    Like it or not, people need political leaders to follow.

    Also, AOC has the advantage of representing a district in New York City, the media capital of the world. She probably wouldn’t be as well known if she was the Congressmember from Topeka

    This country will never, ever vote a woman in as President. The “What I see as a leader” (sexism) runs too deep.

      They said the same thing about a black man being president. We are obviously not ready yet but we will get there.

    Read all the posts here. Most of them are correct in some way.

    • She threatens populism from the economic side forcing the corrupt MAGA politicians to care about ‘fake news’ like ‘affordability’
    • She threatens insecure dudes by being smart, attractive and speaking spanish
    • She threatens the political republicans because she actually interacted wth the public instead of going to an ivyleague college and being taught to speak folksy by a speech trainer
    • Won’t somebody think of the lusty christian men?

    So she’s like perfect ragebait for every right winger

      Right Wingers lost their minds over Jimmy Carter, a Christian, Naval academy graduate.

      They need to stay mad, because being angry makes them feel powerful.
