feels like to feel left behind.
The worst addiction in this country today is the greed of oligarchy.
