That's true for any elected official as far as I'm concerned, since voter turnout is so poor. I asked because I see her on TV running her big mouth, but wanted some specifics. That's what I find pathetic. For all of her talking, she hasn't done THAT much.
the covid van was a very big deal, especially in consideration of how hard her district was hit.
Also has brought millions in funding for projects to her district. I could name the projects but you can look them up yourself. She is proud of her record and I think it is more than most reps bring in to their district. You can do the comparison. You might not be impressed, but it is more than most fairly newbees. Probably more, much more than her predecessor, but that is just from memory not analysis.
If you want specifics follow her on twitter. She does blab about her district wins often.

Then stay uninformed.
Your choice.
But better to be informed before you throw accusations.
Thats my opinion anyway.

I didn't "throw" anything. You were the one talking about all she has done, so I asked for specifics from you. I have no skin in the game, as she doesn't represent me. At the end of the day, she hasn't done anything extraordinary compared to how much she has run her big mouth about what she opposes. This was the same chick that claims she hates Amazon, but then shops at Whole Foods, hates rich folks, but then is seen at events for the rich. Using Twitter as a way to stay "informed" where there are endless troll accounts is comical.

I know she is supposed to be a "different" politician, but from what I can see, she's actually worse with her do as I say not as I do behavior, but then touting herself as somehow better.

You very specifically asked.
I very specifically answered.
If you don't care, don't ask.

Yes because you seem impressed by her, so I wanted to see how "informed" you are. She's thrown a few bones to her constituents, nothing more than most elected officials do. There's nothing earth shattering about that. That's my point. She's getting paid (and quite handsomely) to do what she does, but she is still a hypocrite. I'm just calling her out on her BS.

AOC is a beast on Twitter, bruh. She sponsored a lot of bills that never passed. She recited a lot of inspirational speeches to the masses. She does Instagram live. She cares about the environment so she drives a Tesla.

She drives a car that most of her constituents can't afford. If she was really about practicing what she preaches, she would drive something cheaper. My point is she claims she is fighting for the little people, but she is not living the life that many of her constituents do, eating at high-end restaurants, living in an expensive apartment and so on, so sponsoring lots of bills that will never be passed is nothing more than posturing. I don't live in a bubble. I'm very politically aware and I have seen her posts on social media platforms long enough. She's a hypocrite.

Don’t forget how she attacked Florida’s DeSantis’ keeping his state open during the pandemic but then she goes down there to vacation and is seen dining, drinking while going maskless and enjoying the open atmosphere there that she was criticizing.

She is a politician. Politicians just revise their gimmick to pander to the current audience.

She is building her brand and eyeing a bigger political office. Senator or President (god forbid). She definitely wants to secure a book deal, a netflix life bio, those sweet 220K public speech recitals, etc.

She list what she did in the below video.
