Are you kidding? I still can’t tell most the time.
You mean who is listening to AOC *besides* Politico, the NYT, the WaPo, Fox News, 60 Minutes, and every thirsty* GOP operative/politician out there? Shit, even the gals on The View are talking about her. You can barely spend 5 minutes on Twitter without seeing some bro telling her to go to Venezuela yo see why socialism is bad. (Why not a kibbutz? Or Scandinavia?)
In contrast, no one outside of certain neighborhoods in NYC ever gave a shit about Vito Marcantonio back in the day.
*I love how the kids are using “thirsty” these** days.
** I feel like I should put the YouTube link to MTV’s “The Death of Bling” here, but I am too lazy.
