AOC got most of it correct. Moderates handcuffing Biden from giving America their wants hurt. But so does a derelict media.
AOC hits the nail on the head.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) appeared on MSNBC with the host Mehdi Hasan on the 11th Hour to discuss MidTerm 2022. As usual, she did not disappoint. And her statements should lay to rest that Biden has moved too far to the left. She correctly places blame at the hands of Moderate and Conservative Democrats for his poll number fall. Her response about the statements to that effect by the failed moderates is prescient.
“What they don’t want to admit is that Biden has governed pretty much exactly the way they have asked him to,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “But the problem is that the way they have asked him to govern has been to slow down, not do too much, and we are now seeing the political consequences of not directly improving people’s lives quickly.”
AOC then points out an inconvenient truth.
“Here’s the thing,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “I can’t point to one major agenda where Progressives or this so-called Left sidelined the action of the party in some dramatic fashion that can lead to this. I mean, the moderate end of the party has received everything that they have wanted from President Biden, including President Biden as the nominee himself. They got their President. They got their agenda. They got their sequence; they got their infrastructure plan with no BBB. They got all of it, and I can’t really point to any real substantive or serious or intellectually rigorous argument as to anything that the Progressive Wing has done aside from supporting President Biden oftentimes more than the Moderate wing of the party has in a way that could lead to sinking poll numbers.”
The Congresswoman then points out a few things Biden could do to improve his poll numbers. This would make a much improves 2022.
“When you don’t change people’s lives, people get upset,” the Congresswoman said. “And we can improve people’s lives. We can forgive student loan debt, and we can improve his poll numbers while we’re at it.”
It is painful to know what Americans are asking for, having the ability to solve these problems while remaining impotent to an elitist group of politicians. ALL who have not supported Build Back Better are wards of the Plutocracy, Oligarchy, and Corporatocracy.
I think Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez got everything correct. But I think she missed the complicity of the mainstream media and the Right-Wing Media in concert with the Plutocracy to misinform with either lies or omissions.
