This girl's name kept coming up for a while now and I've been ignoring it as noise. Finally started reading some articles about her and it looks like she's poor and struggling to find a place to live yet she lives rent free in the mind of every trumpet. Can someone explain why people are so obsessed with this particular politican on the left? The latest criticism is that she doesn't look poor enough for some people.

Ms Ocasio-Cortez, elected to congress in November, has spoken of her financial struggles. Last week the 29-year-old said she will find it difficult to pay her rent until she picks up her first pay cheque in January.

But conservative critics have attempted to portray the concerns of the self-described "democratic socialist" as disingenuous.

"Hill staffer sent me this pic of Ocasio-Cortez they took just now," Washington Examiner reporter Eddie Scarry wrote on Twitter, posting a picture of the congresswoman from behind.

"I'll tell you something: that jacket and coat don't look like a girl who struggles."

Mr Scarry later deleted his tweet.

They want to take a young gun down a peg. I dislike her because I'm more educated and professionally experienced yet my life is going no where and she's a Congress member. Envy on my part.

kinda. she proposed a healthcare for all plan that costs about 2x the entire federal budget, and even CNN's hosts were shocked. they asked her how to pay for it, and her response was, "i'm not a budgetary specialist". this the "spend all your money" memes.

she also has the kind of eyes that make you think she's suck the foreskin right off ya.

So dreams big with none of the effort put into planning out stuff
I'm guessing it's an excessive enthusiasm thing given her age and hopefully she gets her head straight

Last i recall on the healthcare topic there was some koch study sanders was tooting as proof of cost savings from single payer and that would be worthwhile as a diacussion point for moving single payer forward
