Today in stupid headlines:
From the New York Times: “Ocasio-Cortez Pushes Democrats to the Left, Whether They Like It or Not.”
People, AOC has been in Congress for 11 days. She’s not pushing Democrats left. VOTERS are pushing Democrats to the left, at least in some districts. She’s evidence of a shift as much as a cause of it.
However much influence Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might eventually have in the political system, her influence is only beginning. Attributing vast political shifts to Congresspeople who have only recently entered office, and whose election did not explain why lots of other Congresspeople won their offices at the same time, is just silly.
