but definitely a fan

I’m an older woman who respects these young, fresh voices! Bring ‘em on!

Thankfully, someone is not afraid. Thankfully, that someone is a woman. Reminds me of us when we
stood up for women’s equal rights. We were young, we were right, and we were unafraid.

I'm getting old, and it's really not my world anymore. I'm happy to see the AOC and others stepping up to the plate! With her green new deal, I can imagine what it was like at the turn of the 20th century and the change that was fought for then. The energy oligarchs will not give up their $$$ without a fight, and imo, this is all about the $$$.

when she went into so many things that will affect my children, Grandchildren, and their children when I am long gone. That this country has the ability to move into the 22nd century now and the resistance from Republicans is so evident. They see AOC as a threat to their patriarchial hold on this Government.

AOC can be the town crier to the younger voters that this is going to be their world and that they need to get their heads out from their derriers and get working and VOTE.

The 2020 Election is going to be a game changer for sure.

Pretty knowledgeable for someone so young.
Answered questions about the New Deal in a historical context nicely.
Se even thanked the head of the flight attendant union for helping to end the government shutdown.
She has an awareness of herself, of big ideas, and of human relations that add up to great congress member.

Publicans hate her.





(Pulican) is an old latin word for tax collector.

worried at first -- appearances on Colbert, initial issues with Pelosi, etc. -- but she's settled down and has become a good spokeswoman for folks who haven't had a lot of support.

We need more like her.

She cuts through the morass and is dead right with her views IMHO.

Go Girl!!

of activism of the late 50's and early 60's. Gene McCarthy,Hubert Humphrey,Tom Harkin,Bobby Kennedy,and the SDS movement persons. And the Washington and New York Press are just repeating the same stupid comments against the activist as they did in that time frame.

When you propose something that Changes the Bank Accounts of the Billionaire's,expect pushback.

I like how she keeps a step ahead. I think she would like a system that’s a bit different, but that’s not reality. She acknowledges this, and goes forward (not her biggest fan either)

She scares the repubs.
I like her.

And they wear the MAGA hats and the Q T-shirts.

with proposing an economy based on education, technology, health care and a clean environment rather than what we have now, which is an economy based on building weapons to fight the next war and selling those weapons to other countries.
Face it, the military industrial complex is this country's biggest jobs program. It has been since WWII. It's been the road to prosperity in this country for my entire life, and it's the wrong road. We are building aircraft carriers when the largest and most deadly attack on us in history was carried out by people armed with box cutters.

Millennials are the largest POTENTIAL voting block in the country.

And frankly, if they don't start voting in numbers, the Democratic party is doomed.

I was going to post the same thing.

people and get them to the polls. She is that kinds of person. Many are cynical of our government and rightfully so because in my opinion most politicians on both sides of the isle are more interested in donations than policy changes and corporations tend to have the deep pockets that can push their policies and that takes place more than just during election season.
The traits I see in AOC is that she is articulate, understands the world we live in and maybe most importantly is not afraid to tell it like it is. I am disappointed in the recent Green New Deal vote - it didn't show me any courage from our side but it is what it is. We need to be bold in our efforts and not be ashamed to challenge the status quo.

I don't agree with all of her positions, of course (applicable to any politician, some more than others), but she's innovative, fierce and she's a disruptor who makes the complacent old boys club sweat. Glad she's on our side.

I sometimes wish she would use her fire at targets that deserve it more than other dems.
But, she has a philosophy, she sticks to it, and she has courage.

She is not infallible. She is not necessarily the absolute voice of the future - there are other people her age. Getting into office young might make her influential, but not every young person is monolithically infallible either. She does lack experience and getting more might improve her.
