Call me sentimental but equating the two is honestly an insult to the countless Bolivians who were imprisoned, tortured and murdered over centuries to get to where they are now. Evo isn't just a man and a politician, he's the face of a movement of indigenous people that were enslaved and brutalized and fought valiantly to even have a slight chance of having a government like that of the MAS. Bolivia was a right wing dictatorship until 3 years before Evo was elected. People were still being slaughtered by fascists in 2003. The uncertainty of being a socialist leader in an environment like that is something people in the west can't even comprehend. If AOC loses her seat she's not going to be executed or exiled, she's going to get a cushy sinecure.

Plus, like I pointed out earlier in this thread, it's an objectively wrong take. If AOC is elected president in 2028 and implements her full agenda, bolivians will still have to fight her administration for control over their own resources because we ain't getting a GND without lots of lithium and cobalt etc and I can guarantee you the US government isn't going to want to pay the full price.
