There is no goal. Bernie and AOC recognize the need for resistance, but are too set in their ways/centrist to use effective methods of resistance, so this is a compromise with themselves where they go through the motions of resistance without pissing off the neoliberals too much and hope it accomplishes something. You know how Bernie likes to call for a mass movement to push America towards progressive politics, but when asked what that mass movement should do says "vote and call your senators"? It's more of that.
