39. She is exactly who I think she is

Thu Nov 15, 2018, 03:06 PM

Nov 2018

A very junior member of Congress who has to deal with populist expectations—some of them her own-while learning and doing the actual work of a Representative. She will make mistakes. She will do things right. She has potential to be a change agent. The operative word being potential. I hope she understands this.

My Rep is also a Bernie endorsed person, who fights all the fucking time for immigrants and immigrant rights. She is fearless. She fiercely advocates. She wins my heart right there, no matter I don’t agree with every single thing.

AOC is not my Rep. Kinda tired of hearing about her. I do look forward to seeing her in action in Congress.
