Well if she’s not happy with low unemployment what does she want ?
You agree with her?
Her argument was that people assume just because the unemployment is low that everything is fine, however her point was low unemployment isn't the only measure and that many people are forced to work 60 hours or multiple jobs just to make ends meet.
If you disagree with her point that is one thing, but don't try to state she was calling for higher unemployment rate or she thinks low unemployment is bad

So she wants utopia for everyone. Cushy jobs and great pay for everybody. Why don’t she tell us how she will be able to create that kind of society.

Look, I am no fan of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and I increasingly believe that she won because at least a portion of her voters voted for her for racial and identity politics reasons. They certainly did not vote for her experience or that her opponent was not liberal enough.
Having said that, this article is some kind of propaganda piece and unfair to Cortez. It takes her lines out of context and tells us what to think instead of showing us what she really said and letting us make our own decision. For instance the line that the low US unemployment rate "is part of the problem", makes it look like she likes high unemployment. But if you read the article, it does not appear she meant it like that at all. It is hard to say because the article leaves out key lines of what she said.
Not sure if I can find the link, but it is interesting to note that there really was no correlation between the racial or ethnic makeup of an area and how it voted. She ran better in the Queens portion of the district than the Bronx and Astoria and Ditmars-Steinway (generally one of the whitest portions of the district) was actually one of her strongest. Not saying identity politics didn't play any role, but she ultimately won because she came out with a fresh voice (agree with her or not), campaigned hard for the seat and Crowley just took it for granted, really didn't campaign, go out and speak to constituents and thought he could send mailers out to victory
There is a middle somewhere that doesn't pay one $150 billion and another minimum wage (or less).
There are 320 million people with varying degrees of intelligence and skill sets, neither you or anyone else has any idea where the middle is.
And certainly it should be left to individuals, not politicians or bureaucrats where people settle in the scheme of an economy.

I never claimed to know the middle. Again, theory is a wonderful thing.....except in reality.
