Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denied claims that she is secretly wealthy, stating she is worth less than $500,000 and doesn’t trade stocks or take corporate money.
Her financial disclosures show modest savings and student debt.
Some conservatives on X, despite opposing her politics, praised her perceived integrity.
Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.
Lemmy is small mastodon is a little bigger but still absolutely tiny compared to those other social media platforms. The politicians should be where their base is which is twitter and the meta platforms.
What you are saying is basically that they don’t care about doing the wrong thing in order to get votes. AOC has more than 10 millions followers on X, deleting their account and switch to the fediverse would be one of the most useful actions they could possibly do in politics. Personally i don’t expect anyone affiliated with the red and blue party to ever do something similar.
