Judith, first, I am a supporter and admirer AOC, which, my initial post did not make clear.
It is clear that she is working hard for the common people instead of big donors. It is clear that she understands and cares about Democracy and her constituency.
I always zoom into her zoom meetings with her district and she is amazing. Most recently, her zoom meeting featured step by step methods for how folks in her district can get the disaster help for rebuilding form the recent flooding in her district.
She is always, always, helpful and REPRESENTING the people of her district.
That said, early in her representational career, less so now, she made herself visible in ways that enabled Fox News to rip on her and caste her as the perfect enemy of the right.
Which, honestly, she is. Republican legislators are ONLY interested in representing their rich donors. Republican ability to pull off representing rich donors while simultaneously pretending they care one whit about their constituency is entirely amazing.
AOC, on the other hand, is a real threat to that method of governing because she is ... so far....
completely honest and without corruption, and, hence, a danger to Republican methodology.
I worry about her. I imagine a lot of people do for different reasons.
Her recent, lower visibility may reflect a maturing and understanding of her situation.
The above more accurately describes my perspective on AOC.
