During a recent rally in Idaho, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez addressed the attendees alongside Senator Bernie Sanders, condemning Republican efforts to divide people by race and identity. She emphasized the importance of unity, stating that attempts to foster divisions are tactics used to distract from unpopular agendas. Ocasio-Cortez critiqued billionaire influence in politics, particularly targeting figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump, linking their actions to a broader anti-identity politics agenda that has implications for the Democratic Party and social cohesion.
Don't let them trick us into thinking we are enemies. Don't let them trick us into being weak and thinking we can be separated into rural and urban, black and white and Latino.
The only chance they have to get away with such an unpopular and hurtful agenda is to stoke deep divisions along race, identity and culture to keep us fighting and distracted.
