Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be new to Congress, but she already stands out in her own party. Not only has the young, New York liberal proposed untenable policies, such as the Green New Deal, but her frequent social media posts promote her wild, socialist ideas to the masses. As a President Trump-defying member of “the Squad” along with fellow Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ocasio-Cortez is loud, proud, and not content to take a backseat despite lacking seniority among Democrats.

It’s no secret that Democratic presidential candidate Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is captivated by the ferocity of his young colleague. In October, Sanders was clear about his desire that Ocasio-Cortez work in his administration should he become the next president. In turn, the freshman representative said it would “be an honor to be vice president,” though she admits her young age doesn’t qualify her to be anyone’s running mate until 2024. Ocasio-Cortez’s devotion to Sanders, whom she already endorsed, and liberal politics, in general, led her to recently admit, “In any other country, Joe Biden and I would not be in the same party, but in America, we are.”
