Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is trying to draw a line between today's left and its pandemic-era "woke" politics. In an appearance on ABC's This Week over the weekend, the New York City congresswoman said controversial positions embraced around 2020—defunding the police, for example— were "a product of the time."

They lie about how centrist they are - then when elected go far left.

Case in point: My governor Abigail Spunkbooger.

Just knowing she worked for the CIA made me mistrust her.

I think electing squawds from the Caribbean and hos from Somalia and the other African dung heaps may have gone too far also.

You're right. Six weeks after WOKE politicians are re-elected they go right back to crazy. Some go back to crazy the next day.

Nice try. Too little, too late. Oh, and she's known to lie every chance she gets, particularly phony photo ops.

“A Product of the Time” translates to “We let the mask slip.”

Braying Ass is just trying to make voters believe she is a moderate rather than the extreme left communist her history proves she is….So yeah she is stupid, but hopes democrat voters are even stupider(usually a safe bet).

Exactly. These days, there are “U.S. Citizens” who live all over the world who have never been to America or any of its states or worthless “possessions” either.

‘They’, as in the Left and media handmaidens et al, want us to forget. Notice how the four years of Biden and what was done to this country are assiduously avoided.

It’s the Virginia snow job and it is how rats got elected for decades. MSM is begging them to adopt it. SDA is not playing ball. If necessary, they will be cheated out of winning like Hong was in Wisconsin.
