Possibly controversial opinion here, but I’m inclined to look the other way with this. AOC has brought a lot of relatively far left stances into the public sphere. Anti-DPRK propaganda is deeply entrenched in the minds of most Americans, and if she said even a hint of something that would take away ‘blame’ she would get battered over the head with it constantly. Bourgeois democracy is really flawed, but if there is a candidate that represents the views of ordinary people in her area, I view it as an achievement for her to get elected in such a corrupt system. If she tweeted out “Let the streets flow with the blood of blood of the bourgeoisie!” and posted guillotine memes, that might just affect her polling statistics negatively, in a deranged country. Conservatives are totally obsessed with her in a really creepy way, and make fun of her for crazy shit she’s never even said.
I might be making excuses, but I don’t think any leftist can make excuses for Bernie Sanders voting to bomb Yugoslavia (Serbia).
She stands the Bolivian and Venezuelan opposition. And even in her internal policies she’s pretty terrible, she wants to resurrect INS to replace ICE, defends the NYPD, etc.

In the sense that we should defend her from sexism, I 100% agree, but let’s not forget that she’s just as imperialist as sanders is.
What’s wrong with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?
That’s certainly a lot of bad things that I’ll have to look through.
