"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.

I like that Bernie's failure was because of a small percentage of loudmouthed assholes but trump's victory was because of a large number of loudmouthed assholes.

Seems like there's a lesson in there somewhere but I'll bet I'd get banned for pointing it out.

Bernie was honestly a large part in my deprogramming, but at this point you can't act surprised when electoralism fails you
