AOC: Joe has to give us more than a couple of bones

From a recent interview:

"I've always said that I will support the Democratic nominee. But unity is a process, and figuring out what that looks like is part of this whole conversation that I think Bernie and Warren and other folks are a part of as well. [...] While Biden is the nominee, we also know that he didn't win because of policy—I don't think he won because of his agenda, he won because of different factors. In state after state after state Democratic voters support a progressive agenda. [...]  I think people understand that there are limits to what Biden will do and that's understandable—he didn't run as a progressive candidate. But, at the bare minimum, we should aspire to be better than what we have been before. [...] I don't think this conversation about changes that need to be made is one about throwing the progressive wing of the party a couple of bones—I think this is about how we can win."
