AOC warns of overpromising and underdelivering

Recall Sirota said the same thing, as did Hartmann. AOC goes on to note, like the others, "what really dampens turnout is when Democrats make promises that they don’t keep." The House delivered on at least some of those promises by passing the Build Back Better Act. But if it gets even further diluted in the Senate then it "could fuel 'political nihilism' and reinforce 'the idea that nothing we do matters.'" As Sirota and Hartmann have noted before, this is exactly the formula that gave us Twitler. And can do so again if the Democratic Party doesn't keep the promises they make.
