50. Tap the brakes...AOC is the future for Democratic Socialists and the Bernie supporters, NOT the Democratic Party

It seems clear to me that it's describing the general gist of what the MSM is saying, rather than quoting anyone. Scrivener7 Yesterday #38
Thank you edhopper Yesterday #41
And apparently, general statements really piss them off. Which is ... very strange. Scrivener7 Yesterday #45
