    Can you define terms more specifically? Is AOC more popular in her district than others are in their districts? Or is AOC more popular across the country? I suspect the latter isn’t true, as she fills a relatively small niche. The former could be true, due to her district and how unpopular most politicians are.

    As for Bernie, he might’ve won the primary, and possibly beaten Trump. But he would’ve been eaten alive by a Rubio or Christie, which is what everyone expected them to land on. Trump was widely regarded as a joke candidate that would disappear by election day.

      To be clear, my declarative memory is complete garbage. I remember processes, and so remembering facts only comes easily in the contexts of those processes. With that said, I believe AOC is a very popular figure throughout the nation, with all of the caveats of being a political figure, and therefore divisive.
