I'm a little cold on Gabbard due to her CFR membership. Try asking about it on her YouTube channel :)

Cool, I wasn't aware of that. Definitely cause for concern. I don't engage in many YouTube comments.

I'm wondering if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the real deal. She seems like it, and the reaction from Nancy Pelosi and others in Democratic leadership positions makes me think she might be a genuine upset/surprise to the corporate members of that party.

Yeah, it seems like Ocasio-Cortez is the real deal. At the very least it's refreshing to hear progressive ideas get talked about, and hopefully she'll inspire more people to run for office.
