About that... https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1354848253729234944

AOC is such a firebrand. I love it. Not a lot of politicians who give me the sense that they're actually fighting for me.

How does that tweet make you think she is fighting for you and not just for publicity?

Words have context around them

Why would it make me think any different? She's right.

Because she’s been there for quite some time now and achieved very little legislatively.

The extreme grandstanding for her Twitter followers got her boxed out by her own party. She’s now just the lady with the socialist hot take for the evening news without any real means to change anything.

She's still a house representative, being known at all is a massive first step in such a large body.

She's also just survived her first election as an incumbent. Two years in the house as a freshman with a Senate and president that would block everything anyway is not a time scale where you can reasonably expect to have massive legislation passed.

She reminds me of Trump in his early primary days.

Lots of zingers on Twitter - no experience - no compromise.

You just described 75M Trump voters...

I wish she would tone down rhetoric sometimes - There is a lot of straight-up factual fire to spit, and Ted Cruz did not literally factually try to murder her.

She could have made her point without that phrasing.

He did endorse the would-be murderers. Major news networks literally played video of people on the floor of the chambers saying "Ted Cruz wants us to do this". https://www.google.com/search?q=cruz%20wants%20us%20to%20do%...

And the guy that got caught telling people to assassinate AOC during the riot, blamed Trump in hindsight; while his prior tweets made it exceptionally clear that he did it of his own volition. That's called trying to blame someone else to save your own ass, blame shifting.

Democrats tried even tones for decades without much to show for it.

It is kind of hard to forget conspiracy to commit murder and sedition. She does kind of have a point ...

> Ted Cruz almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago

Well not that much of a watershed moment I guess.

Lmao I laughed so hard. "You can resign" XD
