What AOC gets right – and wrong – about ‘Woke 1.0’ | Francine Prose

Francine Prose praised Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her clarity and intelligence, stating she is consoled by her during times of national fear. However, Prose expressed surprise when AOC quoted an ally saying that "Woke 1.0 was crazy," and she herself admitted to feeling unnerved by AOC's use of the word "woke." The discussion highlighted AOC calling for moderation on progressive positions like defunding the police or military.
