Dem Operatives Say Ocasio-Cortez Media Coverage Could Derail Party In 2020

Top Democrats are quietly circulating a poll from May showing swing state voters are tying New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s brand of progressive liberalism with the mainstream Democratic Party, Axios reported Sunday.

Those distributing the poll say swing voters know and dislike socialism, with some operatives warning the connection could cost the Democratic Party the House and the presidency. One operative lamented the over-sized amount of media coverage Ocasio-Cortez and her progressive colleagues are attracting.

“If all voters hear about is AOC, it could put the [House] majority at risk,” a top Democrat involved in 2020 congressional races told Axios, addressing the poll’s details. “She’s getting all the news and defining everyone else’s races.” The poll included 1,003 likely voters who are white and have two years or less of college education.

More than 74% of voters in the poll recognized Ocasio-Cortez, with 22% of people surveyed holding a favorable view. One of the New York Democrat’s colleague, Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, received a similar level of fanfare among those polled. She was recognized by 53% of the voters, with 9% of people holding a favorable view of her.

The poll, which was shared to Axios on the condition of anonymity, shows swing voters don’t think much of Ocasio-Cortez’s brand of Democratic socialism. Socialism was viewed favorably by 18% of the voters and unfavorably by 69%.. . . . . .(SNIP)

This could have an interesting shake out a long time in the making. What it really does is try to draw the line between liberals and progressives.

Wasn’t the socialism scare tactic the narrative during the midterms? How did that shake out?

Presidential election years draws more voters, so it could hurt the left if Trump can win again...

This is common sense. The majority of Democrats in red states are not going to be as progressive. Most of them will be centrists and blue dogs. If Rep Cortez wants to execrate them for not marching in lockstep with her politics, she will make it that much easier for the GOP to take those seats. Another example of her neophyte experience in the HoR.

You gop-phers are more into AOC than me. She is not the maj of Democrats. But I'm glad she has a voice. She is an up and comer, I sure hope she doesn't go rogue like the gop-hers have done.

They seemed obsessed with AOC... They also don'y define what they mean by Socialism... AOC has defined her self as a Democratic Socialist..

They think socialism is like commune living. All money goes in pot and we use what we need.

The fact is that is so much bullshit. The polling shows that Democrats have held a consistent lead in the generic ballot with a 8.8% lead in the RCP averages. People are concerned about healthcare not socialism. They are concerned that the rich and big businesses got big tax cuts and are not sharing the wealth. You may call that socialism but most people don't. What have they got passed? Nothing. Voters are not stupid.

They didn’t gain much when you look at history, and trump is packing the courts

If she is defining the party then why does she have to execrate them? Voters are not as stupid as you think and can tell the difference.

I don’t really care about history, that’s just the spin retort. I look at the fact that the dems took the house mostly with moderate candidates. Not with AOC socialist like y’all try and paint. Honest agreements will earn respect, not the spin jobs

How do you draw a line between two nothings because those on the left are neither liberal or progressive? They just like the tags but they dont fit what they are and what they do.

Those mods are already speaking out against AOC. She is the easiest target for you all so you make the whole thing about her. It’s a lazy attack. Very transparent.
