AOC lays marker down for Biden-democrat party is incompetent
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called the Democrat Party “incompetent” for not placing progressives in top positions, warning former Vice President Joe Biden that if he does not select far-left people for top positions, the Democrats will lose big in the 2022 midterm elections.
Ocasio-Cortez told the New York Times that she sharply rejected the notion that progressive messaging around the Green New Deal and the Black Lives Matter movement led to the loss of congressional seats this election cycle.
The real problem is that she said Democrats could not run campaigns.
“There’s a reason Barack Obama built an entire national campaign apparatus outside of the Democratic National Committee,” she told the Times. “And there’s a reason that, when he didn’t activate or continue that, we lost House majorities. Because the party — in and of itself — does not have the core competencies, and no amount of money is going to fix that.”
LOL
Nice revisionist history.
Obama rode a blue wave in 2008 that included a clean sweep of legislative government with 257 House seats and 55 Senate votes.
Just two years later after he and Pelosi mis-managed the stimulus bill and OBAMACARE 64 House members were gone.By 2014 the GOP had the Senate. (It still does) If Obama had a strategy to work outside the party structure it didn’t work(except maybe for HIS re-election)
