, Ocasio-Cortez defended Democrats' ability to win swing seats while running on progressive policies and blamed this year's electoral failures in part on lackluster digital campaigns, a theme she echoed in her critique of The Lincoln Project on Friday.
"The kind of videos they made are pretty well shown to not be persuasive for a Never Trump message. Explicitly insulting anti-Trump content isn't what gets people to move," she said, adding that those who disagreed needed to back up their claims with independent data, and that so far, "we just haven't seen any."Several co-founders of The Lincoln Project defended the group's work.
"AOC is mad at us. QANON Republicans are really mad at us. @realDonaldTrump is really, really mad at us. Must be doing something right," former New Hampshire GOP chairwomanFriday, suggesting that centrist voters — and The Lincoln Party's efforts to appeal to them — were a significant force in Biden's victory.
And in a tweet asking if Steve Schmidt of The Lincoln Project would support the two Democrats running for Senate in Georgia, who are both headed to January runoff elections,
And she thinks that money was going Magically show up in other organizations if LP wasn’t there. Nope.. they wouldn’t seen a single dollar more cause it was ppl who donated to LP for a reason
Unfortunately I believe she's cost Democrats a lot of votes.
Does anything make her happy?
This election was close on decisive states and a very small nudge from LP could have been the difference. Don't know but I wouldn't assume LP burned $67M and didn't affect the outcome. If AOC is critical of admin costs, that is a different discussion and applies to many NPs.
I would consider myself more to the left. I also love how AOC has brilliantly dealt with corrupt old Republicans however how could you argue ProjectLincoln didn't help the common goal of getting independents or even Republicans to vote for Biden? Doesn't make sense
Republicans and democrats need to learn from this cycle and realize that linking the party message to individuals is not working. The results are in and it’s apparent that this country is centrist. Not far left or right, but understands that progress is achieved in compromise.
I mean it's true. All of the progressive 'radical' Democrats won their re-election campaigns. The moderate 'centrist' Democrats were the ones who lost seats in the House and Senate. Hell, Tommy Tubervile, the Auburn coach, beat the Democratic incumbent senator in Alabama.
A snake usually recognizes another snake.
I wish she would of lost her race😐. She will run for President in 2024. The large voice of Latino voters will elect her to office.
America really just elects any old body to political offices.
So you know, while I gladly donate to the Lincoln Project to stop a mad king, there are some pretty concerning fundamentals of capitalism and our republic involved which keeps me from ever donating to the Democrats or Trump Republicans.
Fairly obvious the Lincoln Project are a bunch of neocons and not aligned with progressive values. But the scam allegation is a bit strong.
The Big Scam!! The Marxist Comrade Project With IRS Problems!!
I’m a Democrat and donated to the LP several times. I never gave one cent to her BS socialist crap. The LP project is more in line with what I believe.
I don’t see how this is helpful. America who we are and how we got here, is not pretty. We are at a crossroads, we can either come together to make a better America for everyone or we can continue to blame and fight amongst each other, only to fall apart completely.
Bless, is non of the money going to religious fascists or career criminals of the ethnic minority.
What is wrong with her?
sario? i think ProjectLincoln was probably the deciding factor.... AOC you trippin
With statements like these.... A more conservative populist will return in 2024
I see, she wants the money... very capitalistic of her... she thinks the money should be going to the people who were more effective, maybe that's called a meritocracy. its only socialism if all the money is redistributed to everyone including the Lincoln Project.
Youth is wasted on the young!
thisisinsider Baby yi too chat shit...
Lol Trump gained more republican votes
Ok. Love the energy young buck latino- but people can do. And you are swimming up stream against a powerful bunch. ProjectLincoln saved your ass. Mine too. Imagine a world without them. Without them changing me ans others. Orange man is still in office. Fear what you feared
Ahhh that’s absolutely sad 😢 really liked her until now 🤔 This really isn’t a good time to start causing dissension between those trying their upmost to rid the country of that delusional imbecile. Sad AOC BAD TIMING... REALLY BAD 😱😭😢
Lol of course she waited until after the election to call it out
I AM DONE WITH THIS COUNTRY. I shall be leaving the USA shortly with my wife in disgust at this situation . Mexico is a much more welcome place. I’d rather be in a stable country like theirs as opposed to one run by Biden. My kids are scared of him!!!
horrible
