The more she pushes against their wishes – because they are not radical enough – the better off we are as a country due to internal fighting. A civil war between the radicals and establishment is sure to irritate the moderate Democratic electorate, either discouraging them or giving them a sense of apathy towards the party.
The media has made Ocasio-Cortez the face of the Democrats since her swear-in. She is propped up daily, and this seems to fuel her fire. However, go ahead and keep doing it. America needs to believe she is the left-wing party. Her ridiculous statements about morals being more important than facts, inability to explain simple economics – despite her being an economics major- and failure to disclose how to realistically come up with trillions and trillions of dollars for socialized healthcare is a plus for Republicans.
Ocasio-Cortez has created a splinter in the Democratic Party within a week. Now the leaders must play damage control and figure out how to deal with a media propped socialist. The scramble is going to be entertaining to watch. The fallout, however, will be more interesting to see.
