“We went to the moon. We electrified the nation,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “We established civil rights. We enfranchised the country. We digged deep and we did it. We did it when no one else thought that we could. That’s what we did when so many of us won an election this year.”

She is so historically illiterate. It might be fun to talk with her about civil rights cases and describe some of them as great advances for civil rights when they were not. I would love to see her publicly boast about how progressives all supported the Dred Scott decision and advanced equality with the Plessy versus Fergeson case.
