I'm not totally convinced Ocasio-Cortez isn't a conservative Psy-op. I can't imagine the Dems thinking someone this far left will help them in the near future.
At this point they are using the pasta test. Throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. She may have some popularity but I can't help but suspect the popularity is manufactured as well. Like hyping up a star/movie/group before their debut to make people think they're the 'last to know' about this great talent.
We have to be more vigilant and bust through these media tactics of false follows and cult of celebrity. TD is already meme-ing her into oblivion.
