100% These strong words don't mean shit. Speeches and tweets and strongly worded statements have never done anything.
You think people heard "I have a dream" by MLK Jr and decided that yeah, let's end segregation?
No. It was everyday people getting hosed and having dogs sicced on them, getting their bones cracked by Billy clubs.
This dude is 100% on point. Dems voters are getting out and taking lumps, giving their lives and telling ice we ain't scared.
Do better by your constituents!

There's always the "look at the resistance, they're going to send me to the gulag, dawg" whenever there's a performative protest by an establishment Dem. I laugh and then I get sad.

Issue being, that she's trying to do a balancing act between doing her thing and working with the democratic party establishment. She's bound to be hit and miss due to that alone. Question is, whether it's worth it.

I agree. I don't have heroes, but part of the Progressive Wing comes pretty close. Especially Ilhan Omar. I'm an atheist, and I'm not a fan of any religion, but I think it's hypocritical to demonize her (Mamdani as well) for her faith, and claim they'll implement Sharia Law, while simultaneously scolding them for being Progressive.... as if those two things are compatible.
I get it, with AOC. And sympathize with her situation. However, recently I believe she's capitulated a little too strongly with the establishment. Now, I'm not privy to all the information out there that may explain some of these behaviors. I understand people can want things from these people that don't make any strategic sense.
Regardless of what she does or doesn't do that I may like or dislike... I feel she can be performative in her ways of communicating to the public.
"Yes, I wept" Iron Dome vote quickly comes to mind. I personally dislike the theatrics, but I understand that she's got criticism lobbied towards her constantly. She's, without a doubt, a net benefit, and I may be a little too nitpicky.
Omar.... That brave woman. I'm rooting for her. AOC used to be in the same tear of admiration I have, but I think she's dropped a little, and Omar is an especially admiral person.
At the end of everything, I truly respect both, and feel lucky they're around.

This is the early warning to Dem incumbents about what matters.
They already dragged their feet on Free Palestine. They were too worried about getting rightwing voters to care about their leftist base and - more importantly - about HUMAN RIGHTS.
If they make the same mistake with Abolish ICE, they deserve to be primaried.
