Nov 2018

I suspect that some people here have a hard time accepting that she began her rise in politics by organizing for Bernie Sanders. Get over it. Others got their rise by organizing for Hillary Clinton. It's great that they got involved, it's great that they stayed active, it's great that so many of our future leaders got elected to Congress in 2018. AOC is a strong Democratic Latina voice emerging from a younger generation. She, and others like her, are to be celebrated.
