The idea that voters should opt for Democrats because they are not Donald Trump is a deeply demoralizing message, according to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
In an interview with The New York Times that was published Sunday, the New York congresswoman said Democrats could be in trouble if they don't deliver on their promises.
She said the talking points weren't enough. You have to give me something to work with. How can I argue that they should turn out again if you're not?
She was upset with the compromises made in the Build Back Better Act, the $2 trillion social-spending package, and the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
According to the bipartisan infrastructure plan, it is not going to happen to replace every lead pipe in this country. She said that that has not been funded.
If Democrats don't keep their promises, voter turnout will suffer.
She told The Times that saying "We're not Trump" is a deeply demoralizing message.
The social-spending package that underwent major cuts after opposition from Sen. Joe Manchin and other democrats, was one of the things that clashed over Biden's domestic agenda.
Universal preschool, child tax credits, and the expansion of Medicare are included in the bill. The Senate needs the support of every Democrat in order to pass it, and it passed the House on Friday.
If the bill passes the Senate, the Democrats have a chance to go back to their communities and say we delivered, according to The Times.
