i like AOC a whole lot but her success/platform is no mystery. she& #39;s young, charismatic, pretty, and she embodies the "American dream" thing in a way that many celebs but very few politicians do. i& #39;m super happy for her success but wary of all the cult of personality/hero worship

this is in response to some tweets i& #39;ve seen about her that i& #39;d rather not quote tweet because i don& #39;t want to be mobbed by some random people for not adequately showing fealty. very wary of Obama-like politicians as celebs, even ones i align with way more politically.

i don& #39;t know what& #39;s inside AOC& #39;s head or her heart. what i& #39;ve seen makes her seem very genuine. but i do know that that level of celebrity does things to even the strongest and best people (esp younger people), and those things aren& #39;t generally good at all

more of us need to remember that the job of politicians is to serve the people. as long as AOC keeps that in her heart, she& #39;ll do good. but people really need to get over all this wanting public figures you like to be god emperor lady bosses
