1. She gives me faith the US might survive in a reputable fashion! n/t

[onit2day]

8. wow. Just wow. Gives me hope.

[RKP5637]

10. She's so very outspoken about what is wrong ... gives more fresh air to the problems that need

solving in the US.

2. Woot AOC!

YOU go girl!!!

3. Not to mention the millions of dollars politicians can make after they leave office

as lobbyists or speechmakers for the corporations and banks they once had the power to regulate.

4. No wonder the RepubliCONs hate her so much!

In this short video clip, she shows everyone what they really are!

5. This is not the most watched political video. Obama had a number of videos...

that had millions of views each. The on-camera "negotiation" about the wall, w/Trump, Pelosi, Schumer, had millions of views. And so on. There are many that had a lot more than this one.

Not hatin' on your video, but I can only wonder about the need to make things up about the video.

11. She didn't make it up.

13. Oh...it's the most watched on TWITTER.

Twitter wasn't as big during the Obama administration. And it has to do with followers on Twitter and followers who spend a lot of time on twitter (translation: younger twitter users).

[PatrickforO]

16. Indeed. As to my favorite Obama video, that has to be the one

where he sings Amazing Grace.

He was SUCH a great president!

17. I love how she gets the right wingers to react

She scares them to death

6. Go AOC!

I am considerably older but she and I are in almost total alignment with our political view.

Faux News keeps saying her talk about significantly raising the top marginal tax rate is loony libtard nonsense but they need to look at where the top marginal rate was during Eisenhower’s entire 8 years.

9. Even LBJ's administration...right up until Reagan.

[JoeOtterbein]

7. More proof that AOC is smarter than 99% of the men, and all of the Republicans, in DC!

AOC is A-Ok!

18. That's good. But the OP title was misleading, since it's only for one platform....

That was my point. So it's good, but the OP title was misleading. Most people view videos on Youtube. I think it's probably a young following, not a cross section of the public.

[Duppers]

14. She makes it easily understandable for the fauxbots.

Perhaps even they can understand the problems.

15. This has been posted a crap load of times and I recommend it every time.
