Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of “the squad” are just the beginning of problems for House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi and the left. Socialism—and not the soft, “Scandinavian” kind—is building so much momentum that soon, it could come to define the modern-day left.My colleague Jarrett Stepman shed light on this in attending the “Socialism 2019” conference in
