That campaign stunned the Democratic Party by coming within inches<br /> of winning the nomination. One of the few white progressives to endorse the campaign early was Burlington<br /> Mayor Bernie Sanders; Ocasio-Cortez, in 2016, would volunteer for his presidential campaign. Veterans of the<br /> Sanders campaign then formed the organization that recruited Ocasio-Cortez to run for Congress, and backed<br /> her and her squad to the hilt. At every step, the movement was in conflict with the centrist wing of the party, <br /> and the book, jam-packed with new revelations, explores how each shaped each other, and how that 30-year<br /> war shapes the fight playing out today.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong><em>"A thoroughly researched and ultimately persuasive telling of how the Democrats arrived at their current crossroads."</em> -- Kirkus Reviews</strong><br /> <br /> <em>"If you've been reading Ryan Grim's consistently groundbreaking reporting over the past decade, the recent monumental shift in our politics came as little surprise.
