Stephen A. Smith had a question for “Democrats everywhere” on Tuesday during the last episode of her podcast when she touched the possibility that the representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Dn.y., (AOC) runs for president.
“What is your strategy?” Smith asked.
ESPN’s personality directed AOC and a report from the Wall Street Journal that said he was not ruling out, including possible senadas and presidential careers. The document added that some Democrats worried Ocasio-Cortez “would put out the centrist voters who need to gain competitive races.”

Smith agreed that he would turn off the centrists, saying that their platform does not resonate with most American voters.
“I think that if you are a Democrat, if you are a leftist who enrolls against the system, who believes that the free market capitalism headed by billionaires is not the way to follow, if you believe that sufficient attention is not being paid to the desolate already the franchisees, if you believe that the highest taxes are the way to follow, that an approach should not be in the approach, if you believe in those things. And that is fine, and that is the one that is, and that is gone, and that is gone. “Without a doubt about that.”
Smith said he had no doubt about his ability to fight for what she believes and fight for the New York district he represents. However, he wondered if the strategy is something that could win elections.
“Most people in the country are centrist, they are moderate. Whether moderate Republicans or moderate democratic or simply centrist that are independent, that is the majority of the American population,” he said. “They are not correct magician and are not progressive to the left. She is clearly (progressive to the left). And not to be literal and not be taken literally, but she gives the impression, when she talks about universal medical care and you talk about other things, if you are equivalent to imposing 70% of her income, she would not be against that. That will not win the elections.

“If you live today, and you are talking about fighting for certain rights in regards to transgender people, the athletes who make the transition and the men who compete in women’s sports and things like that, with which they are not about to speak. If you think that will win an choice, you have your head in the sand.”
He said he wanted to listen to some kind of democrats plan. He told the representative Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, who seems to be against anything related to President Donald Trump.
Smith suggested that he did not believe that he was doing enough to legislate.
“The real problem I have now with the Democratic Party is that I am waiting to listen to your plan,” he said. “It can’t be, ‘We are against all Trump’s things.’
“What is your plan? What is your plan for the economy? What is your plan in regard to integral immigration reform? What is your plan when it comes to external issues? What is your plan in regard to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or should you say that Israel with Hamas? The vast majority of Americans in this country?”

The Constituents of Ocasio-Cortez made clear Pak Gazette Digital earlier this month that no one should “underestimate it”, pointing to its discomfort of 2018 by Joe Crowley to win the seat of the house.
