They serve similar but opposite roles. Liberals need their AOC/Sanders-types to act as a pressure release valve for any whiff of mass organizing. They're the face for the younger cohort of the party. The Christian Cinemas and Joe Mansions are the heel: that one darned stubborn Rep or Senator that's stopping anything good from happening.
