Bernie isn't as savvy as AOC. I don't see him surviving so cleanly, and despite that the level of shit they've thrown at her is terrifying from a security and mental health viewpoint.
Watching them try to spin it as though Cortez is against Bernie is pretty weird.
"Savvy" seems like code for photogenic
The only two possible explanations I see for the ERA "Moderates" tripping over themselves to put her on a pedestal :
- Not letting "Leftists" claim a monopoly on this hot, new, fresh, super popular figure.
- Gambling on this very young politician moving towards center soon enough for the sake of her career and / or because of her actual upcoming experience and then retroactively painting everything until now with their brush.
Or so I suppose ? I'm no AOC expert but everything seems to point out she's closer to Sanders. She may move to the center as she ages but it's not going to happen before the primary (which is basically all that matters now, relative to the forum) and it seems the most sensible would be for her to endorse Sanders provided he's still in the running.
They're setting up for possibly eating a lot of crow by going full cult of personality.
Hopefully it happens because it would be
