AOC claims young voters will choose Biden because they can influence him more easily
Ocasio-Cortez also said Biden should choose progressives for leadership roles in his administration if he wins

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said that young Americans will vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, not because they think he is “their favorite person†but because they believe they can more easily sway him to act on behalf of their interests.
Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described democratic socialist who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., for president, said that while Biden may not hold the same views that she and others might have, he would be more receptive to their ideas than President Trump.
"I believe that young people right now have a very disciplined activist mindset," she told CNN's "State of the Union." "They are not here with the intent of voting for their favorite person or voting for, you know, someone they think is perfect as president. I think young people are actually quite disciplined and quite realistic and pragmatic in their vote and they want to vote for who they are going to lobby. Right now young people are so clear on their stances on so many political issues that they believe that they want to vote for a president that is at least is going to be receptive to their advocacy, activism, and protests, frankly."
