    Her attempts to build a slightly left of center bloc in the DNC were blocked

    I don't think she or the rest of them ever tried to do that at all. "The Squad" never acted like a coherent voting bloc. They even made public excuses for one or the other not voting with the rest of them. They had no cohesion, discipline, or real vision, hust a bunch of useless liberals.

    I had hopes about them, and the concept of taking over the dem party at one time, but its less that they were blocked than that they never really tried to be a voting bloc aside from they're marketing and fundraising

      They got very slight “maybe we can run on progressive things, as look how well it’s going for us” and the party went ballistic, as The Squad was a bigger threat than Trump and fascists.

      Completely right, as if the Dems ran on policies or ideas other than “not trump” they may make the Dems upset the funding class.
