“Bernie’s supporters have been very, very damaging to him, and it’s really frustrating to see and experience. They don’t realize how influential they are. It’s frustrating to feel like they are hurting him,” Ocasio-Cortez said in the midst of the 2020 primary, according to the book. “I feel like Warren is scooping up LGBT, progressives, women, and progressives of color because of how they isolate.”
She also worried that the behavior of Sanders’s supporters were “forcing an unnecessary choice between class analysis and race analysis” through their “behavior, not so much policy.”
Ocasio-Cortez made those comments as she mulled whether to endorse Sanders’s 2020 campaign, even though she had worked as an organizer on his 2016 campaign.

It’s socialism or barbarism dawg
God damn does it ever wind me up hearing people talk about how they “struggled” in uni cause they had to eat ramen in their dorm or something. Mf you have rich parents and no student loan debt, there was no struggle. These people have zero concept of how it feels to be on the precipice of destitution with no one to fall back on.
Poverty is when I’m afraid to ask my parents for a couple thousand dollars, because they’ll ask me what I’m spending it on and I don’t want to admit that half The money they give me goes to alcohol and drugs.
