[0]: It was clear from the beginning of her speech before Congress last week that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn't going to be a gentle voice on Capitol Hill. [1]: "Every day," she began at a Democratic meeting of the House Judiciary Committee. [2]: The congresswoman-elect from Queens went on to call immigration detention "a humanitarian crisis," blamed former President George W. Bush for the current GOP tax plan and urged Congress to create "a Washington that works for all Americans." [3]: The speech was neither short nor subtle. But AOC, as she's frequently called or even just tweeted by those who love her or hate her, clearly understands how to brand herself as a political force. [4]: And in a political climate where everyone is scrambling for attention online — and competing against more than 500 other congresspersons — Ocasio-Cortez looks like a winner so far. People are actually listening. [5]: Her viral tweets [6]: On Oct. 16 — three weeks after Ocasio-Cortez unseated four-term Democratic Rep. Joseph Crowley in a stunning primary upset — Democrats had a big problem on their hands: [7]: They still had custody of just 193 seats in the House of Representatives. [8]: And voters were headed to the polls a little more than two months later with an election looming. [9]: AOC was making headlines with her anti-establishment movement at a time when Democrats were terrified moderate Republicans would lose their House seats — taking down a narrow majority in the process. With most of those districts feeling pretty secure, Democrats were focused almost exclusively on their vulnerable members — not newcomers. [10]: "AOC was never on anyone's radar screen in Washington," says Alan Rothenberg, who GOP consultant John Feehery recently described as one of the top political pollsters in America. "This was an insurgent campaign — then-it-was-now-it-isn't story." [11]: After her big primary victory that summer, Rothenberg tried to get AOC on his new podcast — but she wasn't interested. [12]: "I said I was interested in talking to her about her amazing candidacy," Rothenberg recalls. "And she said she was not interested in talking to me." [13]: Turns out AOC had something else to do besides talk — she had tweets to write. [14]: With a massive following on social media already built from her run against Crowley — she got more than half a million followers by herself after the win — Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter after her big upset win. [15]: And she went viral. [16]: For moderate politicians with mainstream ideas, it's easy. They say something about an issue on Twitter that most people agree with. They quickly rack up a few hundred likes. Maybe even 2,000 retweets. [17]: Then they move on. [18]: Tracey Wilkinson was thinking about that basic idea when she first tweeted AOC's words back in September. [19]: "2 months ago I got this response: 'Oh ya? Ya dang well better go get elected or otherwise shut up,' " Wilkinson retweeted then to AOC. [20]: That tweet got 15,000 retweets. [21]: "It's not just that it went viral," Wilkinson says. [22]: "It just exemplifies everything I've observed about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — that she really cared about things like low-income housing," Wilkinson explains. "As soon as she won her primary which was just six months ago, she immediately started talking about low-income housing." [23]: On Aug. 7, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted from her campaign account that there"isn't enough affordable housing being built" in New York City. "There has been 0% change since 2002 under Gov. Cuomo." [24]: That tweet sent Wilkinson her way. [25]: "Instantly it became about housing for me," Wilkinson says. "AOC had carried it with her for a long time." [26]: The tweet about Cuomo would go on to get nearly 20,000 likes on Twitter. Wilkinson says it sticks out for her because "in all good faith" Cuomo has tried to address New York City housing issues. [27]: "I think there are many people who have been working on this issue so hard," Wilkinson explains. "She really captured that feeling." She adds: "And I think for all her youthfulness she's got this thing right." [28]: Wilkinson thinks AOC has captured something else right: She's appealing not just to young people but older people too — like herself. She's 56. [29]: AOC's campaign really resonated with college students at Pace University in her district at first, says Brooklynn Harden Lee. She was a senior at Pace when Ocasio-Cortez was running against Crowley. [30]: "I would go door-to-door campaigning," Harden Lee says. "And I would be so astounded by all the middle-aged and older voters who would come out for her." After knocking on doors all around Flushing, Queens, she found they were looking for something different from their electeds. [31]: "These were lifelong Democrats," Harden Lee says. "But they really felt like no one cared about them." [32]: Now a senior policy adviser at Emory University's Blakely Center for International Politics, Harden Lee thinks Ocasio-Cortez's election is one aspect of "a year of resistance" — where people are taking politics back from special interests. [33]: "You've seen it all over," Harden Lee says — from progressives like Ocasio-Cortez running for seats like hers in New York City "all the way down to Congressional District 10 in Oklahoma" — where a Democrat beat an incumbent Republican in November. [34]: AOC's charisma has helped along with her message. [35]: During post-election events at her district offices in Elmhurst and Bay Ridge after last month's midterms, AOC told NPR that doesn't buy into identity politics either — and thinks there's more than enough room for newcomers who want a change. [36]: "The only people who will be suffering because we have a new generation coming in are those who are invested heavily in this corrupted system," Ocasio-Cortez said. "To them I say: 'Good riddance.' " [37]: Those comments make voters like Wilkinson happy. [38]: "I would love to see more people like AOC running for Congress," Wilkinson says. "And I think other politicians should kind of be listening." [39]: Your average politician might actually want to do just that. [40]: Pulse Poll [41]: One reason? AOC knows how to use Twitter. [42]: Tim Miller is a GOP consultant who is now chief digital strategist for Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy in Washington — which describes itself as bipartisan since it was formed by two former strategists for Democratic and Republican senators. [43]: Miller was reading through tweets about Ocasio-Cortez to prepare for a December project called Pulse Poll — which tracks words on social media to see how they influence opinions about political issues. [44]: So he looked up Ocasio-Cortez's Twitter handle when he discovered she had been mentioned "as part of an enormous spike" within his pool of more than 70,000 Twitter users back on Nov. 27. [45]: "Just over two weeks ago we saw tweets mentioning Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez begin rising dramatically," Miller says. [46]: Since then, audience connections with Ocasio-Cortez have increased by leaps: From almost no mentions just over two weeks ago to nearly 20 percent today. That ties her with Hollywood entertainer Adele for Twitter mentions this month within Pulse Poll audiences. [47]: Why? Miller sees Ocasio-Cortez successfully combining charisma with progressive policies. [48]: He points out how well Ocasio-Cortez did on Twitter even when her name wasn't directly mentioned: [49]: "When we ask our audiences what way is Congress headed over the next two years," Miller says, "4 percent say left. But when we ask what they think when we talk about Democrats like Ocasio-Cortez?" [50]: About 13 percent say left then. [51]: That was before AOC's speech before Congress last week where she called out ICE detention centers. On Monday, less than 48 hours after her speech aired on C-SPAN last Thursday (Nov. 29), Ocasio-Cortez's name appeared in over four times more tweets than Adele — as many mentions as any other prominent politician besides House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. [52]: Which may explain what Ocasio-Cortez means when she talks about "investors" to NPR. [53]: "I think you have two classes here," she says. [54]: The first class is progressives who are most likely young voters who don't have much
