I avoid Twitter like the plague that it is so I am not noticing these men on the "left" attacking her, but they're not progressives or leftist if they attack her, are they? Doesn't that automatically qualify them as right-wingers?

I've been waiting for politicians like AOC ever since Reagan came along and managed to convince 3/4 of the country that the government doing ANYTHING is bad. He didn't invent conservative hypocrisy (government military spending is a-ok but spending on communities that struggle is evil), but he made it an art form that still thrives.

AOC has done more to counter this message than anyone I've seen in a long time, including Bernie. That she expresses herself as a normal human being just makes her more outstanding. She's a national treasure.
