    Or you could read her arguments, which were direct and pragmatic. She was talking about how difficult this would be logistically, and that it would have been better to do 6 months ago, you know, when the progressive wing of the party raised the issue.

    AOC was “shilling” for some consistency, backbone and party unity out of a pragmatic need to beat back fascism. Now that this choice has been made, I’m betting she will continue with the same intent.

      Biden was going to lose and he was making other Democrats lose. What did you expect the party to do, unite behind losing to Trump?

      AOC was prob smart, saw Biden didn’t believe he was going to lose and saw an opportunity before it played out.
