The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article is related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this article:
You may not make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on this article (except in limited circumstances)
You must follow the bold-revert-discuss cycle if your change is reverted. You may not reinstate your edit until you post a talk page message discussing your edit and have waited 24 hours from the time of this talk page message
Violations of any of these restrictions should be reported immediately to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard.
Editors who are aware of this topic being designated a contentious topic and who violate these restrictions may be sanctioned by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:
Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as obvious vandalism.
In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.
Whenever you are relying on one of these exemptions, you should refer to it in your edit summary and, if applicable, link to the discussion where consensus was clearly established.
If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

In previous discussion, consensus overwhelmingly supported adding this section of the infobox, because it's pertinent and highly reported. 2019 discussion. I believe the same.
The DSA is not a party, it's a nonprofit organization no matter how hard some people wish and hope and pray that it is, and until they make legal steps to do so, and if/when AOC makes the decision to leave the Democratic Party and register as a DSA voter/candidate for office, it will remain inappropriate and false to call it "other political affiliations." We should not be going down a rabbit hole where every semi-official grouping gets listed as nauseam in infoboxes because someone wants to shove that Josh Gottheimer is a "Blue Dog+NewDem+Problem Solver". Describe her political positions and organizational membership in the DSA in the article where it belongs. Same holds for the WFP, which just throws an array of Dems their ballot line and/or endorsement off and on various election cycles but does NOT indicate such Dems are political party member of the WFP (and they quite literally have never been in NY). So it's highly inappropriate and even more incorrect to list that under "other" in the infobox since it's objectively untrue. Again, mention the connection in the text and of course break down the vote allocation in her electoral history where it belongs. Both DSA and WFP in the infobox is misleading and undue weight.

I've removed it per this discussion and the above; it seems to have been added in an effort to force WP:FALSEBALANCE (the editor who added it has focused heavily on comparing her to Marjorie Taylor Greene) but as far as I can tell no discussions ever producing a consensus for inclusion. It's not a primary focus of coverage about her, nor is it what she's most famous for; the coverage about her doesn't really focus on one particular term in the sense that it implies. --Aquillion (talk) 03:36, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The above 2601 /64 range has a history of vandalizing articles changing them to say the subject is far=left despite sources saying otherwise. Doug Wellertalk10:24, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
At the end of the third paragraph of the article, change: “She was reelected in the 2020 and 2022 elections.”
to
“She was reelected in the 2020, 2022, and 2024 elections.”
It is hilarous to see an editor (an individual human being) contribute anonymously from their IP address, and then berate other editors for contributing anonymously. If you don’t have the guts to put your name with what you write, then don’t write! Well IP editor, at least I got a chuckle out of your blatant hypocrisy. I happen to be an editor who discloses my real world identity but nobody is obligated to do so on the #7 website worldwide. As for attribution, if you actually knew what you are talking about, you would already know that this article is already attributed to 1283 different editors, who you are free to investigate if you have the competence to do so.

Someone removed this, but it seems to be what the sources say; Pappas didn't even campaign, while the source for the election against Forte says that she "glided to victory" and calls Forte's challenge "nominal." It's just not a competitive district (not in the general election), which is not uncommon in New York, so saying that she won easily isn't exceptional the way it might be in more swing-y districts - it's something coverage of elections in these sorts of districts often highlights this way. --Aquillion (talk) 13:37, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! i would like to change Ms.ocasio cortez's committee Asignment she is no longer serving on the committee on oversight and accountability she is now a new member of the House committee on Energy and commerce.
In the part of the page where it says "Ocasio-Cortez has been described as progressive, left-wing, left-wing populist, and far-left.". Isn't the far-left label similar to the one used for La France Insoumise? Aka, a label used by their critics?
I don't think the label and the sources should be removed for "far-left", but I believe a footnote and/or extra sentence mentioning how the "far-left" is mainly used by her critics should be discussed and perhaps added to her page. ZlatanSweden10 (talk) 20:52, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
