What's this?

I don't think it's a given that the party will veer left

At least I hope it doesn't. This election should be a wake up call to those who are demanding it. I'm seeing AOC attacking friendly forces like the Lincoln Project and moderate Dems like Claire mccaskill on Twitter the past couple days and it just makes me shake my head. I think she understands that the party is at a point where it might decide to pull back towards the center and she's trying to make it sound like they don't need centrists. I seriously am getting to the point that I can't stand her.
