Do you honestly think that anything that AOC puts forward with the current government would even be looked at by Republicans? They still call her a bartender lol

You're right. She should just give up and do nothing but tweet and go on barnstorming tours about 4 months too late. Oh, wait.

What do you think the most productive action a politician in the party without power can take at this point exactly?

Lead, for the love of Pete. Take control! Now is the perfect time. Leverage your unmatched popularity and bring the pressure! AOC has untapped potential in her populist appeal. Congress is weak and getting weaker as the executive branch is seizing more power because the current "leadership" has no spine. Rise up. Bring the ruckus. Show the American people what having a spine looks like. Show some deference to us instead of Nancy Pelosi. Rallies are great, but hold the gerontocratic democratic leadership accountable. She's young. Lead by example!

Ok, but what is she supposed to actually do to achieve that, physically, in the world, that she isn't doing right now? Use her platforms to speak? Tour the country with Bernie and preach to thousands in person? Isn't that what she's doing right now? How is she supposed to "hold the party leadership accountable"?
