Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is interviewed following the midterm elections by Ryan Grim at The Intercept.
AOC is always labeled an extremist by Republicans and often also by her own Party's establishment.
She is for getting big money out of politics and for Congress over-riding the Supreme Court on Roe v. Wade, both positions supported by a majority of Americans. So, that puts her in the Mainstream as far as I am concerned.
I am impressed by her fighting spirit, her intellect and her political acuity. Those are qualities much to be valued right now. Losing by a little should not be confused with winning.
