Ocasio-Cortez says Biden could 'do more' to earn votes than just attack Trump to advance Democrats’ vision in 2024

Biden could do more to attack Trump, too. Right-wing domestic terrorists are bolder now than ever and he's letting it happen.

Inflation reduction act. No recession so far. Student debt forgiveness. He’s not just sitting on his hands.

I'd love to see her run for President.

If we could stop funding a genocide on Gaza, that'd be a step in the right direction as well.

corporate sponsors like "the other guy is bad" more than "here's the plan to get the working class a bigger slice of the pie"

What she said was "I think we can certainly do more to be advancing our vision, and I believe we have a strong vision that we can run on." She specifically calls out:

• Codifying abortion/reproductive rights [House and Senate races matter!]
• Lowering Medicare age
• Student loan forgiveness

Contrary to OP's title, she actually pushes back on the false narrative that Biden is running as "not Trump".

She does say that it will be important to demonstrate "what we are willing to do with" governing power between now and November.

She's right. People are tired of the status quo which is slowly being dismantled by Republicans in the House, etc. Attacking them only further entrenches people who lean right. Hilary already made this mistake when she thought Trump was an easy win and ignored flyover states. This is how you lose swing state votes, too. Biden and his team have done a lot of good things, but it's all for naught if nobody sees it - his messaging sucks.

She's definitely not wrong.

"could needs to" - Fixed that for you...

Biden has to have more to offer than to be the alternative to Trump, and because even bringing up his age causes condemnation, I'm not sure there's actually much else being considered about Biden as a candidate.

American politics is only about slinging as much mud at your opponent as possible and painting the grimmest doomsday picture as possible about everything.

Actually having a vision and a dream doesn't work, unfortunately.

advance Democrats' vision

What vision? What do dems actually offer beyond "trump bad"? Don't get me wrong, Trump definitely Bad, but how many times do they expect this sort of brinkmanship to work? Even if we beat this Trump there will be another one along, and the people who openly tell us that they want to end democracy in America only have to win once.

Can he though? Seems to me that a lot of the things Biden does don't get noticed by people. Either because of laziness and apathy on their part, or due to horrible reporting from our less than a reputable media at this point. A lot of the best accomplishments don't get talked about, some are even misremembered. You still hear people talk about the the rail worker strike and yet completely forget how it ended with Biden getting the rail workers pretty much everything they wanted. I don't know if that's just ignorance or purposeful misinformation what I hear it from people though. A lot of his reforms have been some of the most progressive in decades, yet people on the internet especially just pretend they don't exist for some reason. Is it messaging or is it purposeful? Hard to say.

When their entire platform is 'we are not trump' there's nothing else to run on.

AOC, Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The trifecta of delusional incompetence and idiocy.
