          She wanted her Green New Deal or nothing, doesn’t understand it’s a one-solution trap: if it’s opposed, there’s no Plan B to go to. She’s against PAYGO, feeling it won’t allow her grandiose socialist plans. She has much to learn.

          Absolutely agree. I also read she and a group November 13, I think, PROTESTED in Pelosi’s office! She doesn’t even know where the restrooms are yet, and she’s protesting her own party?!? She’s supposed to be one of them, NOT a protester. As I said, much to learn, that child.

          Protesting against the leader long before being sworn in is not in my opinion a propitious beginning. We’re dealing with Donnie, we don’t need an arrogant egotistical know-it-all child making things more difficult. She needs to ask WHY PAYGO? It’s for darn good reason.

          The delightful dancing video of AOC that is being circulated right now* is actually part of a pretty storied, if now mostly forgotten, remix culture phenomenon. If you'll allow me... -- * apparently by numbskulls incapable of joy
