AOC: Removing Horrific Trump Wont Solve Our Much Deeper Problems
Freshman congresswoman says the president alone isnt the problem. Its the party that embraced him.

He can stay, he can go. He can be impeached, or voted out in 2020, she wrote on Twitter, then added:
But removing Trump will not remove the infrastructure of an entire party that embraced him; the dark money that funded him; the online radicalization that drummed his army; nor the racism he amplified + reanimated.
Ocasio-Cortez said those deeper problems included income inequality, racism, corruption and a willingness to excuse bigotry. And those, she wrote, cant be fixed with an election:
Its not as easy as voting. It means having uncomfortable moments convos w/ loved ones, w/ media, w/ those we disagree, and yes - within our own party, too.
Its on all of us.
