While Senator Sanders is holed up in Washington in the impeachment hearings, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is out on the campaign trail campaigning for him.<\/p>\n
Yesterday Hot Air<\/a> reported on some of her efforts:<\/p>\n Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sure has an odd way of campaigning for Bernie Sanders. She doesn\u2019t mention his name.<\/strong><\/p>\n Last October, Bernie scored the coveted AOC endorsement<\/a>. What could be better than a young socialist with a huge following to endorse an old socialist who captured the imagination of the socialist wing of the Democrat Party in 2016? AOC, after all, volunteered for the Sanders campaign back then. She has a history with him. Last November he announced that she will fill-in for him on the campaign trail while he is doing his day job in the Senate during the impeachment trial.<\/strong><\/p>\n Michael Moore is also campaigning for Bernie Sanders.<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n \u201cIt is bold and it is a risk,\u201d she (Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) said. \u201cWe hedge our bets, we get more of the same. And the same has not been helping. So our job right now is to come together \u2026We\u2019ve got ten days left, ten days (until the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 3).\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The New York Democrat also called for the abolition of two federal immigration agencies \u2014 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). She also advocated for Medicare-for-all, and suggested that political leaders craft the nation\u2019s environmental policy around \u201cindigenous wisdom.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThis is not just about how we win, it\u2019s about how we heal,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez added. \u201cFrom our bodies to this land, we are going to need entirely new paradigms of public policy in order to heal.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s more than a little scary to me that currently Bernie Sanders is holding his own in the Democrat primary. I do wonder what lengths the Democrat establishment will go to prevent Bernie Sanders from winning the nomination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While Senator Sanders is holed up in Washington in the impeachment hearings, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is out on the campaign trail campaigning for him.
