Summary
Ocasio-Cortez And The Far Left Are Poisoning Democrat Policy. When it comes to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez her repeated gaffes and nonsensical statements becomes easy targets for the right to go after policy positions.
Ocasio-Cortez was paraded around by Democrats so much that she became to prominent for her experience level. Thus we see it again and again. Twitter flame wars, nonsensical gaffes, and a mainstream media that enjoys calling her out as much as Conservatives and Republicans do.
Her policy positions and rhetoric is speaking to a tiny minority of the US. If Democrats want to see change and bipartisan support for certain bills they need to recognize the damage Ocasio-Cortez does to these plans.

| 0:00.0 | When it comes to policy positions, I actually agree with Ocasio-Cortez on many issues. |
| 0:04.6 | The problem is that she's a gaff queen, and she repeatedly says false or nonsensical |
| 0:08.8 | statements that makes it hard to present good ideas for moderate or bipartisan support. |
| 0:14.2 | Even politic fact, and the Washington Post, have had to call her out for saying things |
| 0:18.1 | that make no sense. |
| 0:19.4 | And it's not just true of Ocasio-Cortez, but for many people associated with the far |
| 0:23.2 | left and the new progressive members of the Democratic Party. |
| 0:26.3 | They don't know how to communicate their ideas to moderates and Republicans, and they're |
| 0:30.4 | actually a small percentage of the American population. |
| 0:33.9 | This means when it comes to good ideas like the Green New Deal, we can't get any support |
| 0:38.0 | for it in Congress. |
| 0:39.6 | According to a poll from Yale, 81% of people support the idea of a Green New Deal. |
| 0:44.9 | So why is it then that in Congress there is no support, there's no bipartisan support |
| 0:49.2 | for this bill? |
| 0:50.2 | In my opinion, it's because these fringe members of the Democratic Party and the far left |
| 0:54.4 | have no idea what they're talking about or how to present good ideas, and it's damaging |
| 0:58.7 | to those of us who are liberal and want to see these things push forward. |
| 1:02.4 | So today, I want to talk about what's going on with the Green New Deal, why they aren't |
| 1:05.9 | getting support, and why I think the far left and Ocasio-Cortez are poison for moderates |
| 1:10.7 | and the Democratic Party. |
