I agree. I wasn't predisposed to approve of her, but she has really shown me.

Tap the brakes...AOC is the future for Democratic Socialists and the Bernie supporters, NOT the Democratic Party

It's not for South Carolina to decide, and it doesn't have to be the presidency

Regarless of whether you think she's a kook or not, she's not an opportunistic grifter

OP wasn't saying AOC's a kook. Quite the opposite. OP was referencing her unfair and biased treatment by M$M vs Kirk n/t

OP is NOT implying Kirk is wonderful. The OP is about the unfair treatment AOC gets in the M$M compared to Kirk
