As I said in the other thread, that apparently prompted GM to make this one, this is smart politics on their part. AOC is radical, her ideas are far fetched to unworkable, she clearly likes being in the spotlight and she's not very smart. Painting her as the face of the Democratic party is a big a win for them as saying Palin was "one heartbeat away from the Presidency" if McCain had won was for the Dems.
The thing to me is that she isn't that radical. A lot of what she supports is straight out of the FDR playbook. The problem is that she doesn't have enough institutional knowledge or political capital to really make anything work or get any help on making it feasible.
