My main problem with Alex is that she represents a direct threat to the United States economy. When thinking of Alex I am always reminded of George McGovern, the Democrat nominee for president that got trounced by Richard Nixon.
McGovern left politics to start a Bed and Breakfast. This is a direct quote about his failed experience:

IMO AOC is even more dangerous than McGovern and Bernie Sanders. Has she honestly even balanced her own bank account? It doesn't seem like it. She didn't even have enough money to rent an apartment in Washington D.C.
Someone that has never even come close to running a business yet spends frivolously on designer clothing... that's dangerous, especially someone that was raised in an affluent neighborhood and family. Even Bernie Sanders and McGovern had kids to raise. They at least have some idea what it takes to balance a budget.
Here is a recent tweet by her:

You heard it. People are going to die if we don't start addressing climate change!

What is she talking about it? Civil Rights already apply to the LGBTQ. Why is she advocating create new civil rights?
Someone like Alex only has knowledge about the U.S economy and politics through the classroom. She is an academic with little life experience trying to promote broad political theories into law. In reality, her proposals are quite radical. They are disconnected from reality and only would benefit a minority of the population.

In retrospect, I wish I had known more about the hazards and difficulties of such a business, especially during a recession of the kind that hit New England just as I was acquiring the inn’s 43-year leasehold. I also wish that during the years I was in public office, I had had this firsthand experience about the difficulties business people face every day. That knowledge would have made me a better U.S. senator and a more understanding presidential contender.

It’s not enough to think it’s “important.” We must make it urgent

To this end, Alex will advocate for legislation such as the Equality Act, which would expand existing civil rights law to make discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity illegal. As we advocate for Universal Healthcare, we must also do more to provide affordable healthcare coverage that is gender-affirming and conscientious of the unique medical struggles faced by LGBTQIA+ patients. The issues facing the LGBTQIA+ community are not isolated from the issues facing many of us regarding race and class.
