Saying this respectfully, but I genuinely don't see how Bernie challenges power more than AOC. Bernie plays ball with senate Democrats (his "friends" like Biden and Schumer) every bit that AOC does.
Bernie running for president against Hillary Clinton absolutely disrupted the status quo inside the democratic party. AOC hasn't disrupted anything.
Sure Bernie could be better, but all AOC has ever done is defend herself and parts of the movement, she hasn't really been on the attack since her first few weeks in congress. Bernie went against the party trying to get 2k checks this week, AOC did nothing like that.

AOC literally unseated the 2nd or 3rd ranking establishment Dem in the House.
Edit: Also Bernie endorsed Biden and so did AOC but at least she made that comment about in a normal country they wouldnt be in the same party.
