The article critiques establishment Democrats for their shift towards centrist policies, arguing that such moves could alienate voters who prefer authentic progressive platforms. The commentary highlights a dissatisfaction with the current Democratic strategy, suggesting that many voters desire systemic change but struggle to articulate their needs. It positions Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) as a leading figure for the party's future, advocating for a clear vision of progressive reform that resonates with the electorate's aspirations.
It's insane that establishment Democrats think they went too far left and want to embrace centrist policies. Nobody is going to vote for the 'diet Republicans' if the real ones are right there.
If it's one thing this presidential election made clear, it's that whatever Dems are doing now is not working or popular. People want progressive reform, they just don't know it, and current Democrats are horrible at outlining it. That's why AOC is the party's future.
