The moment she choked up about her dreams of becoming a mother, and then her grandpas death, and then colonial rule 😭 I’m bawling

i love that for years, men categorized women as too emotional to be involved in politics. fast forward to 2019, and we have the most hysterical, emotional president we have ever had in office who has committed human rights crises, ruined the lives of thousands upon thousands of families, and made horrifying policies based on his emotions. vs. AOC. I never want to hear a word out of republicans’ (who endorsed trump) mouths for the rest of their lives.

Everything she is saying matters and yet it's still business as usual for all these countries and corporations that aren't doing anything.

[docholiday]

Uncorrupt, intelligent and kind

She is my hero!!

[pranafoods]

Bernie put her in your cabinet as secretary of state.

[vinterborn]

Like I said before, I can’t wait for her to be president

[jaimedelgado]

One of the very few politicians that actually sounds like a human being. I stand with AOC.

[moisescarrasco]

Can anyone say Presidential Candidate Madam President Ocasión Cortez si se

[benchang]

The right is losing their s*** over this.

[johngoldsby]

What a wonderful speech. She asked us to chose economic equality over plutocratic profits, scientific facts over conspiracy theories and our children's future over intrenched apathy.

[ketfoen]

AOC for President, my god if she ever runs, i pity her opponent.

[ras-negusbloomfield]

She sounds like the future "MADAME PRESIDENT" to me...she's BLOODY ready for the highest office in the country!!!

[thecookingnerd]

Why do people have to be 35 to run for President, that seems so unfair 😡

[nathannomad]

You've got to love and respect our awesome sister Alexandria! What a fine caring human being she is! A shining star of progressiveness in a sea of sold out ASStroids that have screwed WE THE PEOPLE for far to long!

[SodaiGoku]

I love AOC! And she’s endorsing Bernie Sanders for President! ❤️

[KINGREXBABI]

A shining moment from a growing political revolutionary. Time for the worlds populus to stand as one and enact the change being blocked by our leaders.

[gopifatimah]

I love her speech but not this music. So distracting.

[electrafroot]

Love this woman! Future presidential candidate, I say!

[brianzuniga]

I'm glad she knows where she comes from ✊

My 7 year old looked at me and said “that’s a really good speech”. Kind of humbling when a kid that young even gets it.
