In their coverage of the Democratic National Convention, the New York Times reports that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Kamala Harris represents the "working class." Actually, AOC said "middle class."
Let's unpack this little error.
When she entered Congress, AOC was a "democratic socialist." It only took a couple years for her to come around to using the same rhetoric as other politicians. This apparently took even the New York Times by surprise.
One of the chief forces protecting capitalism in the United States is that so many workers identify as middle class despite having no prospect of owning their own homes or retiring comfortably. There is a vast gulf in standard of living between a doctor and a barista.
Politicians and journalists do their best to obscure these differences. We're all supposed to think of ourselves as being somewhere in the middle. But if you consult the data, the majority of us are struggling while a small middle class and a very small ruling class make out at our expense.
As long as we put our faith in politicians, however "democratic" or "socialist" they claim to be, we will always end up being betrayed. We have to build powerful grassroots movements against capitalism itself—understanding ourselves as the protagonists, not politicians.

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
