I'm confident that AOC is, on a personal level, a fine person and sincerely seeks to improve the lot of her constituents and our country. Her perspectives are a useful and necessary part of the mosaic that informs compromises that generate good decisions. My issue is the excessive attention that the media lavishes on her, as well as some other backbenchers (e.g., MTG, etc.), distorting reality and feeding false narratives.
What the media does is not AOC's fault. It is crazy that so many Americans have a knee-jerk reaction that AOC is a spoiled mindless liberal with crazy ideas. NOT. She represents some of the most conservative areas in NYState. Statin Island? Not exactly a haven of liberals. More like #MAGALand.
Are you nuts? I don't think AOC is a cult figure. She's just a youngish woman who ran for Congress and won. She WANTS to live in the political arena. We are lucky whenever we gain new faces who want to roll up their sleeves and do the hard work of governing. Her constituents who are from the Bronx and Queens - are NOT far left liberals. They're hard working, working class persons!
AOC is not fringe. I know her. She waited tables most of her life. I know that life. Give me and AOC a break!
