The AOC claims that we are at the “critical precipice of FASCISM” in the United States

Rep. Alexandria Acasio-Cortes in an interview published Tuesday, warned that the United States is moving toward “fascism” while criticizing her own party for not going far enough with Latino voters and leaning toward progressive ideas.

New York a democrat appeared on a recent episode of “Pod Save America,” where she discussed the bleak outlook for the left in the upcoming midterm elections.

She said that the dissatisfaction of Americans is not caused by the way the president is Joe Biden and his party have changed the country, but with the fact that they “need to do a lot more”.

Acacia-Cortes recorded the interview California on Sunday. On a flight to the West Coast, she said an emotional flight attendant approached her about the state of the country with an important election two weeks away.

“I was on a flight on the way out of there and the flight attendant just came up to me and she started to tear up. And she just said, “I’m just so scared. I’m just so scared. Are we going to be okay?” – recalls the lawmaker.

And what I really had to say to her was, “Look, I’m not going to tell you not to worry, I think we’re working very, very hard because we’re still on this very critical precipice of fascism in this country”. And it’s very, very real.”

She also sounded alarm about the Democrats’ loss of support from minority and working-class groups that have traditionally voted for liberal candidates.

“I can at least say that with Latinos, we never tried to become a party. The Democratic Party has not tried from the point of view of the Latino electorate,” Acasio-Cortez said, before dismissing Biden’s legislative failures on immigration.

“I mean, where is our dream law?” Where is our immigration reform?”

While she praised the president’s executive order pardoning thousands for marijuana, she suggested that even that was insufficient in the eyes of Latinos and Latinos.

“I really applaud him going there, but he freed people who were convicted when they were convicted when they were undocumented,” Acasio-Cortes said. “And that’s 90 percent.”

She added: “We really need to step up both the campaign effort and the management effort.”

Republicans, by contrast, “have no qualms about having an anti-immigrant message,” Acasio-Cortez argued, suggesting her fellow Democrats were nervous to take them on.

She said President Joe Biden’s executive order pardoning thousands of marijuana convictions deserves applause but fails to account for people who were undocumented at the time

“I think we’re afraid of that. And that segmentation gets in the way of a clear message, and that — the lack of clarity makes it hard to win people over, the progressive firer said.

She also urged Democrats to “be more aggressive” about decades-high inflation, attributing the skyrocketing costs solely to “corporate greed.”

“Inflation is talked about as some vague concept that we all experience, right? Prices are going up, but we don’t talk about why,” she said.

Acasio-Cortez called for a “real confrontation” with companies that are enjoying record profits, accusing them of overcharging.

Questioning what Democrats have done for the Latino community, Acasio-Cortez asked, “Where is the law of our dreams?” Where is our immigration reform?”

“Prices are rising not just because of supply chain issues. It’s really a lot clearer,” she added.

As for how Democrats can win back working-class voters, she accused them of being “too shy” to take on big business.

“I don’t think we’re being aggressive enough about corporate power,” she said. “I think it’s…I think our party is shy. We are too scared.”

Still, the progressive member of the Squad shrugged off a slew of gloomy polls facing Democrats ahead of the critical November election.

Still, she said the bleak outlook should serve as a “motivator” for left-leaning voters to turn out on Election Day.

“If Republicans take the House, they will say in no uncertain terms that they intend to support a national criminal ban on abortion or that they want to hold the United States economy hostage to cut Social Security and Medicare,” she said.
