At least, she is by the political beliefs and leanings of her generation. Young Americans are moving steadily left, driven by their life experience with the system as it has been. As the generations born after 1980 mature and the Boomers die off, America is going to experience a sea change in the political landscape.

As for the next generations, as soon as they get the three Ms--marriage, mortgage, and more kids on the way--they will become tax-cutting republicans. It is always the way. We have a system in which everyone who is not useless is an owner via 401K and other mechanisms. They toe the line eventually.
Also, socialism is in its last days around the world. Now that Trump is making Europe pay for its own defense, watch the vaunted safety net, already tottering, collapse. It sure isn't going to come here where we are 22 trillion in debt. It is a structural impossibility.
But good luck to you. Remember the words of Yogi Berra: "its hard to make predictions...especially about the future."
If you read the article, you know what the title is about. If not, your comments reflect it. The youth of America are moving steadily to the left side of the political spectrum, and among her peers, she is not considered a radical in the least. She is tomorrow's conservative.

Lenin, Mao, were considered the same by their peers, so basically, so what, your point means nothing.
Not comprising her to them, but the whole "the people that like me do not consider me radical" is nonsense, no duh, of course they are not. There is hardly a group out there in history that considered themselves radical, and all were reflective of their peers.
You can take out "AOC" and insert any person and group and get the same result.
But fact is she was elected by 15k people, meaning most did not even care enough about her politics to vote, hardly a reflection of anything.
Aside from that, her ideas have been childish, and she has accomplished so far zero in her short political career. What exactly has she accomplished for her constituents? What has she done to better their quality of life? What has she even proposed?

meh. She is no worse than the clueless hippies of the 60s. Most young people start out somewhat liberal, thinking they deserve free stuff provided by others. They are children-they are used to their parents providing for them their entire lives. Most young people eventually grow up, get jobs, become productive members of society and as they do they become far less liberal. Granted-some of today's children take longer to grow up than others...such as AOC. Heck, we have senior citizens that never have...bernie, cough...
