As a member of the Democratic Sellouts of Amerikkka (DSA), it is AOC's job to gaslight the young left into wasting their time by joining the Democratic Party. Her very first campaign promise was to fight for new House leadership, but then her very first vote when getting to Congress was for Nancy Pelosi's speakership. She lied from the gitgo.

"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

I'm pretty sure the DSA rescinded their nomination of AOC in 2024 due to her zionism. Undeniably the org is still rife with opportunists though.
DSA members will eitheir be the most liberal socdems you ever meet or can cite state and revolution off the top of their head, and there's very little in-between.
I kid, but that's not too far off from how my interactions with them would go. Frankly I think the actually principled ones would do better to join the PSL, but I won't be too harsh considering the large gains the Red Star Caucus continues to make.
