Amen. We can and should highlight where other folks on the left are wrong, but painting someone like AOC with a broad "bad" brush for one statement or even multiple statements is not good. And it seems like AOC is the only one here who gets this treatment. We seem to do a better job of calling out bad positions from folks like Bernie or Corbyn - both of whom are functionally social democrats as much as AOC is - without painting them as "bad". But feels like AOC is our fun punching bag here.

It’s almost likes she an elected official who claims to be part of the left.
I guess my point is that her position isn't much different from any other (mainstream) politician on the left.
And everyone else should be called out too.
