AOC-Aligned Justice Dems to Biden: ‘Angry’ Primary Voters Don’t Want ‘Kumbaya’

The left-wing activist group aligned with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) over the weekend ripped former Vice President Joe Biden for urging Democrats not be “angry,” warning Democrats that “crowning” a candidate who speaks about “Kumbaya” like Biden could potentially backfire.

During his campaign kickoff event in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, over the weekend, Biden said that Democrats do not have to be “angry” to win the nomination and beat President Donald Trump. Biden also made the central argument of his candidacy—that he is the Democrat best positioned to defeat Trump in 2020. The former vice president told the crowd that the first plank of his climate change platform is “beat Trump” because progressive policies cannot be enacted if Trump is still in the White House.

“They say Democrats are so angry, that the angrier a candidate can be, the better chance he or she has to win the Democratic nomination,” Biden said. “Well, I don’t believe it.”

Waleed Shahid, the group’s communications director, ripped Biden for his past support for the Iraq war, unfair trade deals, and the credit card industry.

Saying Democrats should not be “crowning” Biden this early in the process, Shahid said on MSNBC that these are the issues that also “dogged” Hillary Clinton in her 2008 and 2018 presidential bids. He added that Democrats who “want a new face of leadership” want to “fight” and do not want this “kumbaya thing” and talk of unity.

He said electability is about “motivation” and not “moderation” and argued that while Biden wants to talk about standing next to former President Barack Obama for eight years, left-wing voters may be more concerned about “where he stood in his Senate years” on various policies.
