Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just yeeted herself straight into the billionaire drama pit, dragged the New York Post, and lit it up like a Yankee Stadium firework show. ππΏ
So hereβs the piping hot tea:
Our girl AOC, 35, Congress slayer, and full-time capitalist slapper, woke up, sipped some iced oat milk espresso, and decided she had TIME. After Zohran Mamdani pulled a full political uno-reverse on Andrew “Iβm Still Here Somehow?” Cuomo in the NYC mayoral primary, the New York Post did what it always doesβfreak out like your mom when she finds your burner TikTok.
And BABY, the headlines? Messier than your group chat at 2AM.
One front page screamed βRED ALERTβ like aliens were invading, just because AOC won years ago. The other? βNYC SOSβ with Zohranβs face like heβs a Marvel villain destroying the city with free healthcare and rent caps.
And AOC was like, βHold up, not this tired billionaire fear-mongering storyline again.β She clapped back, serving anti-capitalist realness:
βBillionaires use the same scare tactics every time to divide working people. Itβs all to create hysteria and keep us from achieving the affordable, dignified life we deserve,β
Translation: “Jeff Bezos, stop crying. We just want rent under \$10k a month and a MetroCard that doesnβt give us anxiety.” ππ
She ended with, βWe wonβt fall for it anymore,β which is basically the leftist version of βyou canβt sit with us.β
TL;DR:
The billionaires are scared. AOCβs unbothered. Zohran’s snatching elections. And the New York Post is spiraling harder than your ex after you started thriving. πποΈ
