AOC worships concepts, she doesn't follow kings (/queens).

She is trying to scare the Democrats into not being corporate centrist Republican-Lites, and she's using the voters and the threat of primaries to do so. Is she an enemy of the Democratic Party officials? Yes. Is she an enemy of the Democratic Party as a whole, 99% of which are voters and not representatives? Not at all.

Attacking AOC isn't helpful. The Democrats should be a big tent. There's an AOC wing and there's a Conor Lamb wing. They can both coexist.

That's true but we have to have unified messaging. Internal disagreement should not make it's way to the press--let along happen on Twitter. Disagreement with leadership should be saved for personal conversations. Words that don't help move their agenda forwards and make great fodder for Republican ads like "abolish", "Democratic-socialist", and "defund" should be completely blacklisted. Is it really too much to ask every representative to stick to their talking points?
In the heat of elections, yeah sure. But that's over now. You're a good poster, but your argument "internal disagreements should not make it's way to the press" is absolute garbage IMO. AOC and the progressives need to VOTERS to help them grow within the party, and the voters need to see what the disagreements are. If all they have are internal discussions, how is a small minority supposed to ever stand up meaningfully to the establishment? Progressives only have the power to grow and to check / threaten the establishment if the voters are involved.
