AOC says there are ‘things we can learn’ for Republicans as Democrats admit they are ‘out of touch’

Democratic lawmakers are admitting that they may have missed the mark in the 2024 election and are calling on their colleagues to stop ‘preaching down’ to Americans.

And Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) says that her party could learn a thing-or-two from Republicans after their sweeping wins this election cycle that will see the GOP with a trifecta in the House, Senate and White House next year.

Asked why Democrats lost, Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) said his party needs to stop ‘canceling’ people that might disagree with them on something.

‘We have policy issues that are out of touch with the American people,’ Moskowitz acknowledged when speaking with CNN.

‘Our tent’s got to get there,’ he continued, ‘we’ve got to be more accepting of positions all across the spectrum without the shaming and the canceling that goes on on our side of the aisle.’

Meanwhile, AOC also told the network: ‘I think there are things we can learn about digital communication, about constant, direct communication with people and about sending a very clear and easy-to-understand message.’

‘Even if those messages are very, very different in their values, proposals and dispositions,’ she added.

Donald Trump saw a commanding win against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris on November 5, winning 312 Electoral College votes in a margin of victory not seen since 1988.

Meanwhile, Republicans won four seats in the Senate and now hold a majority of 53 to 47.

There are still a handful of races left to call in the House, but Republicans have reached the 218-seat threshold needed to keep their control of the lower chamber.

AOC admitted that Democrats losing their Senate majority, the White House and remaining in the minority in the House has more to do with than just messaging and also to do with policies.

‘I mean I think there’s a lot,’ the progressive New York lawmaker said. ‘It’s much more than just a message.’

‘There’s the macroeconomic conditions that I think are inescapable,’ she said in line with many Americans who said they voted for Trump this year because they were hurting more in their pocketbooks with Democrats controlling the White House and upper chamber of Congress.

Democrats are admitting that even if they felt numbers showed a different story, Americans were hurting at the cash register and were tired of being told that things were on track with the economy.

‘Well obviously we’ve lost touch with the majority of Americans,’ Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) told CNN.

‘Democrats have a habit of preaching down to people and telling them that if they don’t 100 percent agree with our orthodox view often defined by the far left, then they’re just bad people – they’re morally wrong. And that’s not going to win us any elections.’
