I would cry for joy to see a woman become President before I die (I’m 74). The first time I heard AOC speak I thought: that girl’s gonna be President someday! Articulate, down-to-earth, charismatic, working class...she’s got it all. And, of course, liberal most importantly.
Unfortunately, I’m not optimistic about her chances. The voters in this country, and the non voters have made me see that they are stupider, more apathetic, greedier, and more racist than I ever thought possible.
I think it's reasonable to be disappointed in US voters right now!
It's hard to know what the right thinks...I think some find her formidable, and some probably underrate her because they're misogynists (and racists) who don't see any woman of color as competent.
They will go on fox fake news and denigrate her every chance they get. The white billionaire, Harvard educated republicans have literally called her an elite. How does a woman who overcame all adversity qualify as elite? She terrifies them because she is brilliant and they know she will someday be elected president. Hopefully she runs for Schemer’s seat. If I still lived in NYC I would vote for her in a heartbeat. Like me, she’s a bronx girl that made good without the help of some billionaires.
I’ve been disappointed with republicans from the first second trump put his foot on his tacky gold painted, marble lined, escalator. The first words, actually screams, was hell no so loud my dog went scurrying to the back of my closet.
They will go on fox fake news and denigrate her every chance they get. But being a bronx girl myself and grew up in the discrimination she represents. I know that they will never faze her. Because bronx girls are tough and don’t take shit from anyone.

You’re playing into the status quo messaging. There are a lot of people, specifically on the right, that are terrified of her.
