Among Democrats on Capitol Hill, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wields far more power than New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. But the progressive champions have the hearts of Democratic voters across the country.
About three-quarters of Democrats have a “somewhat” or “very” favorable view of Sanders, while about half have a favorable view of Ocasio-Cortez, according to a recent survey from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Compare them with Schumer, an establishment Democrat, who is viewed favorably by only about a third of Democrats.
Nearly the entire difference in favorability ratings between Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez can be explained by voters who said they don’t know enough to form an opinion of AOC. Their unfavorable ratings among Democrats were essentially the same, around 15% for both.
Ocasio-Cortez, now 35, was an anonymous Sanders campaign volunteer a decade ago. Now she’s perhaps the best positioned to be the 83-year-old Sanders’ successor atop his progressive movement as the Democratic Partytries to position itself in Trump’s America.
But that role comes with risks — President Donald Trump and Republicans have long made AOC a foil, and some Democrats, progressive and moderate alike, have argued she and Sanders are too disruptive and push for unrealistic policy ideas.
Sanders and AOC have long portrayed their political relationship as familial. She used to call him “Tio Bernie,” Spanish for “Uncle Bernie.” He recently held her hand onstage in front of a huge crowd and said, tongue in cheek, “I want to say a word about my daughter.”
A spokesperson for Sanders, Anna Bahr, said Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are “allies, collaborators and friends who built their relationship around a shared vision.”
“In many ways, the congresswoman represents what Bernie has been advocating for decades: When working-class people in this country...

It’s somewhat terrifying to know there are that many deceived and deluded adults walking around among us, able to vote.
> Now she’s [AOC] perhaps the best positioned to be the 83-year-old Sanders’ successor… <
Bolshevik Bernie is, well, a Bolshevik. But he’s no dummy.
On the other hand, AOC is a dummy. So it will be interesting to see how this plays out. Bernie could win over working-class folks with his routines. I don’t see how AOC can do the same.
If you look at any poll and the WTF answer will
Always get 30-35%, yup it is terrifying
Horse teeth and boobs😎

* AOC’s engagement ring disappeared from her hand.
* AOC and Bernie hanging out together a LOT.
Hmmm…?
AOC has put on some poundage lately too.
Yes it is. Keep your weapons close and your enemies distant.
No kidding. This is what always really concerns me.
Trump - 77.3M
Harris - 75.0M
She was the worst candidate in the nation’s history, but it was THAT close?
We could always hope election fraud was some of that, but still, that’s far more fraud than one would reasonably expect.
But I know there are enough people who hate Trump’s guts with such a burning passion, they’d vote for Kim Jung Il over Trump.
The upjumped bartender who auditioned for the role of congressional candidate being cast by a dark money group ... and the guy who was kicked out of a kibbutz because he didn’t do any work, and who never held a real job before riding the student-hippie bandwagon into public office in a college town — so he’s still never held a real job ....
Yes, they definitely represent the mindset of the post-rational, fantasy wish fulfillment lunatics who are now the democrats’ activist vanguard.
Yes, they share a common vision: money grows on trees; all wealth is found wealth; the idle and unproductive are entitled to an equal share, except that Bernie and AOC personally don’t share because they are special; and no one should face any consequences for their actions.
And anyone who disagrees is morally deficient, a threat to democracy, and should be silenced.
How do the Ds get so much vote? How do their voters break down? What motivates them?
1. Daddy and grandpa always voted “D” so I do, too.
2. Communism is grand!
3. I love gigantic government.
4. I hate Trump, MAGA, and all Republicans.
5. I love alphabet people.
6. “In this house, we believe…”
7. No human is illegal. Refugees welcome. We love high crime.
8. Eat the rich.
9. A woman POTUS. ANY woman will do.
10. Vote fraud.
Or is it a protest support railing against what the Democratic Party has become? They are no longer democratic, they are the real authoritarians forcing the leaders choice on the party! No voting, just proclamations!
She’s hitting that wall. Her mother made it through relatively okay, but she has to watch herself.

Oligarchs against the Oligarchy!
Which indicates a very disturbed psyche.
If your position is based on feelings and not policy, it’s a very mentally unstable mindset.
She is Alex Stein’s favorite big booty Latina lol 😆
Which is why our nation does not thrive culturally or economically when they have power.
