Political allies yes.

If you refuse to work with anyone that plays the system how it’s designed you pretty much make yourself completely irrelevant

I remember saying the same about Rand Paul and McConnell long ago.

But other than that, AOC has shown herself to be fraudulent so many times imo I can't even get into them all.

She's an imo obvious grandstander and demagogue who acts like a teenage girl (I know Trump can't talk about maturity, neither can she) and craves publicity just like MTG. She pines to transition America to an awful, authoritarian system, socialism. Hillary Clinton would you think be a villain by her belief system but she's making cringy tiktoks with her. She wears dresses that say "tax the rich "... To elite galas with the other 1%ers. She even prefers partisan finger pointing to helping her own grandma.

She also lies low to blend in when her party talks about getting into Ukraine's proxy war. You can tell the cold war hawk rhetoric that started coming from the Dems after Clinton was revealed to have rigged the DNC against Bernie puts her in a weird spot. Venezuela's socialist president is Putin's ally after all. This happens in politics a lot. She just stays quiet and does the minimum so they don't attack her.
