A Reagan praising, Obama criticizing TV pundit is challenging @AOC in a primary on the issue of “jobs” - As a businessperson & entrepreneur who works in our economy & creates jobs, I can testify that @AOC is a million times better than her opponent for jobs and good wages. (1/8)
Look at @AOC’s agenda. The pandemic has made clear that our for-profit healthcare system is a mess & leaves millions behind. I also know firsthand that many businesses struggle with figuring out how to provide healthcare to employees. Under #MedicareForAll, we *all* win. (2/8)
In fact, @AOC’s primary opponent is a former Republican who wants to end Medicare, and called it a Ponzi scheme. In what world would ending Medicare be a strategy for jump-starting the economy? We need #Medicare4All not Medicare for None. (3/8)
Then there’s student debt. Anyone who understands the economy knows this $1.6 trillion could be used to buy homes or cars, start families, go to restaurants (actually enter the economy). As an entrepreneur, @AOC’s plan to cancel student debt is rocket fuel for job creation. (4/8)
There’s also the Green New Deal. Not only would it rapidly cut planet-warming gas emissions, but would guarantee thousands of new high-paying jobs in green industries. This is exactly the kind of proposal entrepreneurs like me flock to for the moral & economic benefits. (5/8)
Now, obviously @AOC’s politics don’t work for everyone in business. If your sole agenda is to cut corporate taxes or income tax for high earners, rather than an agenda that places workers first... then yes, you should probably find another candidate. (6/8)
And that explains what this primary “challenge” is really about. As this article👇 explains, the candidacy is being funded & encouraged by billionaires who don’t even live in the district. (7/8) theintercept.com/2020/04/15/aoc…
It’s fine for someone to run against @AOC or anyone else. But let’s be real about the debate. One candidate’s an extremist TV host, who wants to end Medicare. The other’s a true representative fighting for jobs & her constituents. Rarely is a choice so clear. (8/8)
