1. She is a far better communicator than her critics, as well.

Very impressive individual.

[czarjak]

4. But...

Did you ever fire people from fake jobs? That takes a stable genius.

5. And an asteroid was named after her!

From BusinessWeek:

MIT Lincoln Laboratory named the asteroid after Ocasio-Cortez, while in high school, because she won second place in a global science fair.

[Dave Starsky]

32. Holy Kuiper Belt, it's true! I had no idea.

She's like the living embodiment of Doc Savage.

33. LOL.

6. GOP's worst nightmare: a real, caring person with experience in the real

world.

27. That's why a candidate's RECORD is so important....not promises about what your WILL do, but what

you have already done.

9. Too bad she's not old enough to run for President...

I would vote for her .

[mithnanthy]

10. OMG! Thank you for this!!!

My husband and I used to BUST IT like this!!!! We met each other, dancing at a club (45 years ago) and we always danced to a modern style! This was the best exercise ever and we can still "bust a move". (I'm 72 and he is 63...) WOW! These were GREAT dancers. What a TREAT!

17. I have been tangenting too lately. Better check my medication. Time to recalibrate

my thinking.

[IronLionZion]

11. I love her attitude!

People still give me a hard time for having bad jobs in the past, including restaurant dishwasher. It takes a privileged douchebag mind to think that way.

[applegrove]

14. When i was in my early twenties and not using my degree i said there were

cool retail jobs (health food store, book store) and uncool ones. Later in life i found my favourite jobs were dish washing and cashier anywhere. I liked doing $40,000 + in sales at the campus bookstore at the start of term and being right on to the penny. To this day i love doing dishes. I can't wait to do them. Very therapeutic both. Every job matters. AOC is amazing.

[JoeOtterbein]

13. As a proud food-service worker for over 40yrs (ok, lots in food-management too, but):

I'm so proud we have a national leader who is proud to be one of us!

AOC sounds great to me!

[timms139]

30. Bartender

Republicans forget when they elected John Boehner a former bartender as speaker of the house.

[JoeOtterbein]

31. Hospitality

AOC is great if behind the bar with; front-of-the-house, cooks, managers, sanitation workers, housekeeping....

All of which are vital to proper food-service.

Here's a little story for ya;

When I was one of the key chefs at a prestigious hospitality operation, we had one of our biggest customers having an event. The main chef told me to tell the bartender that we needed "a pitcher of beer to steam the the shrimp." So, I dutifully retrieved the beer from the bartender.

Back in the kitchen, I took the beer and began to add it to the boiling water and spices we started to "steam" the shrimp. The chef yelled stop! Then he said; "You put the shrimp in the water, and you drink the beer you idiot!"

[myohmy2]

15. I'd...

...vote for her...

...

[ConnorMarc]

16. That Woman Is Going To Be President One Day

And I look forward to casting my vote for her.

[Caliman73]

18. Say what you will about AOC, she seems pretty damn near what we would hope for in our electorate.

As well as in our elected leaders. As others have said, she worked real jobs, is smart, pretty well informed, and does not forget where she came from.

Right wingers want to pin her down and define her disparagingly by ONE job that she has held. Even if she was ever only a bartender, she is a damn smart bartender. Why would you even use that as an insult unless you were an elitist? Isn't that what right wingers accuse liberals of all the time? We're elitist because we think education is a good thing. We're elitist because we like to read and stay up to date on things. We're elitist because we think life is about continuous self improvement and we realize that while we will never know everything, we want to try to know as much as we can.

Then they go and show their real hand by knocking a person for holding down a real job as a bartender. They mock a "working stiff" who made good, as if being a bartender means that you don't know anything. They say Democrats hate "real Americans" when they try to shit on a "real American" for having a "real American, non-elitist job". I guess it is a good thing right wingers have no sense of shame or irony or they might be suffering right now.

25. Great post.

You’ve expressed my thoughts on the subject very well.

[OriginalGeek]

28. More AOCs and Less Huckabees

would make a nicer world.

[flor-de-jasmim]

20. I can't be the only one to say this: she is truly out of this world!

[applegrove]

24. Yes.

[Kind of Blue]

22. She has an incredible perspective that's hard for them to keep up with.

[applegrove]

23. Yes.

[Wellstone ruled]

26. Reading these post,

something just reminded me of someone whom I called friend and would what we called in Minnesota,"Go to Coffee with",Senator Paul Wellstone. Remember how certain Dems and every friggin Rethug down right hated his positions. Funny thing,AOC is talking the same positions and Policies.

And I am proud to say,stood next to the man on many a Pickett Line or Community Organizing events.

Similarities,think so .

[Moostache]

29. Who's down with AOC? This whole PARTY!!!

You down with AOC?
Yeah, you know me!!!

Harm me with harmony!!!
