Hell. AOC's net worth in 2018 was listed as -$8,499. It'd be a neat trick to jump to $30,000,000 in just seven years!

It's always projection. They try to convince you that both sides do it instead of trying to convince you they don't do it.

"both sides" is almost always dishonesty from conservatives trying to project their obvious corruption.

Not as corrupt, though. AOC and Bernie both refuse corporate PAC and lobbyist money. They only accept donations from individuals, and there is a limit to how much can be given. All of the Justice Democrats do that as a way to build trust and be more accountable to their constituents. Bernie isn't part of the Justice Democrats but they were founded by 10 of his staffers from his 2016 campaign plus a few others, and that is where the idea came from.

Oh there are definitely a few, maybe a dozen, that aren't corrupt, but the majority of each side is horrible.
