Ocasio-Cortez, who changed her vote from no to present on Iron Dome at the last minute appears visibly upset. Appears to be crying on the House floor, in a hug with Rep. Jayapal— Marc Rod (@marcrod97) September 23, 2021
I mean I largely agree with your assessment and I think 70 or 80 percent of the AOC criticism on here is sectarian ultraleft crap but switching from "no" to "present" still makes no fucking sense. Like...if they threatened her why not push her all the way to yes, right?
Legit this is the one thing I have absolutely no idea what happened. Why pressure one representative on a vote where other people voted no that passed 420-9? And only pressure them from "no" to "present" instead of "yes"? Like, what...? It doesn't make sense from anyone's perspective. Is she that cowardly?
