She defeated the Chairman of the Democratic Conference by taking his seat in an upset victory. She did it by bringing out the populist left, which absolutely terrified establishment Dems, who would rather let the country burn than move an inch to the left.

Because shes a populist who seems to fight for the things she preaches so people have built their hopes around her.

I'm my experience (as an Australian on the outside) she's one of the few that preaches policies that benefit people right wing parties are blatantly for billionaires (if not just straight up the party of a billionaire in Australia's case) and the traditional/major "left wing" parties are more interested in maintaining the status quo with half measures and compromises. But a lot of actual lefty parties never get anything done because they let perfect get in the way of good.

From what I've seen her policies are things that would benefit most people, and are reasonable. That's rare these days.
