While the address was diplomatic, the New York Democrat — who did not mention Biden once — has been working with liberal groups to oust centrists like Biden in hopes of strengthening liberals’ foothold in Congress next year. And they’re already poised to increase their numbers, expanding their clout as they seek to push the House — and the next Democratic president — into embracing policies such as Medicare-for-all and the Green New Deal.

“Right now what you’re seeing is that we’ve got a common goal to beat Donald Trump, but come January, we maybe have a different goal,” said Corbin Trent, a former Ocasio-Cortez aide and political adviser. “They won the nomination, so they get to pick the game plan. Now, that doesn’t mean that they get to pick the game plan in the midterms, when we start primarying their a--es. And it don’t mean that they get to pick the game plan when we start recruiting for 2024 and we primary their a--es.”

This almost deserves it's own thread - from the Wapo article.

The Dem party is fracturing and they're not even trying to hide it anymore. The far left likes of AOC are instituting a non-hostile takeover and are admitting it to the world.

If they DO continue to reach further and further left - or start their own wing of the party - as planned, they're basically handing the Rs the presidency and houses for the forseeable future.

They VASTLY overestimate just how much of the populace agrees with their socialist ideals and far left agenda, just because those voices tend to be the loudest. They think they have a "movement" on their hands that's gaining steam, but they have yet to check outside their little bubbles for ACTUAL national support.

I sense either a whole new party forming, or a struggle between the old school dems and socialist newbies that fractures and damages the party. Either way it's a good way to split your base and lose elections.

I say let them have at it!
