“I can’t do what she [AOC] does, because we live in a purple state and I’m a pragmatist.“

= compromise with the Nazis to keep your position

“Everyone you mentioned has a lot of words, but what have they actually done to change the situation with Donald Trump?”

Uh gee maybe if the rest of y’all got on the same page instead of impeding them and folding to the Republicans then we could actually have some sort of defense against him and his cronies?

I'll cut to the chase - what Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez have done that so many other Democrats seem to have a tough time with, is correctly identifying the problem as wealthy businesses and individuals hurting Americans through their brazen and unchecked extraction of wealth, and rallying a broad base of people over that. The DNC has picked up the approval of everyone who is happy with the Democrats trying to become more Republican (so they're at like 29%).
