god forbid Corp.s act in the interest of the broader community, from which they extract their wealth, rather than the narrow slice of the population who realize that profit.

She needs to keep doing what she's doing. Hopefully it's 2 years of this behavior nonstop. I enjoyed the social media hunt of Mitch McConnell. I think she should dial that up to 10 and storm everyone else's office on social media too.

Laura Ingraham, a Fox News host, also likes her personality or personally. Forget how she worded her compliment, but she prefaced it by saying "I'm gonna take a lot of heat for this". |

Trump and Ocasio-Cortez use the same tricks to win at politics
Quote: |
“Much like the way Donald Trump used social media in 2015 and 2016 to disrupt and energize people on the right who felt ignored, Ocasio-Cortez is energizing people on the left who felt left out of the process,” agreed Democratic strategist Mike Mikus. |

Ocasio-Cortez is gonna be around a long time given her current star power. They'd have to run Oprah to defeat her. She is talking about helping people defeat Democrats that aren't progressive enough but they still put her on the two House committees she asked to be on.

I like her response about being primaried.
It was basically: Good.
"We believe in primaries as an idea. We're not upset by the idea of being primaried. We are not going to go out there being anti-primary - they are good for party"

Knock Down the House is a thrilling chronicle of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s rise—and of the 2018 Democratic insurgents who lost.
https://slate.com/culture/2019/01/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-sundance-documentary-knock-down-the-house-reviewed
Quote: |
One of the most thrilling scenes in Knock Down the House is when she furiously dissects one of Crowley’s campaign mailings, an elaborate four-page foldout with an airbrushed photo of him taking up its entire cover. “Where’s Election Day?” she says, holding up one of her own mailers, a double-sided card with a cleanly delineated graphic design that prominently displays the day her supporters should head to the polls. “Where’s the date?” She rips apart the Crowley mailing’s emphasis on vague promises to “deliver” for his constituents—“that means pork”—and when she gets to the part where it claims he’s “leading the fight against Donald Trump,” she shoots the camera a look so withering it would make Jim Halpert flinch. |

That MSNBC video mentions this Politico article:
Why Trump's superfans dig Ocasio-Cortez
Quote: |
"AOC has what I call 'gameness' or competitive heart — the combination of grit, determination, fighting spirit that you can't coach,” Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, told POLITICO. “You either have it or you don't, and she has it big league." |
One thing that I think grabs people about Ocasio-Cortez is her age. When I see her youth (for a politician) and her energy (makes her seem younger than 29) it is just a huge contrast to the typical politician that is as well known as her. We normally have a lot of grandmas and grandpas on the national stage. Hard to even think of well-known folks under 40, let alone 30.
