Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign store is selling union-made “Tax the Rich” tees, crop tops, and an “Abolish ICE Dad Hat” for $27–$28 — merchandise that turns grassroots fundraising into wearable irony.
Want to tear down the upper class and build a community utopia? Just buy this T-shirt!
For $27, you can purchase a 100% cotton “Tax the Rich” shirt from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign website.
Same price will get you a “Brawler for the Working Class” tank top. Or show off those abs you got from assaulting the NYPD in an AOC crop top.
Worried about looking like a hypocrite? Don’t fret — it’s all “union made.”
Worried about looking like a poseur? Can’t help you there.
“I don’t take money from lobbyists nor curry favor with billionaires so I can operate independently from revolving-door politics,’’ AOC says in a fundraising email, done up in fake cursive on fake Post-it notes.
Hers is a “grassroots” campaign. Though those roots are urged to give her up to $500.
My favorite: the “Abolish ICE Dad Hat” for $28.
What, nothing to cover the head of a “gestating parent”?
Models of various ages, races and genders show off the merch, but not body types. Everyone’s thin.
After all, the revolution is going to be televised — and podcasted, and Substacked, and Instagrammed — so you’d better look good.
