She doesn't take any shit and she doesn't just let things go quietly like most politicians seem to do. She openly mocks who needs to be mocked and then holds the people accountable even after they try to silently get rid of the evidence. She is EXACTLY the shot in the arm that the Dems needed. She has weaponized the strength of social media. Instead of using it as a way to get her policies out there like most politicians do she is also using it to shine a spotlight on hypocrisy, fear-mongering, and inequality. And does it on while still maintaining the moral high ground and maintaining her relatability. She doesn't rely on a news conference or a public statement. She puts her thoughts out there into the world in easily relatable and easily digestible forms. For example....

Oh, does @eScarry think he can delete his misogyny without an apology? I don't think so. You're a journalist - readers should know your bias.
