MSNBC host Joy Reid criticized the Democratic Party for resisting generational change and promoting older leaders over younger rising stars like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Reid pointed to the party's reliance on traditional methods and donors as a reason for its reluctance to embrace new approaches favored by younger Democrats. She highlighted AOC's success on social media as an example of the new world media that the party should be utilizing.
MSNBC host Joy Reid criticized the Democratic Party on Tuesday for refusing to allow the younger and rising stars like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , D-N.Y., a chance to take leadership roles away from the oldest and longest-serving members. ' gerontocracy seems like it’s intractable,' Reid said. 'I recall when Barack Obama was elected, he kind of pushed aside the DNC and created his own organization because I think there is a frustration with the sort of creaky way the DNC operates.
Reid said that the Democratic Party is dominated by 'donors and consultants and people who are locked in the old ways of doing things. They want to advertise on TV. Look, I am for TV, I love TV, I work on TV, but they don’t want to do the sort of new world media. But then AOC is so good at it.' Ocasio-Cortez, an influential member of the 'Squad' on Capitol Hill, often engages with voters on social media platforms like Instagram.
