"Bernie's supporters have been very, very damaging to him, and it's really frustrating to see and experience. They don't realize how influential they are. It's frustrating to feel like they are hurting him," Ocasio-Cortez said in the midst of the 2020 primary, according to the book. "I feel like Warren is scooping up LGBT, progressives, women, and progressives of color because of how they isolate."
She also worried that the behavior of Sanders's supporters were "forcing an unnecessary choice between class analysis and race analysis" through their "behavior, not so much policy."
Ocasio-Cortez made those comments as she mulled whether to endorse Sanders's 2020 campaign, even though she had worked as an organizer on his 2016 campaign.

It's socialism or barbarism dawg
Liberals like AOC/Bernie that larp as more progressive than they really are, are so fucking cowardly. Their supporters are worse because they're convinced they're the only ones who are right about fixing the rotten capitalist system.
I'm genuinely interested to hear what you mean in regards to AOC and Sanders.
They pretend to be "progressive" (which is really just libs + free healthcare) but they're the same as every other lib. They market themselves as being some kind of radical alternative for voters but they're anything but that. It's evidenced by they way they vote; 99% of the time they vote for the same disgusting policies that they claim they're against because they're bought and paid for the by the ruling class. You can't "fix" capitalism from within, you have to dismantle it.
