She reminds me of our prime minister a little bit. Similar millenial/mass appeal, based a lot on feelings rather than results.

not all that familiar with nz politics, but last i heard they were almost verbatim policy wise with obama/hillary views, which would put nz in stark contrast to aoc.

 

could you give some details of what you mean?

I'm more just talking about the public perception, not so much policy. She's a media darling, popular for feel-good politics. Jacinda's policies & general career path is inline with Obama/Hillary. She uses that "humanitarian" card for propaganda but made her bones working for Tony Blair shortly after the invasion of Iraq. In other words, a leftist hypocrite that a lot of people are suckered into feeling good about, thanks to some sophisticated PR, a fawning media & an ignorant populace. AOC is working for the establishment in the same way - she's no threat, more like packaging.
