This is still the best political ad, ever. Seriously.

*"We can have Medicare for All, and we can do it NOW. It doesn't take 100 years to do this, it just takes political courage!” —Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez* (2018)

Still watching this in 2019! She is unbelievable!

Look at you now. It's 2019 and you won! And now you're introducing progressive legislation that is being brought to the national conversation. We are so proud of you. Cannot wait until you are old enough to run for President of the United States because you would have my vote in a heart beat.

"This race is about People versus Money. We've got People, they've got Money"
Such a great line, so perfectly delivered.

All the add is perfect (the music, the images, all the text), but this is my favorite part.

Go forward!!!

Who's here after AOC'S landslide victory in her Primary?

[SkankHuntForty]

Fast forward to 2024 and we see just how utterly unqualified and inept she is. 😂 Her term ends on January 3, 2025. Please, New Yorkers, stop electing bartenders who bring nothing to the table. 🤣🤣🤣

I'd vote for you if I lived in the city. I wish there was someone like you on Long Island. Good luck and I hope you win.

I had to leave the USA back in August 2018 because I just couldn't keep up. Working 18 hour days to barely support myself, my family and ailing mother. God forbid if my 2004 jeep liberty broke down or if I came down with the flu. The fear of my kids getting shot at school or at a concert or at the mall or at church. The tears I held back because my kid was being bullied for being Latino and shorter than the other kids. I now live in Europe. Life is different here. Healthcare is free for everyone. FREE! Food is incredibly cheap. My kid hasn't come home saying he's been picked on because of his last name, stature or even the fact of being American. I'm not saying it's perfect here. They have their issues, too. But I don't have to work 18 hour days anymore. On the weekends, I can actually afford taking the family to a near by town full of castles and history and literally eating a banquet. I am actually planning a family vacation to Paris, Rome, Madrid and London. Thoughts like that never even popped into my mind while I was living in America. Trips to Europe were for the rich. Plus who has the time to see 4 European cities? Well, I have a month vacation after my first year of working. I was born and raised in New York. I lived in Florida for 20 years. I love my country. And it broke my heart 2 weeks ago when I asked my son if he preferred living here or in the States, he said here. He's 11 years old. I wish Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had appeared in the spotlight 10 years ago. But she's here now. The people in America need her and people like her. I ran out of hope and I am getting older and more tired. I feel safer here. I can have dinner with my family every night and check my son's homework. Alexandria is right. Life in the USA isn't great for the working class. Every day that goes by just gets more difficult to endure. I'm 53 years old and I don't want to be a burden for my son when I get old. And the sensation of time creeping up quickly while living and working in the USA is noticeable when standing in front of the mirror. Now time has seemed to slow down. I can sleep late on a Sunday. Ironically, I'm not thinking about bills all the time anymore. I don't know if I'll go back to live in the USA. But l can tell the American person who is reading this right now. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is right. I live in a country where they have applied many of the things that she says and proposes. Life is better. Much better. God bless you all, chose your leaders wisely. She's worth it. I'll vote for her from here.

Who’s here after AOC’s lit AF speech @ the DNC 2024 in Chicago!!?? Let’s go!!! 🗳️🇺🇸

[tabinekoman]

We have people, they got money..

Genius lines.

[jmanci]

Fire her, she has her job while she ruins everyone else. Give republicans a chance, what do ou have to lose.

[internetpeople]

She is impressive at such a young age. She wrote this AD herself.

[LlerasFederico]

Fantastic ad. She is unquestionably the most important member of Congress,

[commissar]

The undisguised Hispanic accent when she says "Puerto Rico" and "Ocasio-Cortez" is brilliant. And, of course, changing into flats on the subway platform.

[rrdetuh]

Sorry AOC, but your district in NYC is completely out of control and you should be there helping get the problems fixed. I don't think your going to be reelected because you let your voters down.

[oreettroll]

This is the best political ad I've ever seen. I wish I lived in your district so I could vote for you. Good luck on your campaign. :)

[eemage]

To me, this ad is just beautiful, and the outcome of the election, inspiring.

Who is still watching this in 2021 to feel so hope?
