Rallying the Dems: How AOC Brings Life to the Party

While the Democratic Party is in the doldrums, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders are packing arenas and electrifying crowds with a clear message of opposition to greed and corruption. On this episode, host and editor-in-chief Radhika Jones, along with executive editor Claire Howorth and Hive editor Michael Calderone, discuss the 35-year-old Congresswoman’s political skills, social media prowess, and ability to persevere in the face of right-wing media mockery and violent threats. Michelle Ruiz, who profiled AOC in 2020 for Vanity Fair, joins the show to reflect on that cover story and what’s transpired since. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
