This is such a big mood. Speaking as a full-time graduate student in the metro DC area, I don’t blame her for waiting. The cost of living here is grotesque.
stfu, this bitch just another LARPing liberal
Like most models, Ocasio-Cortez did not buy the outfit shown here – she rented it for a photo shoot. Also, the clothes come from an environmentally-conscious fashion line, the designers of which are sensible to her political platform.
I see why you omitted these details – sexism is more catchy when you neglect the whole story

Period
G*d people really acting like a bartender with student debt showed up to a photoshoot with a $10,000 wardrobe in tow. That’s not how any of this works.
You want to shut down the bullshit memes and trash-talking your generation’s getting from Boomers?
Vote. Vote in every damn single election, from PTA on to President. Own your country so hard Boomers will be calling YOU sir. Fuck up their projected demographics and plant your flag in every political office in the land.
Let spite drive you to the ballot box.
(or, lacking that, share a Lyft to get there)
As a Certified Boomer, FUCK YES, THIS RIGHT HERE, DO THIS.
let’s be honest though, millennial hate is totally a thing rich folks started because they’re pissed that we have really unpredictable consumer habits and it isn’t as easy to get us to buy into stuff, so they’re mad we aren’t just money giving/traditional economy supporting machines like they expected us to be
like look at how much millennial hate articles are things like “millennials aren’t eating cereal and it’s hurting the cereal industry” or “millennials aren’t buying houses and that’s bad” or “millennials #1 utmost priority isn’t trying to make as much money as possible” and rich folks are mad about it, so just posturing our unpredictability/nontraditional values as “laziness” gets everyone else on board the hate train in some weird attempt to collectively subdue us
“You are Doing Capitalism Wrong and it scares me” – bitter Boomers to Millennials who are not buying into their shit (or buying their shit)
Keep in mind that the subprime mortgage crisis was at a pretty pivotal time in Millenial’s lives, and taught them that financial institutions are not on your side, will lie to you, and specifically will lie to you about what you can afford.

A thing I feel obliged to point out periodically, and that I should probably figure out a larger piece to give it a home within, is the sudden shift in rhetoric about millennials that happened in 2008-09 or so. For ages their defining characteristic was a willingness to cooperate and an inclination towards teamwork. This was The Thing that was true about them. Then, very abruptly, the story about them became that they were “entitled.”
The obvious point to make is that this coincided with genuine precision with the election of Barack Obama, and that millennial hate exists pretty much entirely because the generation demonstrated itself to be considerably more progressive than the centrist Generation X or the neoliberal Baby Boomers.
