AOC Goes from Woke 1 to Woke 2: A New Left Coalition Forms
About this episode
The episode discusses Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's new messaging strategy for the Left, termed 'Woke 2', and its implications.
“Woke One was crazy.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, questioned this week on ABC about a fellow Democratic Socialist’s call to cancel Thanksgiving in 2020, rolled out a new messaging strategy for the Left. Woke 2 will try to distance itself from COVID-era messaging while still demanding that America be transformed to suit its latest grievance coalition. Plus: inflation of the racial oppression narrative, and the purge of liberal arts colleges. Recommended: AOC can’t escape ‘Woke One’ Why I Quit the Tenure Track This is a public episode.
