Taking all partisan issues out of the equation: The "AOC" factor stands for the American dream: a young, poor (relatively) immigrant's daughter, yet attractive, educated, daring, and outspoken, could win the race to public service against the rich and the established, thereby carving out the podium in life for herself and others like her. What she needs still is wisdom, plus the sophistication and caution that go with old-age wisdom. But, after the two World Wars, America, as a continent compared to old Europe, was the "young" country for the "deviant," the revolutionary and the unsophisticated. It's known as the land of immigrants (before immigrants were divided into "legal" and "illegal" -- the "legal" framework of a country with borders. The American values, however, are supposedly without borders -- that which makes Americans proud.
