I guess AOC feels that the democrats are in a strong enough position with one half of one branch of government to start eating their own.
Here's Schumer's relative issues map compared to others in congress.
Schumer the vegan "radical liberal" according to Trump. Yeah he's just too moderate for Democrats.
Sometimes progressives seem that they'd rather shoot themselves in the foot and let their causes get utterly destroyed if it means they can shout how ideologically woke they are. Smugness in defeat over partial victory and all that.
It does make me wonder how much hardline progressives actually care about causes or is it just something they base their identity on?
Is someone who will compromise with moderate elements to get most of what they want but not at all at once more moderate than someone who only cares about their virtue signalling and doesn't actually care if progress ever happens?
Edit: well you can't edit titles, dang.
