At first glance at Cori’s defeat and her immediate action, I thought sour-grapes. But in reality, most notable leaders in defeat never give up until all options have been exhausted. A noteworthy example: Grover Cleveland loss his bid for the presidential election in 1888 despite being the incumbent. Cleveland returned for another chance at the Presidency in 1892 as the democratic nominee and won — defeating incumbent President Benjamin Harrison in 1892. Politics is not for the weak, but those with “Testicular Fortitude”. More recent is the former President Donald J. Trump’s bid to regain his seat of power. A story still being written. So…, go for it Cori despite the judgmental political pundits.

As she faced a defeat in the election, she expressed her frustration and anger by blaming external forces such as the opposition and corporations for her loss. Cori’s vocal outburst has raised questions about her resilience and determination in the face of adversity, as well as her commitment to addressing the influence of powerful entities in the political arena. (The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) spent more than $9 million to overthrow Bush’s candidacy. As Bush was seen as hostile to the State of Israel and an antisemite.

In American politics, it is not uncommon for politicians to experience setbacks and challenges during their careers.

By openly declaring her intentions to “Tear Down” the kingdom of her rivals and target corporations, she has drawn attention to the complex dynamics of power and influence in the political landscape.

One key figure in this narrative is Congresswoman Cori Bush herself. As a progressive politician with a strong social justice platform, she has been vocal about issues such as racial inequality, police violence, and economic injustice. Her confrontational approach to her opponents and powerful interests reflects her commitment to confronting structural injustices and advocating for marginalized communities. However, her recent outburst also raises questions about the effectiveness of such tactics in achieving meaningful change.

Another influential party in this story is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) or, in other words the apex of power and influence in the political and corporate world. By targeting these entities, Congresswoman Cori Bush is signaling her willingness to challenge the status quo and hold powerful actors accountable for their actions. This bold stance has earned her both praise and criticism, with supporters applauding her courage and detractors questioning her motives and “Gangsta” tactics.

Rep Cori Bush (D-Mo.) with anger and distain for the political establishment, In her concession speech she tells AIPAC and corporations, by pulling me away from my position as congresswoman, you pulled some of the strings off, thereby now radicalize me — AIPAC, “I’m coming to tear your kingdom down”, and she said I coming after you corporations as well, and you should be afraid.

While some view her statements as a bold and necessary challenge to entrenched power structures, others criticize her for engaging in divisive rhetoric and potentially alienating potential allies. The tension between idealism and pragmatism, between confrontation and collaboration, is a central theme in this unfolding drama.

By refusing to back down in the face of adversity, reveals Cori embodies the spirit of resilience and determination that is essential for transformative social change. Furthermore, her willingness to challenge the status quo and disrupt traditional power dynamics is a necessary step towards building a more trustworthy and equitable society

On the other hand, some may view Congresswoman Cori Bush’s actions as overly aggressive and counterproductive.
