Please make her leader of democrats ..please

[bodybalancer]

Omg this comment section is cancer.
She is great. We love her. She makes too much sense for some idiots to understand. Or maybe she just has too much heart for the heartless.

[williamatkinson]

She already booked her flight to Seattle to get inaugurated in Washington.

[jeezelaweeze]

These ridiculing comments about a first time US Representative who's obviously intelligent (regardless of your disdain for progressivism) are incredible. And as if this President's plans, policies, and communication abilities were above that of a stoned eighth grade dropout.

[stephensodyssey]

This woman can't debate and gets her facts wrong. When challenged to debate by Ben Shapiro she pretended he was making a pass at her as a way to decline the challenge.

[drawingangel]

Everybody, please educate yourselves and fact check her. She conned her way up. Come on America! Use your brains!

[mboiko]

Under her everything will be free...what can go wrong with that.

[supersomebody]

One the smartest politicians just became the youngest congresswoman ever. She is will fight corruption and the greedy evil republicans

[FluentlyFletch]

I'm from the U.K. and I've figured that with US politics, no one is EVER right. Literally ever. Climate change, gender equality and corruption seem to pop up all the time with both sides aggressively arguing their cause. I find US politics exhausting, it's sad that it's almost scared me away from not wanting to voice any opinion at all.

[justmyopinionokjustmyopini]

She's a rock star? She looks soooo insignificant.

[AngelAndros]

I saw her twice earlier this year, that was cool. I hope her kind heart melts a few others on all sides of the government.

[Raxcave]

She can't be worse then trump, love and support from Asia

[jeezelaweeze]

Here's a novel concept: Put more tax money into healthcare (which also--watch out!!--accepts people with preexisting conditions) education and housing, and where necessary raise some taxes (Don't panic; many countries still pay significantly higher taxes than we do) to pay for the aforementioned items. Affordable healthcare. Affordable education. Affordable housing. These are very important basics, sportsfans. We're the wealthiest damn country on the planet. How about we catch up to the rest of the developed world?

[musapatel]

superb performance by Alexandria we need people like her in USA politics for a safer world.

[jjoshua]

She's a female politician who right away is fighting for herself instead doing what she's paid to do and work for the public. That shouldn't be front and center above everyone else but that's how all of them are

[jeepdan]

If Ocasio can make it, anybody can!
Literally, anyone.

[toxicgossiptrainconductor]

What long island district is she talking about? I don't think any of them flipped

[ericthegreat]

They spelled "dumbest" wrong.

[fatprotestor]

She used to steal tips from other fellow waiters and waitresses
