The use of "woke" and "political" in this hypercontextualist style is so vague as to border on non-expression.

The use of "woke" is vague?

Unfathomable, no way anyone would use the term "woke" in a vague way, especially not a presidental candidate.

You're completely missing the more useful point. The right says "woke and political," implicitly referencing the complex change I described above. The left quotes the right saying "woke and political" as an implicit dismissal of civil rights, diversity, representation, etc. Both of these lazy-ass anachronisms suck big huge elephant dicks and ruin the political discourse in the media.
