THREAD @RepJeffries I am a constituent of yours and this is not it. This is a completely disingenuous take. A lot of people are leveling this attack that young progressive politicians like AOC are “just internet celebrities” which ignores that: 1/4 https://twitter.com/heatherscope/status/1326495837778751488

1. AOC has sponsored or cosponsored over 550 bills, resolutions, or amendments in the two years she has been in Congress—an avg of 225/yr. @RepJeffries averages 195/yr so judge for yourself who is “governing.” 2/4

2. Educating voters about political process by meeting them where they are & communicating about policy engages them, deepens their relationship with the party, makes them more likely to turn out in elections, & amplifies Dem msging far more than a press conference ever will. 3/4

AOC’s accessibility and ability to clearly communicate with voters is a strength, not a weakness. The Dem party continues to alienate people like me and I am much more pragmatic and willing to compromise than a lot of the progressive base. 4/4
