Disclaimer: I know there are a lot of good Millenials who have their heads screwed on straight, including many here. Not trying to start an inter-generational pissing match.

But that being said, as a whole it seems to me that AOC embodies many of the qualities of her generation. For example, I recall a poll about 6 months ago which showed that 44% of Millennials think Socialism is good and would be their preferred economic system/form of government. I know younger people of every generation tend to be more liberal than the population as a whole, but there is NO WAY that any previous American generation was ever 44% favorable to Socialism. Some may point to a geezer like Bernie Sanders and say we've always had people who felt this way, but Bernie Sanders never spoke for his generation. He was considered to be both odd and eccentric, to be honest (along with barely being known at all).

But, it isn't just about Socialism. For example, I never once heard the term "safe space" before Millennials came along. AOC can dish it out, but she squeals like a pig whenever anybody criticizes her. She also went to college, but usually can't articulate her ideas to save her life. Is it because, like many of her generation, she was being taught social constructs instead of the basics? Which obtw, the Millenials obviously didn't serve as their own teachers. The brainwashing/poor education they received is laid squarely at the feet of the 2 generations which preceded them.

So my question is, has AOC become the face of the Millennial generation?

No, she’s become damn near the exclusive talking point of this board.

LMAO. You've gone too far. Only people who follow politics regularly would know who AOC is.

So then you have to ask yourself, how many Millenials follow politics regularly?

Then you have to ask, how many Millenial politic followers take her seriously?

Probably not many. This is a case of consuming too much TV/news.

ETA: You can't be the face of a generation if you're only marginally popular among the ENTIRE generation and only garner marginal support of the people that do know you.

Sadly, I have to admit that I know who Moe and Curly are. I was happier when I had never heard of any of the terrible trio, and that was the case much less than a year ago.

Then who is?

Edit - As someone who is more or less conservative, surely you realize that you are incredibly out-of-step with your own generation. You do realize that, right?

PS - I've seen one of your videos, and I would've sworn you were Generation X.

My wife is an '89er, too

She'll reach that milestone 3 days before I turn 31. Yes, she's freaking out about it
