ANDERSON COOPER: You're willing to compromise?
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.
It's just about what we choose to compromise.
My personal opinion, and I know that my district and my community feels this way as well, is that we as a party have compromised too much, and we've lost too much of who we're supposed to be and who we are. And —
ANDERSON COOPER: The Democratic Party has lost too much —
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: I think so. I think — I think we've compromised things that we shouldn't have compromised, whether it's judgeships with Mitch McConnell, whether it's compromising on climate change. I think we've — there are some things that we've compromised a little bit too much on. But am I open to compromise on certain ways to get things done? Absolutely. Absolutely.
