The media focus on hazy topline numbers is a gift favoring the tiny # of holdouts. It lets them get away w/ saying “oh I want X trillion, not Y” instead of actual positions- “cut childcare” or “I want to block making Rx drugs affordable” People should know what they want to gut — PolitiTweet.org

If Facebook’s monopolistic behavior was checked back when it should’ve been (perhaps around the time it started acquiring competitors like Instagram), the continents of people who depend on WhatsApp & IG for either communication or commerce would be fine right now. Break them up. — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
It’s almost as if Facebook’s monopolistic mission to either own, copy, or destroy any competing platform has incredibly destructive effects on free society and democracy 🧐 Remember: WhatsApp wasn’t created by Facebook. It was an independent success. FB got scared & bought it 💬 — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but a $1T bill = $100 billion/year. That’s the annual budget for NYC alone, but spread thin for everyone in the US. Do you think that’s enough to be impactful? To be widely felt in people’s lives? It’s not. Sufficiency is the bare minimum. — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
$350b means we slashed down to tuition-free community college & pre-k, keeping Medicare age but add vision & dental, housing and EV investment, clean energy standards. Far less than what we wanted, still impactful. Slash that by 2/3 and people will hardly feel we passed anything — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
Yup. $350 billion per year for the entire country on infrastructure, climate, healthcare, etc is far, far below what we’d invest. What we actually wanted is tuition-free state schools, lowering Medicare age,& Green New Deal-scale investments like national high speed rail/maglev. — PolitiTweet.org

Moderates make up a sizeable chunk of the party. The 4% of members threatening the full agenda of a moderate president are not moderates. How would you describe these demands: Fossil fuel subsidies, protect the rich from taxes, keep prescription drug prices high? Conservative! — PolitiTweet.org

Yep. Means testing = more bureaucracy, red tape, & waste. That’s why programs where means testing gets implemented are less popular, not more popular. It’s also why many people who are eligible for means-tested programs still don’t get healthcare or help at all - it’s too hard. — PolitiTweet.org

Sidenote but I have intro’d legislation to direct the US government to reformulate the US poverty calculation to reflect real life. There are challenges to this, some political - an accurate measure means poverty line/pop will jump & that has implications https://t.co/mePVzOUVTR — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
This means there are likely a LOT more poor people in the US than we admit. Policymakers know this, so they try to compensate by drafting some federal policies at 150% of the fed poverty line, etc. But when the measure is SO nonsensical, even 150% of pov line has little basis — PolitiTweet.org
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC
Even if you’re a person that fully believes in means testing, the US doesn’t even measure poverty accurately to use for a means test. The US measures poverty at 3x the cost of min food diet, assumes worker has stay at home spouse for childcare, and doesn’t factor cost of living. — PolitiTweet.org
