Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Biden s Win, House Losses, and What s Next for the Left – The New York Times

For months, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been a good soldier for the Democratic Party and Joseph R. Biden Jr. as he sought to defeat President Trump.

But on Saturday, in a nearly hourlong interview shortly after President-elect Biden was declared the winner, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez made clear the divisions within the party that animated the primary still exist. And she dismissed recent criticisms from some Democratic House members who have blamed the party s left for costing them important seats. Some of the members who lost, she said, had made themselves sitting ducks.

These are edited excerpts from the conversation.

I would be quite content to let AOC be presidente for life of some little heck hole in NYC somewhere. If you didn’t like living there, you could move, and most people would soon enough. It’s that somehow she has to cast out her ill informed and strangely motivated gaze out across the land, including even my tiny piece of it. That’s pretty much all of the Left I guess.
