and has worked with Warren and may endorse Warren) and is also very progressive overall, so a natural philosophical foe for centrists. AOC, the Squad and other progressives are proxies for the opposite (or at least very different) mindset from the moderates in the battle for the overall direction of the party with the centrist wing. Also, DU did not lose its collective mind, just one camp of DU.
