It is amazing to think that 2 yrs ago Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was a bartender... no trust fund, no relative-hookups to Goldman Sachs, no billionaire backers, and no obvious pathway to the most elite club in America. She ran for Congress, won in a miracle, and immediately galvanized a movement. She speaks her own mind, asks whip-smart questions in committee, pays her staff better than most, rallies progressive causes, promotes progressive candidates, and terrifies Fox News so much that they're obsessed with one millennial Latinx woman trying to make a difference.
If you ever think that one person can't make a difference look at AOC, the squad, and the hundreds of first-time women and POC office-seekers who have leapt into the fray without golden parachutes or corporate cash.
