AOC has really surprised me. I initially thought she was too young and inexperienced to be taken seriously, but I've found that her positions are well thought-out; she is smart, charismatic, and a master at engaging people on social media, and she has a powerful team of smart people behind her. I look forward to supporting her presidential bid in 2032 or so though I'll probably be doing it from the beyond!

I am also cautiously optimistic about her and a few of the other newbies...refreshing, energetic, and has common sense...she will only get better over time...watching...
Anyone who double shifts NYC waitressing to help her family already has more character than 90% of the rest of Congress.
Real people ftw.
I am continually pleasantly surprised with her humanity, skill and ability to articulate common sense solutions that would benefit all of us....including the totally clueless rumpsters.
