Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez argues that the internal struggle in the Democratic Party shouldn't be viewed as a divide between progressives and moderates. Instead, she emphasizes the importance of economic populism as a unifying force that prioritizes the welfare of ordinary people. Alongside Senator Bernie Sanders, she is advocating for a message that can resonate with both factions of the party. Ocasio-Cortez believes tapping into anti-Trump sentiments and promoting bold ideas is key for Democrats to regain inspiration and electoral success, proving that she is a significant figure in shaping party direction.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez believes her party can come together around fighting for the little guy and gal, a core value she insists does not belong to any particular ideological camp.
There's not enough of that in the party right now. There is clearly plenty of anti-Trump energy to be harnessed so much so that the president was nervous enough about possibly losing a red-district race.
