Additionally, 2018's figures here are projections. The figures are validated up until 2016.
Just as many other polls, it looks great to prove a certain agenda - until one breaks it down. I'm not criticizing you personally, Mariana, but this poll doesn't do anything to accurately prove your point.
As far as AOC is concerned, I've been as excited as anyone to see the eclectic bunch of new folks getting a chance, but she is most certainly not respecting the value of experience. What she and a few others did to Nancy Pelosi was absolutely uncalled for at a time when we most need her knowledge and professionalism under fire. Somehow I don't think she would have comported herself in the simple and elegant way Nancy did in the Oval Office with Trump. I picture the same scenario with AOC as more of a screaming match - then who would have been the one accused of having a temper tantrum?
She needs to back the hell up and learn something about how things work and how to graciously get a point across. Now is the time to find her way around and start building alliances for the future, if she is to have a future. Alienating not only prospective colleagues but prospective voters is definitely not the way to begin a successful career.
