Ocasio-Cortez makes $174,000 annually with her congressional salary and has used the funds to move into the posh Navy Yard neighborhood in Washington D.C. that, ironically, is also a favorite of President Donald Trump's staffers.

My mother was a socialist when I was growing up and lived at home. She still is. She painted a picture of socialism that sounded good. I definitely was a lefty in college. Extreme.

But stuff like this is why I cannot take socialism seriously. The minute AOC gets to DC, it’s luxury for her.

If she truly was a working class champion, she’d live somewhere less expensive and donate or help the poor and downtrodden.

That’s supposed to be the difference between people like her and the rich baddies. But it seems all people want is to feed voters a line, get in office, and then, good times.

She shouldn't have moved into a new place while she could've stayed rent-free in your head.

Stupid statement. I am no great fan of AOC but you simply do not know enough to make this statement. Navy Yard is close to the Hill, so she is being sensible. You also have no idea how much her rent is or her condo cost. Navy Yard is flooded with Hill staffers, so not all of it is expensive.

You do realize with her high profile, there are likely security concerns that would make a place like that a better choice for her and her boyfriend’s safety?

I’ll like AOC in 1-2 years, once she stops being so righteous. If a fancy apartment & Whole Foods makes her absorb a bit of humble pie & lose some arrogance, I’m all for it.
She has decent ideas & political spunk. But she needs to grow up a bit.

Too bad for you. Maybe focus on living your own life instead of hating on others.

Oh, she's near a Whole Foods! There's only a dozen of them around the DC area.

I thought progressives were all about everyone having the same simple life and taking money from the wealthy and redistribution to the poor?

Dcum rails against any rich republican constantly...but suddenly it’s time to live your best life when AOC is shopping at Whole Foods.

See? That’s American Socialism. All fluff. No substance.

Way down at the bottom of the article, it admits that her apartment rents are right about the average for DC.
