I have seen them saying similar things. Not this exactly, but saying that AOC is a liberal because she won't take the most extreme positions. Even if she believed in those positions, which I'm sure she does some of them, it'd be political suicide to stand that ground. They want politician-activists. Those jobs are practically mutually exclusive, but they're too dumb to realize it. I can't think of a single activist leader who was also an elected official.
