I think interpreting and focusing on the "the socialist left didnt build off of the momentum generated by Sanders" as "people didnt vote and organize behind democrat entryist campaigns hard enough to have 5 more socdems in the senate and house" and only through the lenses of a failure to increases success in entryist electoral organizing is one the reasons the left indedeed couldnt "build off of the momentum generated by Sanders". Chasing after more AOCs as "lodestars" of the left is a recipe leading to nowhere and has led any socialist movement in any western country to nowhere despite thousands of AOCs and even AOCs winning elections. I simply dont see how this is the lesson and capitalizing the left should have persued regarding all the energy and disillusionment that came from Sanders campaign and defeat. And its because of that wrong follow up to it that surging socdem/demsoc movements in the west never directly moved a country towards socialism and never translated and were never followed by actual socialist organizing exploding from it .
