So we have Beto O'Rourke, Doug Jones and AOC saying the same thing. A political party whose leaders wanted to win would listen but Dem leaders are more into scapegoating outside groups.https://twitter.com/PatrickSvitek/status/1326965359744864257 …

Jeet Heer added,
They definitely are not all saying the same thing. Beto and Doug Jones, yes. AOC, not so much.
She's saying the exact same thing. People can't listen to what she's saying because she's a young woc.
Nope, she isn’t. Because AOC is not acknowledging the republicans are effectively running against her platform.
Fun fact: AOC doesn't set the platform. The party is headed by Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer. The inability of centrist Dems to own up to their own failures and look for scapegoats is astonishing.
AOC has her own personal platform as does every politician. You get that, right?
Why would her platform (that of a one congresswoman) be more important than the actual platform of the president-elect (who ran on anti-socialism, anti-Medicare for all and more money for cops), the House speaker and the Senate minority leader? How weak are they?
You can play dumb all you want but anti-socialism theme the republicans ran on was based on the specific policies offered by Bernie, Warren, AOC and other members of the squad. This really isn’t complicated.
If Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi can't convince people they are different than Bernie Sanders and AOC, then Biden and Pelosi are really, really bad at politics. Maybe they should figure out how to be better messengers.
JB & NP CAN convince ppl they're diff fr BS & AOC. They do so & successfully only bc they're well known & have larger platforms than most Dems. Yr avg Dem pol from Iowa can't-- not while RWng TV, radio etc call them socialist--which they've made into a dirty word to voters--daily
Wait, so you are positing a class of voters who can understand Joe Biden's policies different than AOC's but who also believe that their local congressperson, despite being a moderate, is closer to AOC than Biden. That seems unlikely.
No. Am saying {RWng TV, radio & social media calling all Dems socialists/Communists} affects candidates in e.g. Iowa who aren't as well known as JB-in a way that it doesn't affect JB who's been familiar for decades & has a big platform-or AOC who has a huge social media platform.
