In reply to the discussion: What is your opinion of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? [View all]PoorMonger
(844 posts)She made some missteps early , I dont love her campaigning against long time Dems out in other states. I just think its hard enough for us to win some places - and so its not a good idea to pit Ds against each other when we dont have to.
Still, I support her ideals and I think she is learning the ropes in a positive way. She led protests outside Pelosis office , but for a good reason, and she defended Pelosi against Seth Moulton. Maybe shes a pragmatist for this but it also makes sense for a progressive; when shes pointed at thr right opposition thats awesome.
I believe her when she says that she cares for people and thats very important. She has a genuine way about her that is rare. She also clearly knows how to grab attention. Sometimes it might be a little much when we are in election season but I also think that her media savvy could humanize government and thats great.
She might not be polished yet. But I admire her fire. Dunno what shell do in the future but Im excited to see her grow as she gets her bearings.
