AOC's Sunday interview with CNN

She reiterated that  bi-partisanship is dead and the Dems need to go it alone. But some Dems like Manchin need their arm twisted because they are making excuses about bi-partisanship when their reason reason is dark money. But it's not just Manchin in the Party; it's an "old way of politics" that involves taking bribes for legislative favors.

She said: "I believe that we have the influence of big money that impacts not just one party, but both parties in the United States Congress. And I do believe that that old way of politics has absolutely an influence in Joe Manchin's thinking and the way he navigates the body."
