Democrats haven’t grown up from ‘Woke 1’ — they’ve grown nuttier still

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaking at a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Post Editorial Board wants to know: did AOC make her big egg-freezing announcement to try to bury her "Woke 1 was crazy" debacle? Chris duMond/Shutterstock

Did Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez make her big egg-freezing announcement to try to bury her “Woke 1 was crazy” debacle?

Because we’re realizing we went too easy on her about it: The fact is, the biggest problem isn’t how her comment wrote off the left’s past toxicity, but how it skips over the many ways in which the entire Democratic Party has grown crazier.

Bad enough that AOC pretends 2020 was just an invigorating time when “the doors were really open” to visionaries who wanted to “entertain any and every policy that was going to get us to a better place,” a gimmick that somehow is supposed to make everyone forget Black Lives Matter rioting as well as actual defunding of police.

Not to mention how much of that madness — in particular, the “decarceration” policies that dictate not locking up nearly all criminals — continues to guide public policy in much of Blue America.

Nor the widespread adoption of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies that meant naked, extreme racial discrimination, much of which remains in place — especially in academia, and even in medical schools.

Somehow, we’re supposed to forget all that, just because AOC, now looking at a possible 2028 presidential run, is trying to look more sober and pragmatic.

But if that were true, then AOC and the rest of the hard left would display some evidence of having moderated their positions, when they’re actually crazier than ever.

They’ve turned hard against Israel, with nearly half of House Dems recently voting to cut off all aid to the Jewish state — and with Ocasio-Cortez herself calling to block funds for the Defense Department (in the middle of a war) because of bizarre conspiracy theories about Israel taking control of the Pentagon.

Leftist Dems have stopped chanting “Defund the police,” but they still want to shift funding away from conventional policing and toward empty “community-based solutions,” just as under “Woke 1.”

Democrats haven’t backed off an inch on the craziest “gender” policies, either: Don’t dare question “trans rights.”

And while “Abolish ICE” sounds like Dems have an issue with how one agency is run, what the still-rising left really means is abolish all enforcement of immigration law: They want to “legalize migration,” meaning open borders — and then grant voting rights to everyone.

And of course the Democratic Socialists of America platform calls for eliminating not only the Electoral College and the Senate, but also reducing the president and the Supreme Court to mere tools of a national legislature.

Nor is the regular Democratic Party much better: Supposed moderates like James Carville and Pete Buttigieg are endorsing plans to pack the Supreme Court and make states out of Puerto Rico and Washington DC in order to hand the party four guaranteed Senate seats.

Yes, sane Democrats demur from embracing all these radical plans, but few dare call out how most of the party is speeding headlong toward Crazy Town.

We understand the public’s discontent with President Donald Trump and other Republicans, but the problem for voters this fall is that the Democrats refuse to offer anything resembling a sane alternative.
