It just occurred to me why AOC is so promoted.
They have chosen a charismatic personality that is attractive, slim, well groomed and presented. Images of her performing attractive generational antics further endorse her to her intended demographic.
Further, she talks their language, like, and uses their brand of rationale - the one that sounds like logic but is just meaningless mumbo jumbo.
The media is in love with her and, of course, we all know why that is.
She is a beacon for the conditioned demographic, handed bills to introduce to make her look really knowledgeable and switched on - a true rags to riches fairytale for her instant gratification generation.
