AOC: The Rock Star without a Beam of Light

[1.3 Pages] [46 lines in MS Word]

I want to make this short and to the point. So here goes.

When I first heard of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she seemed awesome. Then hearing of her views and desires and meager background, she was downright amazing. I heard all of this on The Young Turks. They promoted her multiple times a day during their “Free Clips” and thus, all forward-thinking people stood with her, rode with her, supported her; whatever phrasing people want to use, they became a cult following.

I use the term, cult following, because people dubbed her AOC, made shirts, fan pages and raged against anyone who was not on their level of love for AOC. The only reasoning that was horrible was because they would spread her name, and message, but not use her as a measuring stick for all other candidates wanting to preside over the nation at any level of governing or enforcement. The fuel for this is/was The Young Turks who to this day, places Alexandria in one category: Superstar.

AOC has not been regarded as a human being but a symbol of internet “owning” and “twitter trash talking”. Rationally speaking: How does any of that aid in making lives better, getting the money-lovers out of government, and showing the racists how they only hurt everyone including themselves? Seriously ask yourself that…
