AOC has a warning for Democrats, and they should probably listen.
But will they?
The aftermath of the Democrats’ loss of the Virginia gubernatorial race has been exactly as one would have expected. Nevermind the fact that progressive lawmakers like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez weren’t even asked to send an email involved with Virginia’s election, somehow they’re still being blamed for the loss. Like clockwork, we can always depend on the narrative being spun to imply the party is moving too far to the left, conveniently ignoring how incredibly popular policy proposals that the left fights for have become. Regardless, I might add, of political party. All that being said, thankfully AOC has decided to take it upon herself to do what she can to shift the narrative. Instead, she argues, a lot of the problems ahead for the democratic party lie with failure to deliver.
In regards to the build back better act in an interview with The New York Times, AOC argues:
“…I think that if we pass the Build Back Better Act as the House passed it, that we have a shot to go back to our communities and say we delivered. But that’s not to say that this process has not been demoralizing for a lot of folks, because there were enormous promises made. Not just at the beginning, and not just during the election, but that continued to be made.
