She is the socialist social media superstar of the Instagram era. He is the populist kid politician of the Trump age. Together, they could become the legislative power couple of the century, the bipartisan one-two punch that no one wants but everyone deserves.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., should consider teaming up to take on the majoritarian establishment that is the greatest impediment to progress. The 29-year-old Ocasio-Cortez and the 36-year-old Gaetz could team up on marijuana, climate change, or anything that might irk leaders of both parties.

This wouldn’t be a marriage of political convenience. Both millennial representatives should be left to their own devices when it comes to dinner dates. But the two have something unmistakable in common: the establishment loves to hate both of them.

With good reason. Ocasio-Cortez and Gaetz have an annoying habit of acting independently and in the interest of their constituents over their respective party establishments. Politico recently detailed the frustration of Democratic brass with Ocasio-Cortez. She can stay in the spotlight on Instagram, they seem to be saying, so long as she falls in line with the party.

“I’m sure Ms. Cortez means well, but there’s almost an outstanding rule: Don’t attack your own people,” said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo. “We just don’t need sniping in our Democratic Caucus.”

That is good advice for a long and boring and austere career in Congress where plush committee positions are meted out on the basis of seniority, not skill. It just isn’t the best way to get things done judging by the last couple centuries of legislative history.

Ocasio-Cortez and Gaetz know how to get attention, so of course this would irk the powers that control the majoritarian House. They are as likely to get a glowing magazine profile or a primetime media spot as they are to receive a private admonishment from their party’s leadership. This has been good for their personal brands so far. Now they should make it good for their policy goals.

Instead of chasing after committee positions that don’t matter, and instead of authoring dust bin bills with no chance of passage, the two should team up immediately. Despite their many ideological differences, there are a enough areas the two agree upon where they could make legislation happen.

The two could have a damn good time together turning Washington on its ear. At least it’s fun to think so.
