Do you understand the assignment?
Last night on MSNBC, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) gave a response to the “face of the party” question worth watching if you missed it. Voters in line were heard calling out some of the Democratic establishment. They understood that they were not just voting against the Trump agenda and for Mamdani, AOC said. They turned out in numbers to rededicate the party to the needs of working people, and their cost of living and civil rights, as well as to defeat the old guard of the Democratic Party who are on notice.

Quoting AOC:

“We have a future to plan for. We have a future to fight for.” The message behind Mandami’s election is that Democrats who won’t do that together will be left behind. “Do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now?”
