"I can tell you that those who "continue the fight" do not deserve to be lauded and hailed as though they are some kind of original trailblazers or as though this is all brand new and their original cause that nobody ever noticed before.

So... The OP you responded to did not laud or hail AOC in any way, much less as though she had started anything. I'm also not seeing anyone in this whole thread doing such a thing... It was just a simple thank you.

There is no mention of any "fight" or "fighting" in the OP's quotes, not even where it came from.
