There is a sizable AOC Constituency for the Left. Her Green Deal was not only endorsed but co-sponsored in a bill with Presidential contenders Warren, Booker, Harris, and I think Kirsten Gillibrand. There is a sizable and very influential far left wing within the Democrat Party, its' platform has shifted to the far left as a result.
Biden and Beto on the lead.....but the 'AOC' cult nears 35% in the Dem Party, hardly a special interest Biden should ignore. As I have a Gentlemen's bet that Sleepy Joe will win his Primary, I'd like to see him wake up. Or....did he make that statement to convince voters the far left hasn't hijacked the Party.
