In a sense yes. Both Burnie and AOC describ themselves as democratic socialists but neither of them have ever advocated for the public ownership of production like in pure socialism. They have always supplimented they’re political views along with democracy.
So simple calling them socialists is incorrect. Also keep in mind that both of them are part of the DNC.
Edit: Bernie Sanders is registered as an independent and AOC is not part of the DNC.
Dem soc =/= Soc dem
Democratic socialists are socialists, social democrats are not.

Bernie’s actually not part of the DNC. He is registered as an independent.
This is correct. I stand correct.
I believe neither of them are part of the DNC. They do caucus with the Democrats because the other option is the Republicans.
You may be correct. They both have always thrown their hats and with the Democrats now as far as I can tell anyway.
they have no choice. Being in a legislature requires compromise, or you can be 1 term idealistic representative who achieves nothing during your term.
