Joy Gray analyzes DSA's AOC interview

Continuing this post, Briahna thinks the interview was loaded and clarifies that AOC never answered whether she and progressives are pushing Biden enough to the left. This is especially frustrating since AOC criticizes "bad faith critique" as sabotaging Party unity, as that was indeed one of the establishment's own strategies to keep progressives down. And ironically enough, used against AOC herself. 

AOC also claims that she is now focusing more on the 'inside' approach, working within government to change it. But the establishment has shown time and again that she has no power in the Party structure and will defeat her proposals at every opportunity. It isn't working.

AOC's real power is what she showed us in the beginning, the 'outside' approach of fighting the corrupt insiders. It is the one we the people responded to and made her the star she is. She needs to return to that firebrand fighting Party politics and then stand up to the latter with the power of her inside vote. And when the Party fights back with corporate media blaming her over a forced vote, then she and her progressive caucus can and must use their own considerable direct communication with we the people to garner support to pressure the establishment. Progressives can win these fights if they have the necessary grit for the fight. We the people demand it.
