Ocasio-Cortez “best reflects the core values” of the Democratic Party, a CNN poll of voters recently found.
– but not the core values of the democratic leadership, as evidenced by pelosi cockblocking aoc from the oversight committee; sanders cockblocked from the nomination in the last 2 presidential elections; and the palestinians blocked from speaking at the convention in the last election; among other examples.
That’s why it’s so dangerous for Democratic leadership to keep ignoring and actively pushing against AOC’s popularity. The ideological distance between Democratic leadership and the voters that put them in power is vast. That’s a serious problem that they don’t seem to be reckoning with.
I do suspect it’s getting to the point where AOC and Sanders will either do their level best to somehow conduct a coup in DNC leadership… or, just say “fuck it” and actually make a real new party that actually does what Democrats have been saying they would do in campaign promises for decades. And, you know, give no quarter to fascists.
That’s a serious problem that they don’t seem to be reckoning with.
and nor will they ever have to since they’re the only perceived alternative to the republicans and the surest sign of it is schumer getting re-lected next time around despite his support for the latest cr.
