There was nothing bad in the amendement itself.

This was not a vote on the whole bill. It was a vote to change a part of the bill and strip out funding for some free weapons to Israel. It was voted on seperately.

So basically it was free real estate

Is this the confirmation that AOC is compromised?

Yes this is a very strong admission from AOC that she has not changed her stance and is still lockstep on genocide with the establishment when needed.

This is probably the best take on it https://xcancel.com/zei_squirrel/status/1946356344765968642
