The amount of support AOC has from like normie libs now ought to be instructive and highlighted by the left.
Because many of the people who now love her would have or did back Crowley. Imagine how much they’d like other leftist candidates once in office…
AOC got 150k votes in 2020. 1 in 3 Americans have a favorable opinion of her. AOC has more supporters than DSA!
We should find ways to engage the millions of people who support a socialist congresswoman, rather than arguing that she sucks and we are to her left, actually.

That’s because she chose to go along w/ the #DemocraticParty to get along for herself. That is why normie libs like her more and more and leftists like her less and less. We don’t need more useless @AOC’s sitting on their hands, we need the fighters they purported to be.

I critique candidates when I think they’re wrong. I’ve criticized AOC.
That said, the amount of power and influence the Squad actually has today is limited. But if we could grow the number of younger progressives—even imperfect ones—it would change the party. Slowly. Imperfectly

My biggest issue they REFUSE to even -try- & they waste any leverage they get.
You need ppl WILLING to fight and the squad is just not willing. We need ppl who will fight when it matters not endorse #Biden over a progressive in the primary. They’re not helping the movement.

Grow up Marisa -- there is no progressive in the primary (don't point to that poser RFK Jr), so it makes sense to endorse an incumbent president

I was talking about @marwilliamson my dude and yes she is a progressive. It makes NO sense to endorse #Biden while ANY primary is going on. They shoulda stayed out of it until it was over, at the very least. They look just…pathetic doing that.
