To answer your final question. Yes. American politics has gone so far off the rails that AOC speaking common sense is something that is no longer normal.
For example:
“We should feed children too poor to buy school lunches!”
“Nooooo that’s SoCiAlIsM!”
Meanwhile bailing out a bank because their friend’s stock gamble didn’t pay off is just the American way
American politics: Socialism for the elite, capitalism for everyone else.
This is the BASIC bullshit that AOC and people like her call out and she’s labeled an extremist for it.
