See for yourself:
I’m proud to be working with @AOC and so many other Democrats to pass Medicare for All, debt free college and a Green New Deal. This is the agenda America needs — and that will energize voters to defeat Donald Trump. https://t.co/MPS9fDsuCH

Ocasio-Cortez on Biden
When calling out the progressive wing of the Democrat Party, Biden shared his thoughts on Ocasio-Cortez, as previously stated. The congresswoman also has her own opinions regarding the former vice president.
In Ocasio-Cortez’s own words:
“I think that he’s not a pragmatic choice. If you pick the perfect candidate like Joe Biden to win that guy in the diner, the cost will make you lose because you will depress turnout as well.”
Progressivism or Moderate Democratism?
The divide between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders is indicative of the gap between moderate Democrats and progressive ones. According to Biden, the majority of Democrat voters do not identify with extreme far-leftism. By contrast, Sanders maintains that a candidate like Biden is too lukewarm to successfully defeat President Trump.
