I know a few friends who went to the Ivy Leagues and they are financially broke from their student loan debt. Meanwhile, I know one person who studied abroad at McGill University in Canada and he is making a decent living as an accountant.

I don't think I've ever loved and admired another human being more than I do her. Between watching her adorable reactions to people on the streets praising her, and the way she listens to and wants the best for her people, I have come to look up to her so much. I honestly wish I could be best friends with her. Some of my favorite scenes were the moments right before the polls closed when she was nervous about the outcome, and when she was telling security "that's me on the screen!" so she could get into the bar. Not to mention, MAD chills when her face popped up on the screen and everyone started screaming. At that moment, my heart was bursting. Part of the reason why I love Alex so much is because I see her in me. She makes me feel empowered, like I can accomplish anything. And for that, I owe her everything.

    True story. I used to go to flat fix where AOC worked and she used to tell my friends and I that she was running for Congress and we thought she was BSing us. She was super nice and very intelligent but we still doubted her. A lesson I have learned from this. A) don’t judge someone cause of their job or position. B) don’t let anyone tell you can’t achieve what you want in life.

    56:03 Wow. I am 19 and I had the exact same thing as Amy Vilela's daughter, a blood clot in my vein, a few months ago. But because I live in Germany, I went to the emergency center the evening it happened, had all possible tests done: blood test, ultra sonic, x ray, etc. Got presciption to medication immediately and got made a plan of what i should do and which doctors I should meet next. It got all done IMMEDIATELY and without a single thought spent on financing. In Germany, we dont need to worry about financing because our insurance covers nearly all of it, the only thing in the foreground is curing our issue. Even jobless and homeless people are ensured to have health insurance.
    And all the examinations and the medication were nearly FREE for me.
    Because I live in Germany I am cured a few months later and because she lived in the U.S. she is now dead. 😶 And the USA have the audacity to call themselves land of the free, in what way do they ensure more opportunities/freedom/human rights to people?

    I was literally shedding tears when AOC won while watching this video. I'm from a small town in NC..mostly conservative...and her passion for people, her community is what congressmen and congresswomen should be about. Thank you AOC..thank you for your courage to stand up for the people, not only for your district, but for us all. You give me hope that voting does matter and we can change the world. ACO for president!!!!

I didn't know the whole story of how she got to Washington, but it's obvious that she is keeping her promise to the 14th District and they made the absolute right decision to elect her to represent them. In her short time in Congress, she's done more than many career politicians like Ted Yoho who are in it for themselves. I just wish more politicians were running for the right reasons and had integrity like AOC, Paula Jean, Cori and Amy.

She also hates white people as far as this leftist foreigner wanting to vote here she can stay in her own country. Last thing we need is another mooching democrat.

      @@thegreatone11 ok I just have to laugh at your response. 1. I am a political science major, so I'm taking ACTUAL global politics classes. 2 when did she say she hates white people? "Stay in her own country" you mean American? You mean the United States? Did you watch the documentary she was born in New York. How is the green new deal a hoax? Please educate yourself before spewing nonsense. The only thing you gave me was opinion none of what you said was fact.

    One of the great spectacular events I've watched in my life time and is up there with all those other great moments in time. Please ladies all of you stand up and take a bow for fighting the hard fight for what is right for all of us and not for just the few. Your struggles while treading the path trodden by many over the years is an inspiration to the many in your desire to seek out justice and righteousness for all is heart warming. May all that did not make it rest easy in knowing that so many out there are grateful knowing that you all were prepared to stick your heads above the parapets without big financial backing and dear to tell the establishment to go get stuffed, yes one big in their faces. Love you all and please don't give up the fight cause someone has to do it.

    I don't know why; I can't put my finger on it... but something feels like Joe Crowley was genuinely pleased when he debated AOC. I watched the whole national debate live. Even he couldn't resist her conviction, passion and debate skills. Maybe he was just ready to be done with the job and was happy to see someone competent take him on. Maybe it was both. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

      Winner-take-all state electoral college agreements could hand the election to Trump, again. If you agree on the idea of *one-person one-vote,* we need states to pass a law for ECs to elect the winner of the national popular vote. Look up *National Popular Vote Interstate Compact* and contact your state reps to pass it! Especially if you're in a swing state. We're almost there!
