A Letter to AOC

          Dear Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,

          Here is an honest question for you:  Do you do anything for people or is your specialty just social media?

          What? Don’t you like the question? I will give you credit though for playing the Twitter crowd well. You and your pals (aka. The Squad) sure got people excited with promises to voted for new House leadership and to impeach Trump. You rolled with that online adoration and somehow, some way you’ve managed to keep your name in the news and you make sure that you go hand-in-hand with Cuomo to keep your name in the news.

          However, before I continue, let it be known that I am no fanny of Cuomo. As a matter of fact, I cannot stand any politicians. I will never vote republican and it is very tempting to constantly write names in for every election from now on, but I am getting off topic. This is all about you, isn’t its Ms. Ocasio-Cortez? Everything, no matter what you tweet, is always about you. Even when you make a point it is always with a meme and a smiley face. You play those items well though do not you. People see them and think you are relating to them. However, this is what I see when I look at you.

          I see you yet another politician, who got a lot of publicity and is now thriving on power. I see you as a woman whose head has really gotten too big, too fast. You say a lot of words but do not really mean what you say. You are reaping in the benefits of a lifetime salary, a big apartment and instant fame. In a couple of years, you will be a millionaire and you are literally taking advantage of a public whose brains have totally gone to mush because everything is centered on the online world and it’s getting worse thanks to the pandemic.

          Let me say, not everyone is like this, I can think of 2 people online that you can have interesting conversations with (my friend Rocky the cat comes to mind). I have a feeling that there are a lot more people out there that think but might be afraid due to the viciousness of the online crowd (which you milk Ms. Ocasio-Cortez). However, thanks to politicians like you the idea of individualism is now out the window and I find that to be an American tragedy.

          In conclusion, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez I think that you are, generally, all mouth. I do not see protesting that you are in recess until May or saying anything about impeaching Trump since he is endangering people’s lives. I also get a kick out of how you are trying to walk back the vote on the stimulus bill. Yes, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, I do not like you and I do not like your party. I will never vote republican and you can shrug me off. It infuriates me that the democratic party is so screwed up, when I was raised with the idea that the democrats are for the people. What really gets me the most is that you could have been the beginning of a positive change, but you are nothing, but a fraud dressed up in clever tweets and Instagram posts. Thanks to you, I doubt any positive change can ever happen in American politics and that really sucks.
