Progressive False Idol, AOCRemember when Kamala Harris performed abysmally in the debates and had to drop out? Few Democrats liked her. Then when she was selected to run for president, the Democrats suddenly loved her. Supporting Kamala was so joyful!Something similar is currently unfolding for the Democrats. The progressives in that party are pushing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president. They know Bernie is burned out and their party is leaderless and rudderless, so they have elevated AOC to divine status. She is the new false idol of the Democrats. That’s because she cannot win any more than Kamala could.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the millennial messiah of the progressive Democrats, and Bernie Sanders, the 83-year-old socialist sage who’s been yelling about the 1% since time began, have teamed up. They are whipping up support on their “Fight the Oligarchy Tour.” Who cares if they have to pay people to show up.Critics whisper that she’s all style and no substance. They say she’s a false idol leading the flock astray with promises of free college and good vibes, but the devotees don’t care. “She’s the future!,” they cry, while ignoring the fact that Bernie has been preaching the same old commie sermon since before AOC was born.It’s a cosmic joke in the end: Her Worshipfulness would be more effective tending bar than tending Congress. As for the oligarchs, they’re the ones who still fund her campaign.—The GrrrTeam
