but they also got free healthcare! They go on to claim the slave had it better than free poor whites at the time. This is the education our favorite AG grew up on.

I'm happy for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and all. She won fair and square against an ossified old school Democrat. But I really bristle a bit at her elevation to celebrity status for simply winning a primary. She hasn't served a single day in Congress yet and she's jetting out to Kansas to tell folks in the heartland what they should do. As someone who has been in the politics/government game for a long time, I realize paradigms change (been through a couple paradigm changes already), but people should have to earn their spurs and get a few things done before they start preaching online. I don't want to single out Ocasio-Cortez because this kind of behavior happens on both sides (it's similar to Dave Brat's unseating of Eric Cantor), but maybe Ocasio-Cortez should get elected and worry about Queens first.
 
we disagree.

i find her refreshing and lament that during Obama years (D) was unable (incapable) to cultivate national personalities under 60 yrs of age.
Correct me if I am wrong but her general election is safe and for all intent & purpose by winning the primary she in effect won the seat ?

Was she invited to Kansas or did she just show up ?

We do agree that for someone of her experience she is getting an inordinate amount of coverage -- but something must be resonating
Without knowing anything about her or her positions I would vote for her for telling Ben Shapiro to take a hike.
