"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
This brought back memories of that viral photo when the hotel cleaning ladies in Las Vegas came out to caucus for Bernie.
Moments like this will never happen again in America’s electoral history. The working class has been betrayed. Bernie Sanders has betrayed all of them.
To continue the Vegas motif, you can’t get a blackjack when you’re only allowed one card
The material base for an uprising has eroded, the working class has betrayed mankind and themselves…
Because Americans are lazy pacifist shits who didn't show any force; all they did was complain somewhat loudly in the designated complaining area after obtaining the proper permits.
Also of note is that (as seen in these maps) Warren basically exclusively appealed to rich “””progressives””” who wanted roads to be paved more but not for their shares in JP Morgan to tank
Look at all those white male Bernie Bros on the right.
