Oh my:Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez kicks off 1st day of freshmen orientation w protest ⁦@Pelosi⁩'s office

183. Her response is informative

I get the impression that AOC was acting as a moderator. Showing respect and making room for activists AND most importantly letting them know that Pelosi is on their side.

We are working in a political environment with unprecedented anger because we have a POTUS who deserves it.

We are in a precarious situation similar to what McCaskill was dealing with in MO. She alienated the left by bragging about supporting Trump on immigration then calling out crazy democrats. GOTVers were left with having to encourage voters to at least support the statewide and down ticket Democrats when we were met with hostility towards her.

Not only do Democrats in the House have to develop and maintain relationships with the expanding youth constituency, they have be able to function as a legislative body.

Things have changed, elected officials have to respond rather than leaning on what clearly has not been working even when they have had power. Let's not forget that under inefficient leadership of republicans with competing factions, hostility grew within government and among citizens. AND more importantly, Obama still got re-electioned.
