PoliTicks: AOC Rejoins the Democratic Socialists of America
Summary
The hosts mourn the deaths of Peter Cullen, Dolly Parton, and Tim Curry, reflecting on their legacies and the hosts' own aging parents. They then criticize Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for rejoining the DSA, arguing that democratic socialism promotes cronyism and ignores capitalist successes. The discussion shifts to the Lindsay Clancy tragedy, condemning left-wing figures for deflecting blame, before covering Florida’s new restrictions on EBT spending and the chaos in college football caused by NIL rules allowing former pros to return.
