AOC votes against striking workers, she isn't any kind of leftist.
NO TRUE LEFTIST am I right?
She's currently the most left candidate with a chance. The Overton window is shifted and we'd be fuckin stupid to wait for "the perfect candidate"
If AOC is on the ticket, I can't see how I could vote for someone else
the workers asked them to, that's how cucked labor is in the US
Democracy is messy
It helps to try to understand what happened and communicate a complete picture rather than harp on a single decontextualized fact.
