...a complex person who does things that are both bad and good, and simply labeling her as "bad" or "good" is a severe oversimplification.

    On the more serious side, I've actually been trying to avoid labeling people/things with value judgements of "good" or "bad", and rather restrict that language to actions.

      AOC is a good person - it’s her actions that are good/bad. Yes this is a binary meme. No, there is no middle ground. No I will not be taking questions

      Edit: expanding on this, another thing to keep in mind is that she is young, and deserves some slack. I absolutely would not have been able to pull myself together and juggle all the stress and decisions at age 30, much less with the amount of spotlight.

        Politicians are not our friends. It is not your job to be emotionally supportive towards her (it is the same as libs simping over Obama). She has friends who are there for her. It is a far more healthy attitude to be contemptuous towards elected officials at least it keeps you vigilant.
