Ocasio-Cortez is almost always being mentioned on Fox and some of the conservative forums I visit.

They’re genuinely terrified of her.

Imo, we need fresh people with new ideas. I’m tired of the Pelosi's of the world running the show. I see them right of center and opportunists whose policy views shift just to get votes, not because they’re acting in the interest of constituents but because it’s good for optics and to get votes.

I would love to see more debate on proposals such as increased taxes on folks earning more than $10MM. I support this if we can figure the np hard problem of how to spend that money. Seattle for instance has spent hundreds of millions on homelessness without any progress. It’s only gotten worse.
