Citing a new poll that revealed 81 percent of people overall support the idea of a bold and ambitious 'Green New Deal,' Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez celebrated the simple political concept that when you push for policies that are good for a majority of people, a majority of people like it.

2. She gives me hope.

And there are so many like her coming in to Congress.

She will make mistakes, but her message is so progressive and so people centered.
