I like how she says "we" instead of "I" or "me". Thats the sign of a real leader. She is really here for the people and for a better future

[Furtivo]

Forget left vs right....Top vs. Bottom is the real issue. Sustainability is not leftist- it practicality vs destruction. I need to keep up, not with the Kardashians, but Ocasio-Cortez.

[marrionbared]

I definitely can see her as the 1st woman president of US, don't mess this up people.

[harleyquiinnnn]

When I listen to her talk, it makes me want to study law and go into politics

[konabashi]

If she runs for president I would totally vote.

[rebeccashisema]

Im not even American but this woman inspires me

[andresortega]

Clearly those who don’t like her have never actually heard what she has to say. When you actually listen to what she says, she’s so amazing.

[Lieke.]

Imagine being called "progressive" for believing that health care is a right..

[Jordan-pxbl]

I don't understand how anyone can call this woman stupid

[kanalkucker]

I like that she doesn't seem to radical if you think twice. Those things are just reasonable, she doesn't want to burn down Wall street or something

[elizabethrodriguez]

I am Latina and in the working class. I am so proud of you for all that you have done and are doing. Keep up the good work. We need more people like you fighting for the working struggling class. Thank you so much. God Bless you and Family.

*reads comments to make sure no one disrespects AOC, the future US president, surpreme court justice, senator, and/or continuing NY representative*

[allylopez]

she deserves to be the first woman and hispanic president of the us. she’s exactly what this country needs and better run for 2024 she’ll be exactly 35 so NOT ONLY would she be the first woman hispanic president but she’d also be the youngest

[healthconsious]

Top vs Bottom- that is so on point. not dem vs rep, but rich vs poor. You ROCK ALEXANDRIA!!!!

[skdesign]

She has what a lot of politicians don't have ... integrity!!

[spunkiQT]

She KILLED it. I know AOC's said before that she's not really interested in running for president, but... please AOC?? Consider it?

[Pedrooo]

this is the best 13 minutes i've seen from a modern day politician

[hangerq]

These are the type of people who will save this country.

[quinnmorgan]

ATTENTION GEN Z: she is going to be 35 in 2024, we can put her in office. dont disappoint us.

[Ayzlxn]

As a guy who isn’t even American, I wish she becomes president. She is so inspiring, and relatable. She has gone through so much just like tons of other families in the world. She is right on so many things, and honestly deserves to be the president.
