But he's so bad at it.

So she’s looking at some position she thinks she will need the DNC for…

These are her colleagues so she still has to work with them on policies. She's reluctant to call them out.

It's why she stayed silent on Mamdani's slate.

Title appears to be deceptive. AOC did say she'd support Jeffries, but didn't say the old guard should not be replaced. I don't agree with her on Jeffries, but that's all she said.

Here's a full transcript of the interview. Most of it was about how the new reps shouldn't be smeared.

Gotta disagree on that one. I vote in every single primary...every one. If I have a choice, I'm picking the progressive. The old guard had their day and let us down.

There should be some kind of warning for these kinds of things. I almost hurt myself rolling my eyes so hard...

You don't change the system from inside, the system changes you... :/
