Democratic strategist Julian Epstein criticized Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for lacking broad appeal outside the progressive base. Appearing on Newsmax, he argued that her style represents a narrow culture that resonates with online activists but not with the majority of voters. Despite coming in second in a Yale poll for a potential 2028 presidential run, Epstein believes her brand of progressivism is insufficient for winning general elections. He described the current Democratic Party as toxic, failing to respond effectively to the concerns of a wider electorate.
I think while she's very popular within progressive activist circles, I don't see the appeal being wider than that, he said.
I think she's got incredible appeal within the progressive bubble. But I don't think she has broad appeal beyond that.
AOC highlights what I think is becoming the culture, which is it's becoming an OnlyFans type of culture.
The current Democratic Party brand is toxic as they are no longer responding to voters.
