From Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger:
Like other progressives, I was very happy when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortz won the Democratic primary for a U.S. House seat from New York City (The Bronx). I think she’s going to make a great representative.
What I am not so happy about is what she has been saying in her trips around the country and on TV. She has been saying a couple of things that simply are not true. She says unemployment is low because “everyone has two jobs”, and because people are people are “working 60, 70, 80 hours a week”.
Dishonesty or just ignorance from someone who, given her education and aspirations, should know better? Either way, I’m disappointed and irritated that conservatives get another chance to associate progressivism/democratic socialism with stupidity — not that they have any intellectual standards for their own kind.
