Ocasio-Cortez can tell a story. But she said a whole lot of nothing. In nearly 8 minutes, she managed to appeal to the crowd’s emotions, but where were the policies? Where was the agenda? This seems to be the theme of the Democrats in 2024—all fluff and no substance.
Yes, Trump is the opponent they want to defeat, but there’s such a thing as too much Trump. Instead of focusing on what they can do for the country, she focused on Trump and more Trump. Criticizing Trump’s corporate ties while ignoring your own is hypocrisy at its finest.
She claims to support the Green New Deal and Medicare for All, but did we hear anything about those? Not a word. She’s quick to mention her past as a waitress, but where’s the plan to actually help working-class people?
This was just more centrist, incrementalism, anti-Trump pandering. The speech lacked any bold statements or specifics.
