"Bernie's supporters have been very, very damaging to him, and it's really frustrating to see and experience. They don't realize how influential they are. It's frustrating to feel like they are hurting him," Ocasio-Cortez said in the midst of the 2020 primary, according to the book. "I feel like Warren is scooping up LGBT, progressives, women, and progressives of color because of how they isolate."
She also worried that the behavior of Sanders's supporters were "forcing an unnecessary choice between class analysis and race analysis" through their "behavior, not so much policy."
Ocasio-Cortez made those comments as she mulled whether to endorse Sanders's 2020 campaign, even though she had worked as an organizer on his 2016 campaign.

It's socialism or barbarism dawg
All the exit polling I saw said otherwise, Bernie won all groups(but especially poc and queer people) below 55, while biden swooped up the Olds both black and white, and Warren was left scraping by on a fraction of the college cracker professional set.
Yes, because the "BernieBro" thing was mostly an online thing. In other words, that was just very online Hillary/Biden/Warren people crying because young people cared more about another candidate. But it was made into this huge issue by the mainstream media, I am betting that it received more TV time in 2016 and 2020 than the Iraq war and climate change combined.
Is the Bernie Bro in the room with you right now, Hillary?
Just a made up demographic to discredit as a proxy for discrediting all Bernie supporters.
Rember when she tried the same thing in 2008 with Obama boys but the reaction was correctly an immediate "what the fuck is wrong with you you racist old hag?"
Black people ain't having no Bernie
Thanks for bringing the mental image of this photo back to my memory.
this fucking potemkin barbershop kills me
Just everything is so odd:
Could they not afford a cheap poster frame?
Not my first choice, but sure
What the actual fuck. Let's see what's here: capeshit, sure; random action slop (Meg, Hobbs & Shaw, Equalizer 2), uhhh alright; PETER RABBIT, wot.
I was gonna say, every barbershop I've been in has had the barber chairs lined up, facing a wall with a mirror on it. Not in the middle of the room, on a rug, surrounded by sofas.
The guy getting his haircut has dreads and the barber is holding just a comb. What is going on.
you re-twist locs with a comb. that part is correct. looks like the wrong kind of comb though.
Ah gotcha, I knew they were treated differently but didn't know how
Maybe beard cut? But that still doesn't explain why he doesn't have any clippers or scissors
and he's sitting in an office chair.
What was this?
A fake barbershop, put together for a pro-Warren photo-op, to attempt to convince people that POC liked Warren
I'm fucking dead hahahiasdofhio sd;do kaaghg
I love when people do blackface on social media. It's so cool and not at all weird to roleplay as a minority to try and own other white people.
Mayo Pete’s campaign manager (Liz something) got caught literally pretending to be a black man on twitter who kept hyping up Pete.

electon season 2020 would've gone bat shit if covid never happened, im convinced
Warren really was the high water mark for 'Twitter is not real life'
I winced from the secondhand cringe reading this. It was probably him saying that and everybody telling him to shut the fuck up.
They got challenged on it, so the warren campaign seems to have staged a fake barber shop to prove it wasn't made up https://nitter.net/STEFisDOPE/status/1231425884063764480
the barber is wearing a tie! couches! what?!
That barber's name? Albert Einstein.
Didn’t Warren get like third place in her home state?
Yes. And it was at that point only a three person race
yep, AOC is just a warren-ite college cracker professional set-type so she doesn't see this pattern
She just "feels" like everyone else should agree with white college cracker professional set.
Her 6month bartending gig is stilen valor
Working a bit during college doesn't making someone working class either, nor does being "poor" during college and eating ramen make one poor. These are basically just mini-poverty tourisms and a hazing period for the middle class, not legitimate class differences. The precarity doesn’t exist, they have safety nets to fall back on (drop out and live with their parents at their huge house).
God damn does it ever wind me up hearing people talk about how they “struggled” in uni cause they had to eat ramen in their dorm or something. Mf you have rich parents and no student loan debt, there was no struggle. These people have zero concept of how it feels to be on the precipice of destitution with no one to fall back on.
Poverty is when I'm afraid to ask my parents for a couple thousand dollars, because they'll ask me what I'm spending it on and I don't want to admit that half The money they give me goes to alcohol and drugs.

Yeah in the middle of the 2020 primary there was definitely discussion of Warren getting polite Bernie hand-me-downs. I can't blame anyone for "feeling" like that during the midst of 2020 - there was a concentrated media effort to make that case and propaganda/advertising actually do work. It turns out, real people didn't actually behave that way though. If aoc is still concerned about that now or anytime after Warren washed out then she's a dumb ass but who cares if an electoral politician was aware of and in some way responded to electoral political punditry in 2020
Bernie can blame himself for that. He ran a dramatically weaker campaign in 2020 and refused to distinguish his policies from the Democratic Party policies. He wanted to have it both ways this time. He wanted a Political Revolution that was somehow going to be more or less the same regardless which Democratic Candidate got picked. What a loser
Also the difference between his support from men and women was only 5%, but the media always stressed he was specifically "the candidate for young men"
