The Squad member was in the neighborhood gathering supporters to canvas the area for signatures to unionize a local Starbucks.
“When you knock on your neighbors door to collect a signature today, it’s to ask them to join a union. The day after that, is to get us the vote.”
She was heckled and interrupted a few times, with people on the scene reporting the crowd was more against her than with her.
LOL “A” protester. I was there and that crowd did not like her. And given how relatively silent they were for the rest of our elected disappointments, that says something.

Ocasio-Cortez has come out strongly in recent weeks, calling for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to step down, calling Republicans racist for asking Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson questions about her judicial record and referring to mothers as “birthing persons.”
AOC refuses to use the word “moms,” using the term “birthing parent” instead.
For some reason, she is fine using the word “dads,” though. pic.twitter.com/QEubJi1SSs

In her continuing crusade against student debt, the leftist representative has called out the president for not taking decisive action in a recent interview with New York Magazine, saying Democrats risk alienating young voters.
“We need to acknowledge that this isn’t just about middle of the road, an increasingly narrow band of independent voters,” she explained.
“This is really about the collapse of support among young people, among the Democratic base, who are feeling that they worked overtime to get this president elected and aren’t necessarily being seen.
“If the president does pursue and start to govern decisively using executive action and other tools at his disposal, I think we’re in the game,” she concluded.
