Sounds like AOC is trying to claw back good will after her recent blunder.
Many people on the left are saying that she voted that way to not appear on the same side as MTG, when she could have stood on her on morals as she's always done, relentlessly. But no, in this instance she's spineless.
No candidate is perfect, but she continues to bed the best for the left. And this is why we hold her to such a high standard, as much as Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee, and Al Green.
She needs to earn the nonzero trust she lost back, and I don't think lip service in the form of cyber fights does it for most.
Edit: OP corrected that this screenshot isn't from 2025, but from 2021. Still, interesting timing to post this given current events.
To clarify, I didn’t post this with any agenda related to AOC’s recent statements. I haven’t paid enough attention to the story to have an opinion. I just happened to be scrolling through old memes earlier today and felt like sharing, because I thought it was funny.
Yeah no worries! It's a harmless coincidence. I just thought I'd add my side of things given from what I've been hearing lately.
Didn't mean to insinuate you had an agenda either! Apologies if it came across that way.
I linked an article that talks about the story more, if you're interested.
It’s all good! I had just seen a few other comments mention similar things, so I wanted to make it clear that I wasn’t trying to make any particular point related to AOC’s recent votes. And I’ll take a look at the article, thanks!
Edit: Also, I do generally agree, we should hold our leaders to high standards
