Kamala Harris conceals radicalism as AOC reveals Democratic Party’s true nature
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared at the Democratic National Convention around 9:30 p.m. on Monday, during primetime.
President Joe Biden, on the other hand, spoke over two hours later outside of the prime broadcast window, indicating a significant contrast in scheduling that reflects the ideological direction of the Democratic Party.
Since Vice President Kamala Harris replaced Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee, there has been an effort to portray her as a moderate candidate that appeals to a wider range of voters.
The media has been highlighting Harris’ more moderate image and distancing her from her previously held radical positions in preparation for the upcoming election.
During Ocasio-Cortez’s speech at the convention, which included her usual economic rhetoric and praise for Harris, she received praise from the media and was hailed as a rising star in the Democratic Party.
Despite Harris’ shift towards a more moderate image, Ocasio-Cortez’s prominent role at the convention reveals the true direction of the Democratic Party under Harris’ leadership.
This shift in the party’s approach to appealing to voters indicates a move towards a more left-leaning platform, as evidenced by Ocasio-Cortez’s reception and the celebration of her speech by Democrats.
The fact that Ocasio-Cortez’s moment overshadowed Biden’s appearance symbolizes a shift in the Democratic Party’s trajectory towards a more progressive agenda.
The upcoming election will reveal whether Americans will recognize this shift and make informed decisions at the polls.
