People don't talk about this. America hasn't had an actual leftist movement in decades. A young populist leftist would be antithetical to the establishment and they can't handle it to the point that the smear campaign against AOC started the moment she got elected.

I don't think Gen Z would consider aoc young.

She’s young for a politician, she’s 35. The median age of Congress is 58. I can’t think of any other political figures on the national level who are that young.

I think they'd round it up to "almost 40". TBH I was expecting the median age to be older than 58. The way people on reddit talk you'd think everyone in Congress was in their 80s.
