There’s an Easy Answer to Why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Won: Socialism

From The Intercept; worth reading. The reaction from the Republican lunatics teaches you nothing: everyone from Obama to Ocasio-Cortez are, to them, Stalinists.

But the reaction from Democrats and/or liberals? Very instructive. A taste:

Ocasio-Cortez’s socialist message is not an incidental part of a larger demographic story. And her socialism shouldn’t be treated as a virus opportunistically riding the vector of her Latina form. Socialism is inextricable from Ocasio-Cortez’s success because it’s the secret behind her ability to do what the Democratic party has long failed to do — articulate a holistic progressive vision for America.

And here’s the link to the interview in Vogue mentioned/linked in the Intercept piece.
