We’re cooked. The conversations of universal healthcare, freeing Palestine, student loan forgiveness…really any policy discussion is toast. AOC on her instagram tonight is out here talking about how Biden stepping down isn’t feasible and she knows how to win elections and blah blah blah. We’re so far removed from making the changes in this country we need that one of our once leading voices of change is the last defender of Biden. It’s crazy, there’s literally no one we can turn to.

Isn't the simplest explanation that she wants to be a careerist in the Party, but she'll brand herself as a Progressive for as long as that branding works for her?

These are the limits of what can be accomplished through electoralism, especially under the constitutionally-enforced duopoly.  The oligarchy will never allow you to vote out the oligarchy.  The Democratic party will never allow itself to be turned into a party of workers such as that which exists in Canada, Brazil, etc.

No she wants to run for senate in NY which you don’t win by being progressive in a diverse working class district. She needs establishment support. Bernie clearly sees her as some type of leader for the future of the progressive movement going into the future and he’s probably got one term left to groom her (in the good way). AOC isn’t some liberal in disguise. She’s not a John fetterman who’s out here saying “the republicans have some good points” she’s just trying to play the party game. You’ll notice that even though people like Schumer and Pelosi are trying to push Biden out, they’re all licking the boot in the process. When the time comes for her to run, they’ll go “remember when she supported Biden and didn’t try to drive the knife in” and will give her more support than if she tries to spring on the opportunity to get rid of him. I also agree with the idea that progressives are trying to win support now for policy if/when Kamala takes over by supporting Biden (the admin) and looking like team players and avoiding the scapegoat

Sort of a tangent here but if AOC's district should Not be called 'progressive' and should be called 'working class', is there really any such thing as a 'Progressive' district?
