Former President Barack Obama called on the Democratic National Committee to give a bigger platform to progressives as they continue to butt heads with the party's centrist members.
"One thing I will say about the Democratic Party is that promoting young people is really important. We stick so long with the same old folks and don't make room for new voices," Obama said in an interview with Peter Hamby on Snapchat's Good Luck America.
Obama also acknowledge the party's controversial decision to allot Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez only 60 seconds at this summer's national convention, while handing out significantly more television time to former Republican Ohio Governor John Kasich and businessman and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
"The Democratic National Convention, I thought, was really successful considering the pandemic but, you know, the fact that an AOC only got, what? Three minutes or five minutes? When she speaks to a broad section of young people who are interested in what she has to say, even if they don't agree with everything she says," Obama said.
"You give her a platform, just like there may be some other young Democrats who come from more conservative areas who have a different point of view. But new blood is always good," he continued.
His comments come as conflict between the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and more centrists Democrats have widened following the November 3 election.

“Feud Between Progressives and Centrists”
Correction: “Feud Between Bolsheviks and Mensheviks”
There’s no such thing as centrists in the DemoRat party
See post after yours. Great minds....
Communists need to swing.
Basically, it is his 3rd term.
I’ve always suspected you were a brilliant analyst but now I have proof!
He’s in the spotlight to detract from Biden to make him invisible so he can set the table to anoint his true successor Camel Toe and have her take over. Joe was told who he had to pick as VP and he’ll also be told when it’s time to go to make room for Camel Toe.
Is that pole dancing school?
It appears to be a platform large enou8gh and worthy enough for Sandy the Bartender
Yes, they should give her a bigger platform................ with a trap door and a rope...............
I would advocate purging the country, as opposed to splitting it.
These commies aren’t happy here, just send them all to a third world shithole, that’s already run by their kind.
Obama and AOC were gonna have in charge if they steal it. Which they won’t
But this should be quite a deterrent. Won’t even be Harris. Bidens already gone. We’re hearing a whole lot more from this America hater than from biden
Actually, the FEC should de-certify the Democrat National
Committee as an ongoing criminal enterprise. Overnite all those (D)s become (I).
Once they’ve killed us off (politically or literally) they’ll kill off their so-called moderates. You know, the “useful idiots” who helped put them in power.
As long as it has a trap door.....
A Uniter, NOt a Divider.
Boy, did they sucker up for that one.
You chose your path, Dems. Now walk it. Carefully.
Obama and AOC.....contest between who hates white people and America more. Too close to call.
Sure listen to the DNC.(Democrat National Criminals)
It has become obvious it will be the az wholes third term unless the results get overturned.
