Ex-Sanders Advisor Slams Dem Party for Failing to Speak to Black and Latino Voters
A former Bernie Sanders campaign advisor is criticizing the Democratic Party for favoring a message that appeals primarily to white liberal voters, stating it ignores the concerns of people of color and working-class Americans. The criticism comes as part of an anti-oligarchy tour led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Ex-Sanders campaign advisor Tezlyn Figaro criticized the Democratic Party for catering mainly to White liberal voters, accusing it of neglecting other demographics. The criticism comes after a loss in recent elections and amid growing calls for greater diversity within the party. Figaro said the party's messaging has not been effective beyond its predominantly liberal base. The remarks reflect tensions between progressive factions seeking to appeal to a broader electorate.
