AOC's Woke Reset and the Democrats' Socialist Problem

Todd examines Democrats' effort to distance themselves from the excesses of woke politics as the midterm elections approach. He responds to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's discussion of "woke one," reviews the language rules, defund-the-police movement, DEI mandates, gender ideology, cancel culture, and other policies voters are now being asked to forget, and argues that the same underlying ideas remain. Todd also considers Hillary Clinton's warning that Republican attacks linking Democratic candidates to socialism and communism could be effective, explaining why those labels matter when prominent candidates openly embrace socialist policies.
