🔰The assignment is to fight fascism. _ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

I have to tell you, as I was out at polling locations today, as much as Democrats were talking about Trump, they were also angry with the Democratic establishment and they were calling people out like Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, who they felt at points, in their view, disrespected Zoran Mamdani during this campaign, that they should have shown him more support, that they had heard these Democrats say vote blue no matter who in the past, that that didn't seem to apply at this point. Do you think after what we're seeing tonight, there will be more unity in the Democratic Party? Are things going to change? Well, you know, I think it speaks to the absolutely heroic efforts that not just Zoran Mamdani put together, but so many people who participated and were brought together by his campaign. Because they were not just tasked with defeating a Republican, they were also tasked with defeating the old guard of the Democratic Party that essentially led us to many of the perils of this moment. So he had a two-front war to win, which is what makes his victory so deeply impressive. And I do think that this moment, a lot of people who are willing to talk about party unity when it serves them, but not party unity when it serves everybody, it puts those folks on notice. And I think it also puts folks on notice that we have a future to plan for, we have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. And I think that that is not a partisan issue, it's not about progressive, it's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is to come together across difference no matter what.
