The Liberation Caucus, a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist faction taking over the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), is flatly rejecting Ocasio-Cortez as a potential 2028 presidential standard-bearer, accusing the New York congresswoman of retreating from socialism and abandoning the movement when its positions become politically inconvenient.
“Liberation condemns Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s continued retreat from socialist politics and rejects any effort to present her as the future presidential standard-bearer for DSA, or for the broader socialist movement,” the caucus said.
Its verdict was even blunter: “AOC’s record demonstrates a consistent pattern of opportunism.”
AOC is an opportunist, but she is also a communist, and even she isn’t good enough. If Democrats don’t stop this train, we are all going to get run over.
