Ocasio-Cortez: Biden agenda 'a little hazy'

[Escurumbele]

23. No, it is not damaging talk. She is a progressive and we know Biden and Harris are not, so there

is nothing wrong for her, and for us, to demand more progressive policies, otherwise we will have more of the same. If I am not mistaken, that was one of the issues many people who opposed Biden in the primaries had, the fact that he is not progressive and he would bring more of the same, which will get us nowhere.

I understand that there is a lot of rebuilding to do, I am not blind about that, but he also needs to bring in a progressive agenda, he cannot forget that progressives went out there campaigning for him and their vote counted. Bernie and AOC were hard at work to help get the votes for Biden/Harris, and if he wants to get reelected in 2024 he better push some progressive ideas in the mix, it CAN be done.

If we look at the History of the USA, the best times the country has had was with progressive governments, Theodore Roosevelt, FDR, even Bill Clinton. We need to, as a country, to move into more progressive ideas if we want to survive, people get discouraged and angry when things do not change for the better, and to stay with what we have had for 50 years, or more, will not advance the country.

Not sure why AOC gets so much criticism in DU, I believe she is great, and no one puts republicans in the trash more than she does. Like President Obama said, she needs a bigger platform, I believe President Obama understands the value she brings to the Democratic party, and to the nation.
