FYI, old white guy trolls are no problem for her.

Say what you want, she wants to "Legalize it" , in fact hired a pro marijuana politico.
and wants MOC's salary's tied to the shutdown.
Less than a month in, name someone in congress who walks the walk more than that? I'm still learning about her, but those are 2 big pluses, IMO.

The former director of federal policy for the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) has joined the staff of newly sworn-in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) as a senior counsel and policy advisor.

Dan Riffle, who most recently served as communications director to former Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) and a legislative aide to former Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), will bring his expertise on health care and tax reform to the freshman congresswoman’s team at a time when her proposal to raise the top marginal tax rate is dominating headlines.

i read a great piece about how women of color especially are basically torn down if they succeed but refuse to frame their success as 'the system works and everything is fine'. like if they stand up and use their position to put a spotlight on injustice they are essentially slandered as entitled/demanding/etc.

basically the playbook for all the hysterical pearl clutching being focused on her right now.

a considerable portion of which, btw, is coming from the mainstream/centerist left.
