38. Really, right wing opinion crap from the Hill?!

The comments on this post are sickening. The Hill "article" is an opinion click piece and basically an insult to AOC. Comparing her to trump in any capacity is meant to discredit her character and accomplishments. AOC doesn't spew misogynistic, racist bilge the last time I checked, she doesn't encourage lies about election fraud and martial law, nor has she attacked election officials doing their jobs. She is constantly attacked by rightwingers for speaking the truth, so nice to see "Democrats," helping them out. It is not true that she does not "filter" her comments, which are generally intelligent, and presented extremely well.
She has been very good at taking down certain Republicans, but I guess that doesn't matter to the supposed Democrats on this site. AND, AOC IS still a Democrat, but she is continuously bashed on this forum as some sort of freak, not a sitting Democratic congresswoman deserving of any respect. She fought for $1200.00 stimulus checks non stop, but that doesn't matter to the AOC haters. The policies she supports are progressive AND far past time.
My older kids voted Democratic in this election because of people like AOC, not Pelosi or Schumer, etc. She inspires them, their friends, and many others their age. They are the future, so I suggest maybe listening to what she actually says and does before piling on the hate. I haven't read anything about AOC's stance regarding the DNC, so perhaps she should be consulted.
Really disappointed in this site's hatred of progessive Democrats, which I also happen to be. I've worked with Democratic organizations where I live in CA, donated generously to progressive Dems, and most of these comments completely disgust me.
