AOC seems to be a team player. Sure she's progressive and agitates all from that area, and that's fine. But she's quickly working in and with the Party. Which is more than I can say about Bernie who is a Democrat when it suits him and an independent when it doesn't.
Plus, Bernie is a step backward. We don't need another old white guy telling us what to do. There are so many amazing women and non-whites and young people, with the same stances as Bernie. We frankly don't need him. And I think AOC has realized this also.

OP
AOC a progressive agitator? Really?! More like progressive hero in my book, like Bernie, her mentor.
