"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.

Also the chuds are the ones who elevated her name by making her a centerpiece opposition figure.

Yea I think she might have actually bought the chuds bulkshit and started believing she was a hard-core progressive since chuds kept calling her a communist.

Meanwhile in reality she was tone policing actual communists to make sure they weren't rude to fascists because that "makes her movement look bad"

Also her and the sex trafficking pedo Geatz were awfully fucking chummy there for a bit.

Back when AOC first won and was a card carrying DSA, my wife was also doing DSA and reached out to her team/local DSA to ask her to make a statement on anti-imperialism and her team responded back that they won't give her the message and to not mention 'anti-imperialism' to them again.

And that was before Pelosi made AOC fire her most visibly leftist staffers.
