AOC's Outsized Confidence Creates Challenges in Congress
- AOC became a "pariah" in Congress due to her arrogance and overconfidence, alienating Democrats from Pelosi to progressives
- Her signature policy, the Green New Deal, was botched due to arrogance and overconfidence, serving it up for mockery
- She repeatedly canceled meetings and refused to meet donors or power players, hampering her ability to build relationships
- She voted against her own party from day one, immediately sacrificing relationships with fellow Democrats
- Despite her massive public profile, she achieved little in Congress by not building relationships and consensus
