Ocasia Cortez says millennials are “better informed” than their elders.

AOC on Instagram live:

“Young people are more informed and dynamic than their predecessors... they actually take time to read and understand our [world] history.”

“I think this new generation is very profound, and very strong, and very brave, because they’re actually willing to go to the streets. How bout that? Like, previous generations have just assumed that government’s got it.”

Her generation also invented sex.
