Bezos has vastly more power than AOC. His decisions affect the lives of 840,000 direct employees and at least as many again - I'm not sure the figures even exist - "freelance" content suppliers, small businesses, and casual workers. His tax avoidance policies have a significant impact on the budgets of the larger Western countries. AOC has a media profile, but - so far - almost no influence at all on US policy. That may change in the future, but given that the Dem Establishment seem to consider her a dangerous extremist, it's possible she'll be sidelined into becoming her generation's powerless token left-leaning icon. |

> the Dem Establishment seem to consider her a dangerous extremist
They invited her to speak at the Dem convention. That makes her mainstream.
