AOC seems to have completely abandoned anything beyond performative progressivism. She’s got her eye on working her way up through the party and nothing else.
you just know she’s justifying it by telling herself that at the next rung up, she can stop worrying about positioning and be her true progressive self
until she gets there, and the rung after that is in sight, and if she triangulates for just one more cycle…
It does seem like that, which is funny because there’s no way in hell she’s ever going to be allowed any truly ‘important’ positions. She had far too many ‘problematic’ opinions early on
