Every time you guys talk about something you dislike about her, her ratings go even higher. I wouldn't be surprised to see this lady become a driving force in politics, or even go as high as running for President. She has guts, is articulate and smart, and takes no **** from anyone.
No other incoming Congress person has garnered the attention she has so far.
As far as I can tell, she’s made some powerful enemies - Andrew Cuomo, Bill De Blasio, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. And she cost the State of New York 25,000 - 40,000 jobs and billions of much needed dollars in tax revenue. I’m not sure she’ll even win her next election.
Exactly right, she has emulated the Trump Method to garner a massive platform at minimal cost. I imagine we can expect more of this now that the model is defined.
I was excited about her when she first came along, and still can't help but like her, but lately I'm thinking that "Democratic Socialism" is misguided. Venezuela has "democratic socialism," and it may have morphed into autocratic socialism. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-v...-idUSKCN1IL05U
78 pct election win, way more than Chavez, who won most but not all of his elections. His record was 60+ percent. And Chavez was always popular, whereas Maduro is definitely not.
That’s a feature, not a bug.
Ocasio-Cortez is not a Democratic Socialist as defined by Bernie as the European model. She says she doesn’t believe in markets, and those are market based economies. They’re really just high welfare states. But that’s not what this Green New Deal proposal tells me about Ocasio-Cortez. It looks to me like she’s a straight up communist.

Have you been to the district she represents? I have. Trust me, she will (unfortunately) win. She is a reasonably pretty latina. The people there think she is "mi gente", which could ill be further from the truth. Furthermore, those neighborhoods are full of people that are always gonna vote democrat (well the 4% tgat vote anyway). That district isn't upset about losing Amazon either. They don't want work of any kind, they just want their Section 8 and SSI money.
I been livin in NYC since 1986. She will be a lifer, and likely a shoo-in for President in 2028, seeing as the media machine gives her coverage that the Kardashians and Superbowl combined could only dream of.
...and it sickens me...
The only way it seems to unseat AOC would be to plant incriminating evidence of Hillary on AOC's person...

Shows you're not familiar with her district. She would have to be primaried, as no one (in enough numbers) in that district will vote for a Repukelican

Who says that those powerful democrats won’t make sure a democrat that could beat her runs against her in the primary? From what I read, voter turnout was like 4%.

Forbes reported that Pelosi and Cuomo have met about eliminating her district for 2022.
