Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez now claims identity politics is a distraction

New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is rumored to be looking at running for President in 2028.

But Ocasio-Cortez knows she has a bad problem on her hands if she does.

And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to hide one dirty secret that will cost her everything.

A Yale University poll shows Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez zooming up to second place in a 2028 Democrat primary.

But winning a nomination is one thing.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s support for leftwing causes like men playing women’s sports makes her uber popular with the party base.

But it also paints her as extreme and unelectable to a general election audience.

Donald Trump won the popular vote in part because Americans were sick of Democrats imposing woke ideology on society.

DEI seminars and policies at school and work left people walking on eggshells in effort to avoid getting canceled if they accidentally used the wrong pronouns or didn’t pay appropriate tribute to George Floyd and Black Lives Matter.

Americans elected Donald Trump to end the era of woke.

And Trump did just that by signing executive orders banning DEI in government, biological men in women’s sports, and establishing an official policy of there only being two genders.

Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders took their radical roadshow to Idaho where Ocasio-Cortez engaged in the mother of all gaslighting.

In her speech, Ocasio-Cortez claimed identity politics was a concept Republicans invented to distract people from their supposed plot to cut taxes for the rich and rig the economy for Elon Musk and his fellow billionaires.

“The only chance they have to get away with such an unpopular and hurtful agenda is to stoke deep divisions along race, identity and culture to keep us fighting and distracted. It’s not going to work anymore,” Ocasio-Cortez declared.

Ocasio-Cortez warned it was Republicans trying to divide Americans along racial lines.

“Don’t let them trick us into thinking we are enemies. Don’t let them trick us into being weak and being into thinking we can be separated into rural and urban, black and white and Latino,” Ocasio-Cortez continued.

Ocasio-Cortez’s own history shows this is false.

Back in the summer of 2020, Ocasio-Cortez led the movement to defund the police.

Following the death of George Floyd, Ocasio-Cortez claimed communities needed to defund the police because law enforcement served as racist oppressors who jailed black defendants while providing opportunities to rehabilitate white defendants.

“It looks like a suburb. Affluent white communities already live in a world where the choose to fund youth, health, housing etc more than they fund police. These communities have lower crime rates not because they have more police, but bc they have more resources to support healthy society in a way that reduces crime,” Ocasio-Cortez remarked.

“Why doesn’t the criminal system care about Black teens’ futures the way they care for White teens’ futures? Why doesn’t the news use Black people’s graduation or family photos in stories the way they do when they cover White people (eg Brock Turner) who commit harmful crimes? Affluent White suburbs also design their own lives so that they walk through the world without having much interruption or interaction with police at all aside from community events and speeding tickets (and many of these communities try to reduce those, too!)” Ocasio-Cortez added.

Ocasio-Cortez is one of the 2028 Democrat Party frontrunners.

Polling guru Nate Silver pegged her as the favorite for the nomination.

But if Ocasio-Cortez is the Democrat Party nominee, her toughest opponent could be her own past support for toxic and unpopular woke ideology and socialist economics that are deal breakers for voters.
