Over performed in an R+22 district, coming within single digits of winning in a special election. She did that while being an unapologetic Progressive Democrat.
I honestly don't understand why so many are overtly hostile towards AOC and other progressive Democrats in general. AOC has been out there on national tours, building the Democratic base and filling every venue, everywhere they go.

AOC has nothing to do with the lose. It has everything to do with a deep red district that Republicans paid millions of dollars to win a R+22 district that shouldn't have even required a real campaign.
