Ocasio-Cortez is even pissing off some Democrats. She’s so odious and obnoxious that Democrats are talking about creating a Democrat Tea Party because so many ioppose her wrong ideas.
John Anzalone, an Alabama-based Democratic pollster, said the perception that the party’s primary voters are enthusiastically liberal is not based on data.
“There is, without a doubt, a myth that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez somehow represents the narrative of Democratic primary voters in the country,” Anzalone said. “Almost half of them identify themselves as moderates or conservative.”
The new liberal energy in the House is sort of a myth because it’s coming from candidates like Ocasio-Cortez, who captured Democrat voters in Democrat majority districts, hardly even a win. Some Democrat strategists say liberal activists must recognize their message wouldn’t work in more conservative areas.
“People would be wise to remember that, by definition, we have the House majority because people flipped seats from red to blue,” said Tyler Law, a Democratic consultant who helped direct the party’s communications efforts in 2018. “Seats that went from blue to blue did not deliver the majority.”
There are a lot of people like Ocasio-Cortez who suck up a lot of oxygen but then there’s the people that do the work. They’re the ones who actually govern.
