I mean, she should be saying openly how and why the democrats suck, but therein lies the problem with reforming the democrats, a strategy that continues to have a 100% failure rate.
She governs in the Democratic Party, which is the second-most-enthusiastic capitalist party in history. If she doesn’t break explicitly with the party line on class issues, which she can’t really do while maintaining a career as a Dem politician, she winds up literally advancing the politics of the enemy class in the name of “democratic socialism.”
And all this while the Democratic Party moves to the right on signature progressive issues like healthcare, and openly sabotages campaigns and elections to avoid giving basic reforms to working people.
It’s not about whether AOC is good or bad based on this or that take, it’s about the failed, still failing, and arguably counterproductive strategy of advancing working class polItics in the Democratic Party.
Maybe that was the most tactful way to dogwhistle that the dems suck.
