Knock Down the House and the Democratic Party politics of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(In other words, their aim is to promote candidates who can give a new face to the Democratic Party while leaving unchanged the content of the party’s politics: enter Ocasio-Cortez, and also the DSA.)
(Nothing remains of her criticisms of US militarism that won her a standing ovation from a small crowd of workers in one her first district debates (against a stand-in for Crowley) featured in a striking scene of the documentary.)
{Notably absent from the film, it should be mentioned, is any reference to socialism, despite the fact that the two most popular figures in the Democratic Party, not to mention the protagonist of the film, at least occasionally identify as “democratic socialists.”}
The narrative that AOC came from just being a bar tender to defeating a strong incumbent democrat is fictional. She spent a vast amount of her time in collage preparing for a political career, and worked under Ted Kennedy in his section on foreign affairs and immigration issues. The fact that this information is purposely left out and never mentioned alone is enough to make one question her true motives.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I've started to believe a little while ago that AOC is there to placate liberals and progressives. She came in to politics right when people seemed to start to get fed up and wanted populist candidates saying all the right things. Bernie has been doing it for decades (and of course even he seems to support some establishment elements of the Democratic Party), but newcomer AOC seems a lot more suspicious to me. She is saying all the right things with popular liberal issues and she bashes Republicans and Trump, but she pretty much stopped criticizing Democrats. That was a big part of her campaign, but now it's all but disappeared.
Not only has she left her GND (which includes corporate influence) up to establishment Democrats to write and detail, but she also supports Nancy Pelosi who couldn't be more establishment, along with other things in the article. She also said that she chooses to defer to Democratic Caucus leadership (all Democrat House members) on what to do in the situation in Venezuela.
She shows that she is more and more establishment by the day.
