It's not her fault and she's still one of the most decent politicians in the US (doesn't mean much I know) but we are talking about the wrong thing lol

Hard to say. Getting kicked out of the MET for wearing a dress that upsets the richest people in NYC? That would be one hell of a PR move. AOC would be center stage for another week, easy.
But, like, would it have any meaningful impact on policy? No. If anything, she'd likely get yanked off whatever Congressional committee she's currently on and told to stand in the corner until she apologizes. That's less fun for a Congressperson who isn't simply in office to throw bombs.
More useful though than being a congressperson saying nothing or actively helping to drop bombs on foreign soil
We've been drawing down since the 2018 midterm. Not nearly fast enough, but we're functionally in retreat.
Not sure what AOC's MET dress would change in that regard. Maybe if she'd dressed in the names of the seven children we killed in Afghanistan as our goodbye salvo...
Sure, I'm just saying that if we are talking about throwing bombs......
