Big difference between Elise Island and Japanese Internment, even if Elise Island sucked.
But White Americans don't want another Elise Island. They want to Double Gitmo. AOC went into the electoralism game with the assumption that her peers in Congress would be arguing in good faith. She's making the same blunder Obama made when he tried to cut deals with John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.
She’s just preparing for her POTUS run that will suck in the next generation of radicalized youth back into the Dems.
Whether AOC runs for higher office or throws in the towel in disgust won't change the material conditions for her constituents. She's a product of radicalized Brooklynites who live shoulder-to-shoulder with the ultra-wealthy and yet can't access simple living needs. Her political trajectory won't change those conditions unless she actually achieves implementation of her succ agenda.
The only way she's bringing people back to the Dem party is if she successfully executes her policy. Another failed Sanders-style run won't accomplish that. It will only disappoint her constituents, leaving them to radicalize or atrophy. She either does an FDR style reform plan or things in this country continue to degrade.
