she might not be an outsider but she seems to have a spine, supports the progressive cause and candidates. she is the way “lesser evil” that we should be settling for. she is also liked and respected by a lot of fringe gop voters. so there’s a good chance that in time she also get fulls house and senate majority.

    I dont hear much about what she's done for her constituents outside of social media posts attacking people or performative political actions. I dont dislike AOC but it is accurate to say she hasnt done anything of substance yet.

    I will say its clear who will be running for president though, her and newsom are both extremely obvious about it.

    Going after AOC for allegedly not doing anything for her constituents is pretty damn ignorant. You aren't going to find many House members who are as engaged as she is, and her constituents are overwhelmingly pleased with her.

    She is also one of maybe half a dozen House members with an effective social media game. You can belittle it as "performative" but engaging in public rhetoric is a big part of a politician's job. I wish every Democrat advocated as well as she does.

    It's funny that you are attacking her on social media by criticizing her for attacking people on social media.

    I think it's far more likely she runs for Schumer's seat in the Senate than the presidency. It's pretty much her's if she wants it.
