    AOC turns 35 right before the election, she’s eligible. I think she’d be incredible. She knows how to energize people

      I really wish she wasn’t constantly referred to by an acronym, it makes her sound like a super PAC or some other soulless organization instead of an actual person. Pedantic I know, but as someone only vaguely familiar with her, it’s the first thing I think of when I hear about her.

            That’s fair. In the US we use those initialisms almost exclusively to refer to those people in casual conversation. They are Martin Luther King (Jr; civil rights advocate I perhaps arrogantly assume most people know of), Lindon B. Johnson (president), John F. Kennedy (president), Robert F. Kennedy (current presidential candidate/Democrat spoiler), and AOC is Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez
