    It's fascinating how every attack on AOC is basically about her being much more typical of the average American than most politicians are.https://twitter.com/JuddLegum/status/1064573081073655809 …

        Americans want to be led by people who are financially elite but intellectually mediocre, rather than by people who are intellectually elite but financially mediocre.

        The former gives them hope that they, too, might join "the elite;" the latter are just sad sacks who still have to eat ramen noodles once in a while, just like everyone else.

        How is that? Remember, if the median is $5200, half are above that and half are below that.

        You don’t take into account local inflation.

        Is the $7K thing an "attack" really? Serious question.

        And yet this is also the reason given by many of these same people as to why they like Trump.

        5200 in savings is considered pretty good among most people.

        I don't mean that as a negative. Like it's a normal amount of money that a normal person might have. Damn saying that to myself. Damn, that's fucked up.
