Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.
Lol, says the guy who's currently at the top of corrupting world-politics...
That's because she's actually trying to help people, and you don't get rich helping people.
she is worth less than $500,000
That sounds like a lot of money still, but I'd imagine public figures can easily leverage that to wealth so makes sense
She doesn't even own her own home, or she lives in a shark at that value. No second property: no cottage or landlording.
Man Americans are worth a shitload on average
Can we all please notice how under capitalism, you can refer to people being 'worth' a dollar amount? Money is something you have, it says nothing about who you are. I'm fine with having an amount of wealth, but your worth is not measured in dollars, that's fucked
Her salary jumped to like 20x what it was before she became a politician so she’s well on her way to beating them all in a decade or so
That's still 450k more than me
Look at Oysters Rockefeller over here showing off their 50g's
Wait.... Muskrat is accusing her of being rich?
It’s pretty absurd that y’all qaeda bitch about all the money that (insert lib politician) makes while throwing money or votes at billionaires who then turn around and accuse lib politicians like AOC or Sanders of being rich.
I hope that AOC has a security detail, a go bag and plan, and an ideal state to reside in. It is my expectation for Yarvin's Cabel to try to capture or assasinate her at some point, since she is one of the few major lightning rods to be the president of a Free America. We will need great people to organize the defense of our people against the fascist agenda.
Bernie, AOC, others, stay safe and strong. 🖖
