Protesting George Floyd’s murder wasn’t the "crazy" part. Centrist Dems selling out was. The post No, AOC: “Woke” Wasn’t “Crazy” the Way You Say It Was appeared first on The Intercept .
U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) commented on the actions of Democratic lawmakers during the 2020 protests, stating that they were not "crazy" when referring to their stance on defunding the police. During an appearance at a rally in Detroit, Ocasio-Cortez acknowledged the effectiveness of the protests in raising awareness about systemic racism and police brutality.
She noted that the discussions during that time were "quite fruitful" and that there was a "huge opening" in the Overton Window for policy changes. Ocasio-Cortez emphasized that while certain "woke" tendencies can hinder the development of a powerful multiracial, working-class left, the protests themselves were not crazy, as they involved over 20 million people demanding change.
