AOC proposes liberal policies, what I consider mainstream New Deal economics and what she has termed Democratic Socialism, like universal health care and a living wage for all who work.

It sickens me to see so many in post-Reagan America now consider ideas that help ALL Americans lead better lives so far out of the mainstream they are impossible to even contemplate, let alone achieve through legislation.
