She's a young, attractive, bright, inexperienced and (I would argue) naive politician who rode a small-scale populist wave and a weak opponent and got lucky timing-wise. I'm reasonably confident her popularity outside her district has surprised even her, even though she's got a pretty leverage-able platform from a large media market. She scares the other side of the aisle (Republicans, and moderate Democrats, a bit) because their wings can't offer up anyone to counteract her vivacity and enthusiasm on a local or national stage. When she effectively (not explicitly) got behind Biden after Sanders withdrew, a few of the crank pundits who were all-in with Sanders turned on her. Didn't hurt her a bit. She's inside the system though, unlike Sanders -- a Democrat, not an Independent. A "change from within" type. Very savvy in that regard.

Again didn't call her Einstein. Some people just seem to go above and beyond to knock down a smart young woman not born into privilege. Strange.

Saying someone is hardly Einstein is a figure of speech, she’s intelligent but she’s not as miraculous as you make out.
What’s her gender or background got to do with it?
She was born with more “privilege” than I have so you can take that and shove it.

As I wrote -- lots of folks are afraid of her because there isn't a personality from other wings that's got what she's got and can counter her. Optics matter. But she represents two-tenths of one percent of the nation in a district that is 50% Latino/a vs. 17% for the USA overall, entirely urban and unfailingly blue. She can hardly be called a spokesperson for her generation, let alone the majority of Americans, yet.

The fact that this even needs to be stated by a member of Congress is just ridiculous, but glad she's said it.
That's a very pointed comment, I agree.
The Epstein death looks to obviously a deliberate plan you do wonder why no-one had a better method.

I think many in the elite are at risk here, there’s some utterly shady cunts in positions of power.

This has exploded all over my wife’s social media account. Communities have grown up on Goya, it’s like the ultimate betrayal or the apocalypse or something.
