Since her surprise primary victory over 10-term Congressman Joe Crowley in New York's 14th District, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been promoted by the legacy media as the prototype of a new generation of young progressives destined to replace the leadership of the Democratic Party.
It's not just her rote advocacy of single-payer healthcare and guaranteed government jobs, or even that she backs wacky ideas like abolishing ICE and occupying airports - Ocasio-Cortez is genuinely clueless.
During a PBS interview with Margaret Hoover, for example, Ocasio-Cortez was unable to provide a coherent answer to a softball economics question that could have been successfully fielded by any Econ 101 student at a community college.
Ironically, even if the number of people working multiple jobs was part of the unemployment calculation, Ocasio-Cortez's claim that "Everyone has two jobs" is absurd.
Incredibly, the various comments Ocasio-Cortez has made on unemployment and capitalism have been absolutely brilliant compared to her often conflicting effusions on international relations and history.
Sadly, Ocasio-Cortez appears to be impervious to education and unable to articulate a consistent position on Israel.
Until Ocasio-Cortez beat Joe Crowley in the Democratic primary, she was able to parrot the party line of the Democratic Socialists with no pushback.
