Apparently she is a survivor herself.

Edit: aaaaaaaand the libs are co-opting this of course.... I’m proud of AOC for sharing her story. I wouldn’t be nearly as brave or intelligent when I was her age. critical support, as usual. AOC good today. Who knows what tomorrow holds.

    It's horrific and bad, but if you're a 'socialist' sitting in a seat of power in America, you gotta be ready for this.

    Shit, half her own party probably wants her dead.

      If AOC had her own independent socialist party backing her up they could maybe better prepare for shit like this. But she's a Democrat, and her party's leadership can throw her under the bus at any point if she becomes a serious threat.

      Stop trying to muddy the picture. She was targeted for being brown/woman by Trump’s racist thugs. Her politics were irrelevant.

        Chuds absolutely despise Ilhan and AOC, like I've never seen more bloodthirsty people online than chuds. They 100% hate them more than Pelosi or Bernie or whoever, and not just because they're women of color, but because they are outspoken, assertive women of color. They don't hate someone like Candace Owens nearly as much.

        TO CHUDS, THESE ARE VIRTUALLY SYNONOMOUS AT THIS POINT, BUT REGARDLESS THEIR POLITICS AS WELL AS VARIOUS OTHER FACTORS LIKE YOU MENTION ARE UNDOUBTEDLY, EACH & ALL, IRREDUCIBLE ACCELERANTS. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO DOWNPLAY THE FACT THAT THEIR RADICAL POLITICS (SOCIAL DEMOCRACY) ARE IN FACT MAKING THEM EVEN MORE TARGETED THAN THEY ALREADY WOULD BE
