https://www.towleroad.com/2021/02/aoc-raised-1-million-for-freezing-hungry-homeless-texans-while-ted-cruz-vacationed/

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez launched an ActBlue campaign to help freezing Texans which has hauled in more than $1 million as of last night.

The funds raised by AOC were split between The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center, Ending Community Homeless Coalition (ECHO), Family Eldercare, Houston Food Bank,and Feeding Texas, organizations working around the clock to assist houseless, hungry and senior Texans in Travis and Dallas County, and beyond.

As Bryan Tyler Cohen noted on Twitter: The Senator from Texas saw a crisis and escaped to the Ritz Carlton in Cancun. Meanwhile, a congresswoman from New York whom that TX Senator regularly uses as a punching bag just raised a million dollars for Texans. One party works for you. The other works for themselves.

I really want to know how dumb assholes are going to spin this against AOC now. In the past they could complain about dumb behavioral things she did, maybe, but now she's actually rallied tangible aid for people at a time when one of their own totally abandoned them.

while he's not wrong, Conservatives view that is a positive for their side. they literally want everyone to totally fend for themselves because, to them, it's a symbol of strength and virtue while anyone who accepts help from others is weak.

Good actions are good actions - I dont like her or put her on a pedestal but I can recognize she actually did something great beyond speaking words

That was literally her only steam before, a bunch of words lol

They'll just try to say that she was "just raising money as a publicity stunt" or something.

They can't fathom someone truly doing something for others instead of themselves, so they'll vote for cruz yet again because thats the kind of selfishness they can understand

the question is whether more Texas constituents will be swayed to vote for democrats or if the republican voters who are also being affected by this will double down to own the libs who are also affected.

They'll probably say all that money is only going to "illegals" or something. AOC could save a busload of kids on camera and the right would come up with some way to spin it. "She probably was the one who endangered them in the first place!"

It's funny how the right goes on about how charities are so great and how Christianly they are for giving money to churches, and how it's better than government benefits, but then shit all over an act of charity.

well that's the thing. if Cruz stayed and made some sort of show about helping people we'd be saying he's trying to make it all about him and how dare he.

so he loses either way. maybe that's how some folks want it.

Sadly the option to just help them without making a big scene doesn't exist. If only such a thing was possible :/

Every day I wish my own country had a politician like AOC. I'm not sure we have a single one who is above the level of utterly contemptuous.

the situation might be improved by the media simply not caring about Washington politicians one-upping each other and just focus on local workers trying to help people but that probably won't attract too many viewers outside Texas anyway.

AOC has raised more money in her time in congress than Ted Cruz has raised for anyone other than himself, I bet.

I mean he's "losing either way" because the types of policies/governing he supports caused this. Him helping wouldn't completely mitigate that.

Still an unforced error to flee the country.

Lets be honest, this is some dumb ass bullshit right here. If Cruz stayed and helped people no one would give a fuck about the spectacle he made doing it. Especially not anyone he helped.

What youre doing is making an excuse for the guy.
