If your answer is to primary AOC, you have learned absolutely nothing.
Your brain must be filled to the brim with dogshit if you think that somehow you will find a Squad Part two and that will change everything.
You could replace the entire squad with clones of Che fucking Guevera and it wouldn't make a difference if you don't augment that with collective power.
Self-proclaimed communists getting wound up over congressional votes...you hate to see it.
The abbreviated theoretical answer is that electoral politics is a waste of time.
The more concrete answer is that it's a silly waste of resources that at best will produce a marginally more left rep still diluted by corporate power 100 to one. https://twitter.com/AlGoody421/status/1346022540112629761?s=20

She's extremely popular in her own district and it would take a massive effort to unseat her. Its analogous Democrats sinking $90 million in an unwinnable fight to unseat Mitch McConnel and even if you did win, rep power is basically worthless.
Resources and attention are better spent on non-electoral organizing efforts. Primarying her would be purely about emotion and retribution and amount to zero increase in political power for the left. It's a silly idea and anybody who suggests it should be laughed out of the room.
This is not even a defense of AOC. Let's for a second assume she's been possesed by the spirit of Margaret Thatcher, it would still be a waste of time to primary (or run third-party) against her.
If you still have faith in electoral politics after 2020, please grow up.

If you're mad, good! You've reached some sort of class consciousness and hopefully read the Communist Manifesto a few times, but that's only the first step. You need to go further.
Marxist theory is more than just an understanding of whose boot in on your neck. Thats only the surface. The next step is learning about political change. And fucking around with congressional districts is not it.
