Yeah she is unfairly dismissed. It’s easier to pick holes in her style of politics and PR than the content of her beliefs or policy proposals so that’s what happens.
The concentration camp comment did wind people up though. She didn’t say these camps are like concentration camps, she called them concentration camps. I suppose she made this distinction deliberately. When I heard her say that I though ‘oh, this is a shame, she’s going for the shock language’ as to me it is all part of the race to the bottom in US political discourse that Trump and Gorka etc love.
Do I blame her, expect different or think she has anything but good intentions... no.

I don't intend this to come across in any way condescending, but I am surprised that anybody would doubt AOC calling them concentration camps given what we knew about those camps already. I'm puzzled how anybody could hear her say that, look at the facts and think otherwise.
As a wider observation, and I honestly am not aiming this at anybody on LFGSS, I encounter a lot of people who seem to dismiss what AOC says on account of her gender and age. Let alone her "goddamn commie marxist" politics.
