Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez frasi celebri

“I ricchi e potenti che scatenano le guerre sfuggono alle conseguenze delle loro decisioni. Non sono i loro figli a finire nelle fauci della violenza. Spesso sono i vulnerabili, i poveri e i lavoratori – che non hanno voce in capitolo nei conflitti – a pagarne il prezzo.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Tweet del 3 gennaio 2019 Origine: Citato in No alla guerra contro l’Iran: oltre 70 manifestazioni negli Stati Uniti https://www.pressenza.com/it/2020/01/no-alla-guerra-contro-liran-oltre-70-manifestazioni-negli-stati-uniti/, Pressenza.com, 5 gennaio 2020.

“Mi chiedete come giudico il Presidente Donald Trump? Va cacciato dalla Casa Bianca. È un uomo corrotto, ha avvelenato il Paese con razzismo e xenofobia, ha minato la credibilità degli americani nel mondo, tradendo gli ucraini, abbandonando i curdi.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“Quaranta milioni di poveri non sono più accettabili e sostenibili per questo Paese, il più ricco del mondo. Nel XXI secolo negli Stati Uniti ci sono ancora 42 milioni di persone, in gran parte donne giovani con figli, che abitano in case con affitti impossibili da sostenere e che vanno stabilizzati. Ci sono ancora più di cento milioni di cittadini senza sicurezza sanitaria.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“Penso che sia sbagliato dire che ciò che sto proponendo sia polarizzare il Paese. Quello che stiamo vedendo ora è una classe dirigente creata dalle corporazioni e una piccola élite che ha imbavagliato il governo. I fratelli Koch possiedono tutti i repubblicani al Senato. Sono una loro proprietà. Non votano a meno che non loro non gli dicano cosa fare.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“Le persone sono abituate a parlare dei millennial come se fossimo degli adolescenti. Ma ora siamo tutti sulla trentina. Stiamo crescendo dei figli, ci sposiamo e abbiamo famiglie, e abbiamo mutui e dobbiamo pagare per i nostri prestiti universitari. È importante che il Congresso sia in contatto con questa realtà. Le persone tendono a interpretare la mia posizione come un attacco alle generazioni più anziane. Ma non si tratta di questo. È un problema di rappresentanza. Non abbiamo abbastanza rappresentazione intergenerazionale. Siamo governati in larga parte da una generazione sola. Questo non vuol dire che questa generazione dovrebbe essere senza potere, ma che anche gli altri dovrebbero essere qui.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“Quello che il presidente sta cercando di fare è minare il concetto stesso di verità.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“Autorizzare a votare gli americani che hanno già costituzionalmente il diritto a farlo è una cosa radicale? Davvero? Siamo a questo punto?”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“Credo che per Trump sia davvero insopportabile che una donna, giovane e figlia di una collaboratrice domestica stia contribuendo alla battaglia per accedere ai suoi documenti finanziari. Al danno si aggiunge la beffa.”

Frasi sulle persone di Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“Se Porto Rico avesse potuto votare nelle elezioni presidenziali, se avesse avuto due senatori, non sarebbero morte migliaia di persone. Te lo garantisco. È cinico e grossolano, ma è vero. Se fossero stati indipendenti, probabilmente migliaia di persone non sarebbero morte. Ma lo statuto politico dei portoricani e delle persone che sono state colonizzate dagli Stati uniti li rende cittadini di seconda classe.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“Porto Rico è una colonia degli Stati uniti. Il fatto che si possa nascere negli Stati uniti come cittadino americano e non avere diritto di voto e una rappresentanza federale è il motivo per cui sono morte migliaia di persone a Porto Rico.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“Sono una persona normale e sapevo che non sarei piaciuta a tutti, perché sono democratica, una giovane donna e latina. Sono liberale, ma questa isteria sta davvero andando fuori controllo ed è pericoloso e anche spaventoso.”

“I can’t understate how disturbing it was that CBP officers were openly disrespectful of the Congressional tour. If officers felt comfortable violating agreements in front of their *own* management & superiors, that tells us the agency has lost all control of their own officers. Congresswoman Madeleine Dean: We were met with hostility from the guards, but this is nothing compared to their treatment of the people being held. The detainees are constantly abused and verbally harassed with no cause. Deprived physically and dehumanized mentally - everyday.”

“We withdrew U.

So we are contributing to the surge in the first place. We’re engineering it, so that’s coming to our border.”

“If you’re mad that I think people SHOULD KNOW when Dems vote to expand ICE powers, then be mad. ICE is a dangerous agency with 0 accountability, widespread reporting of rape, abuse of power, + children dying in DHS custody. Having a D next to your name doesn’t make that right.”

“I was upset that 26 Dems forced the other 200+ to vote for a pro-ICE provision at the last min without warning… We can have ideological differences and that’s fine. But these tactics allow a small group to force the other 200+ members into actions that the majority disagree with. I don’t think that’s right, and said as much in a closed door meeting.”

“A lot of people commenting don’t know how Congressional salaries work. Each member is given a set amount that they disburse. GOP has refused to increase budgets in years to give hard-working staff a raise, which means people helping to run the country are getting paid $30k/year.”

“When we talk about the concern of the environment as an elitist concern, one year ago I was waitressing in a taco shop in Downtown Manhattan. I just got health insurance for the first time a month ago. This is not an elitist issue; this is a quality-of-life issue. You want to tell people that their concern and their desire for clean air and clean water is elitist? Tell that to the kids in the South Bronx, which are suffering from the highest rates of childhood asthma in the country. Tell that to the families in Flint, whose kids have—their blood is ascending in lead levels. Their brains are damaged for the rest of their lives. Call them elitist… People are dying. This should not be a partisan issue. This is about our constituents and all of our lives. Iowa, Nebraska, broad swaths of the Midwest are drowning right now, underwater. Farms, towns that will never be recovered and never come back. And we’re here, and people are more concerned about helping oil companies than helping their own families? I don’t think so…This is about American lives. And it should not be partisan. Science should not be partisan. We are facing a national crisis. And if… if we tell the American public that we are more willing to invest and bail out big banks than we are willing to invest in our farmers and our urban families, then I don’t know what we’re here doing…”

“The thing that people don’t understand about restaurants is that they’re one of the most political environments. You’re shoulder-to-shoulder with immigrants. You’re at one of the nexuses of income inequality. Your hourly wage is even less than the minimum wage. You’re working for tips. You’re getting sexually harassed.”

“Black folks are descendants of slaves that were imported, quote-unquote by slave owners, to the United States for the explicit purpose of cultivating crops. And it was predicated on white supremacy and racial superiority, but we have to understand that white supremacy exists for a reason, and they exist for a very specific cultural and economic reasons. And LBJ talked about this — like, if you can convince a poor white man that he’s superior to a black man, he’ll empty his pockets for you. And so it’s not just economic reasons why racism exists but there are economic reasons why racism is perpetuated and incentivized. More of that’s housing, income, et cetera. And like I said on Monday with Ta-Nehisi, until America tells the truth about itself we’re never going to heal. And this — it’s like this thing that as a culture we hide… it’s like this big wound with a big ugly scab on it, and it’s just going to stay this itchy thing that we keep going back to until we just deal with it.”
