US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says that "the idea that voters should opt for Democrats simply because they are not former President Donald Trump is a deeply demoralizing message."

  • Cortez: the Idea that 'we're not Trump' is Enough for Democrats to Win Elections is 'Deeply Demoralizing'
    Cortez: Democrats may face problems.

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with The New York Times on Sunday that Democrats may face problems if they don't deliver the promises they made to voters.

She added that "The talking points are not enough... I’m very concerned about how people are going to interpret that a year from now."

Cortez lamented the compromises made in the Building Back Better Act and the $2 trillion social spending package.

The bill includes funds for universal preschool, child tax credits, and expanded Medicare.

She said "So let’s not go around and say, 'we’re going to replace every lead pipe in this country,' because according to the bipartisan infrastructure plan, that is not going to happen. That has not been funded. And if the Build Back Better Act gets cut even further, then that’s not going to happen."

"If those promises don’t follow through, it’s going to be very, very difficult for them to get votes on anything moving forward because the trust that was already so delicate will have been broken," Ocasio-Cortez added.

"This notion that saying 'We’re not Trump' is enough — this is such a deeply demoralizing message," she told The New York Times. 

This comes as a poll showed that US President Joe Biden received negative evaluations in dealing with economic inflation according to 67% of the participants, the immigration file with the opinion of 64%, the economy in general with the opinion of 61%, and foreign policy with the opinion of 58%.
