She grew up and went to school in a rich town called Yorkstown NY, in Westchester county, went to a private school was groomed for politics, worked 1 summer as a bartender before going to BU. Not even from the Bronx really.

She was born in the Bronx, to a dad who was born in the Bronx, lived in an apartment in Parkchester in the Bronx before her family moved to Yorkstown.

She was definitely middle-class, not rich.

She went to Yorktown High, that's a public school. And they some small school that hasn't produced any other politicians so not exactly sure how she was "groomed" for politics there.

Her dad, who was the main wage-earner, died when she was still a teenager.

She went to BU in 2007-2011, she kept working as a bartender while also doing community organizing/politics/publishing on the side all the way up until 2017.

Other than that, your comment was completely accurate. :jawalrus:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fired back at director Aaron Sorkin after he called on Freshman Democrats to stop acting like "young people": "News Flash: Medicare for All & equal rights aren’t trends... If we don’t show up for people, why should you feel entitled to their vote?"

My Pops Forever RIP
If youve ever lived in the Bronx for anytime you’d claim that shyt forever. I lived there till I was like 7 and act like I’m straight out the BX:russ::blessed:
She’s been here pretty much over a decade of her life. BX people don’t look kindly upon false flaggers (pretty much unless you claim BK we frown upon them). If I knew her in high school I might have clowned her for reppin but I also wouldn’t fault her circumstances. Plenty of people leave here out of necessity (look at Saquon Barkley— he left at 7 and he still reps BX today)

@KingJudah2 what’s wrong with BU? You don’t have to be rich to go there. My broke ass went there.
