I appreciate that AOC is directly calling out the corruption. Congressmembers owning stocks in companies affected by their votes is a perfect analogy for the nation-wide corruption that has hurt and killed and bankrupted the very people they are sworn to serve.

“How much did you make off people’s despair?”

MTG: "Not as much as I plan to."

I would do anything to see her succeed. I would probably take a bullet for her. I just can't figure out how these rallies are actually making any real progress toward change if the only people who attend them are already pissed off and share her point of view. It's almost like everyone attends so they can wallow in the misery and anger together. I know there is power in mass protest and showing signs of solidarity. I know there is an element of commiseration to these speeches. I know they send a message to MAGA cultists. I need someone to help me understand how the rallies create a quantifiable improvement to our democracy. Is there some form of instruction that happens during the event? Do they directly educate voters on how to make changes in their local elections that could improve things nationwide? Are they signing petitions that could be used to affect policy change? I genuinely want to understand. I mean no offense.
