And AOC is correct:
"So I need my colleagues to understand that we are not the enemy," she said. "And that their base is not the enemy. That the Movement for Black Lives is not the enemy, that Medicare for all is not the enemy. This isn't even just about winning an argument. It's that if they keep going after the wrong thing [she is discussing here lack of digital strategy], I mean, they're just setting up their own obsolescence."
