This.
One of the reasons I suspect AOC gets so much attention (apart from her very unabashed personality) is because she represents the Millenial generation, always ridiculed as being "lazy" and "coddled". Finally someone in Power who:
* is a millenial and
* understands millenial priorities
Ironically, the policy proposals that the most outspoken Millenials embrace would actually strengthen programs that help the older generation.
- Pocketknife 8y agoShe is getting lots of attention because vapid socialism is in fashion right now. She doesn't really understand the job she has, or how the government works. She is just making noise that sounds good to people who don't really think about policy implications. I wish the first millenial politician was at least competent... And did not sound like her qualifications were binging the West Wing. Seriously. Her "positions" are word for word out of the West Wing.
