Yes, and I voted for Bernie when he ran and I would absolutely vote for AOC if/when she does run.

Why the hell can’t we have candidates this awesome on the ballot here in the US?! 😿
bc mexico is actually democratic with significant proportional representation and not the weird arse shit merica calls “democracy”?
