Opinion | New York's Superstar Progressive Isn't A.O.C.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Afro-Latino, the son of a single mom who raised three children working as a mechanic's assistant on a minimum-wage salary of $4.25 an hour, a product of public housing and public schools, a half brother of two former prison inmates, an N.Y.U. dropout, the Bronx's first openly gay elected official when he won a seat on the City Council in 2013 at the age of 25 and the victor over a gay-bashing Christian minister when he won his House seat last year.
37% : It's also an F.D.R.-esque call to save capitalism from itself, lest the people Torres calls "the New Jacobins" gain further grip.
