Ep. 5 - Why AOC Represents Everything Wrong with Modern Democrats


Listen Later

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might run for president in 2028. She’s polling in the top 3, raised $15 million this year, and draws crowds of 30,000+. And that should terrify you.

This is a congresswoman who couldn’t name the three branches of government. Who got basic economics wrong despite having an economics degree. Who thinks being “morally right” matters more than being “factually correct.” And she’s one of the Democratic Party’s leading presidential candidates.

What does that tell you about where the Democrats are?

In this episode, I break down:

* AOC’s most embarrassing gaffes (three branches mistake, Pentagon math, Milton Keynes)

* Her radical policies (eliminating private health insurance, $50-90 trillion Green New Deal, 70% taxes)

* Why she’s famous for getting facts wrong but Democrats don’t care

* The polls showing she could actually win the nomination

* What this says about the Democratic Party’s direction

This isn’t about attacking AOC personally—it’s about examining her record, her policies, and asking why someone with this background is considered presidential material.

Whether you’re new to politics or deeply informed, this episode gives you the facts about AOC that mainstream media won’t cover honestly. We go through documented gaffes, fact-checker ratings, and policy positions with full context.
