Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a VOYAGER fan

From her twitter:

"As a kid, my parents let me stay up late and watch Captain Janeway lead her crew home through desperate straits, while lost in the galaxy. Couldn't have had a better example of a leader for these times. Thanks you @TheKateMulgrew."

Is it not better to not take the time and hurriedly misspell the character name than misspelling the name of the person playing the role?

Perhaps I'm cynical, but is she expecting everyone's going to vote for her because she likes a TV show? (It's a cool show but if she's making jokes about being other people...)

While joking around with a poster on Twitter, Ocasio-Cortez told that poster that “My identity has been exposed. I am actually Captain Catherine Janeway of the USS Voyager.”

I've seen Riker and Sisko's names misspelled so often, such things fail to phase me.

This is the first time I've heard a Trek fan being inspired into politics. I wonder what Kate thinks.

She thinks this from the article @Cutie McWhiskers linked

The tweet caught the attention of Kate Mulgrew, who replied “Captain Kathryn Janeway of the USS Voyager reporting to @Ocasio2018 – I’m very interested in assisting your campaign and taking it to warp speed at RED ALERT!”
