Agree - she would have to seriously moderate her politics.
"Moderate her policies"??
This is the 'old/ young' AOC:
See that line about a 'one term politician' not mattering if you go all out for the agenda you believe in for your constituency and not afraid? Really, AOC?
She is pretty far from this position as she, now, takes her cues from Pelosi on what she's voting on. The 'Squad' are fragmented and don't utilise their power as a 'block' effectively enough.
Clearly, talk is cheap.
Unless she sticks absolutely to the letter of her word that is no good.As politicians go though, she's true to her word more than most.

Then, NO-ONE will ever be good ever again!Unless she sticks absolutely to the letter of her word that is no good.
The squad…power…talk is cheap…
Methinks your political persuasion is getting the better of you!
What would one say of McConnell and McCarthy???
They denounce Trump & the insurrection ON THE FLOOR OF CONGRESS IN SPEECHES, then one runs down to Mar-A-Lago to kiss the ring (no, the other, brown one!), while the other flips his story and openly admits his SOLE FUNCTION, as it was with President Obama, is to make Biden as UNSUCCESSFUL AS POSSIBLE, and a one-term President….America and the American public be damned!!
And, not for nuthin’ but, like clockwork, the national debt is a big issue again now Dems have power! LAUGHABLE, esp when you consider what the money was spent on, and what Biden is trying to do!
Carry on.
One wonders which alternative reality you would have her live in:This diatribe means nothing.
This about Cortez and how much she's shifted from her pre-congress position.
Why come in riding a wild stallion of promise and fire only to be walking a poodle of humility and compromise??
Such a shadow of herself beaten up by the hammer of incrementalism and assimilation in her own party. Once, the person to be standing outside with the crowd shouting at the filthy rich as they walk into their gatherings of self congratulatory awards, she now enters such galas wearing words of 'defiance' warmly applauded by her new peers that see her stunts as 'amusing'.
Well, I guess her way of saying she's still "Jenny from the Block", eh?
A slither of hope for her, still.
One wonders which alternative reality you would have her live in:
The benevolent dictatorship, where she can do whatever she wants, as long as you think it’s OK?
The “I said X, so X it is, or I’m going to sit in the corner and scream and scream and scream until I’m sick?”
OR, the Democracy she actually lives and operates in, where her local constituents vote for the ideas and beliefs she shares with them, takes those views to Congress, expresses them as forcefully, intelligently and persuasively as possible, and tries to build a consensus on the issues?
Don’t you think it’s amazing that you know, or have ANY opinion, on AOC, given she’s a young, ethnic woman from a small district in NY who barely finished her first term, after being unknown before her election???
That tells me she’s doing just fine, and her stature is growing…much to the chagrin of so many on the Right.
That literally ignores the fact that she beat an established white male candidate, and that she was an integral part of a blue wave of young, ethnic females being elected to Congress for the first time.What I find amusing in these responses (much like any other on here) is the continued need to focus on her race and her gender and that by doing exposes anybody that questions where she is, politically, as 'right winged' in motive!
Funny stuff!

Indeed, nowhere did I say, or even imply, that her race or gender were a determinant in any of my points…while the ONLY reason you have heard of her is literally driven by it!
Without looking it up, tell me the name of a progressive white male elected at the same time as AOC…
