Yeah during Ocasio-Cortez's recent appearence in Ypsilanti, MI with Abdul El-Sayed candidate in Dem primary for Gov here, AOC substituted "progressivism" for "socialism" I her speech. My guess *was* that she did this at the request of El-Sayed, who doesn't use the dem socialist label but is supported by AOC and Sanders and shares their socdem platforms. Maximillian Alvarez of the Baffler asked El-Sayed why he doesn't call himself a socialist, but I don't think the response made it into Max's write-up of AOC's joint appearances with him the other weekend. I will try to share the response shortly.
