    i disagree with this, but will not get into it here. the main point is that she barely has any pull in the party and the party hates her to begin with. not only would AOC saying he should step down not accomplish anything but it would more likely backfire. it’s stupid to expect her to publicly ask for the presumptive candidate to fuck off. she barely endorsed biden in the first place; there are limits to what she can do and still remain effective.

        are you kidding? the squad keeps getting thrown under the bus by democrats at every turn. the party would rather have lose the presidency than have someone like AOC (or Bernie) as president.

        i say would, but should have said did. they did choose to lose the presidency than let someone like them win. that’s what they did in 2016.
